The aim of this research article is to analyze the effects of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube incorporation in the concrete and to discuss the significance of the changes in the mechanical property. In addition the cement replacement was also done. Hence in this research the combined effect will be analysed. The three different proportions such as 0.025%, 0.05% and 0.075% of incorporations were made along with 20% replacement of cement with Class-F flyash. The most important part in incorporation of MWCNTs in concrete is dispersion or surface decoration. It was done with Poly-Carboxylic Ether solution and magnetic stirring. After specimens casting and 28 days of immersed curing the specimens were tested for the elastic modulus of concrete.
