1. A method for producing a concrete product for industrial and commercial applications comprising:
a) preparing a concrete slurry with a water to cement ratio of between about 0.400 to about 0.450, with fibers selected from the group consisting of steel fibers, macro synthetic fibers, and combinations thereof;
b) preparing the concrete slurry with an additive selected from the group consisting of colloidal silica, graphene oxide, and combinations thereof; and
c) pouring the concrete slurry to form the concrete product,
wherein the colloidal silica is an amorphous nanometer-sized silica (SiO 2) in a particle size ranging from between about 3.0 nm to about 100.0 nm in aqueous solution and the colloidal silica aqueous solution is added to the concrete slurry during the preparation phase in ranges of between about 0.50% to about 1.50% by weight of cement.
