Concrete as a Green Building Material
Concrete is by far the most widely used construction material worldwide. Its huge popularity is the result of a number of well-known advantages, such as low cost, general availability, and wide applicability. But this popularity of concrete also carries with it a great environmental cost. The billions of tons of natural materials mined and processed each year, by their sheer volume, are bound t...
متن کاملGreen Concrete: An Efficient and Eco-Friendly Sustainable Building Material
Green concrete is a concept of thinking environment into concrete considering every aspect from raw materials manufacture over mixture design to structural design, construction and service life. Green concrete is a type of concrete which resembles the conventional concrete but the production or usage of such concrete requires minimum amount of energy and causes least harm to the environment. Si...
متن کاملPerformance of Non-fired Green Brick Containing Rice Husk as Sustainable Building Material
The demand for sustainable alternative construction materials to cement in modern technology cannot be underemphasized. This paper presents a non-fired green brick with an agriculture residue namely, rice husk. Although, high plasticity brown clay deposits are widely distributed in Malaysia and rice husk is a well known agriculture residue, research works on non-fired green brick with rice husk...
متن کاملBehaviour of Bacterial Concrete as Self Healing Material
The major problem the construction industry concurs with is the high maintenance cost of the concrete. Various natural processes such as weathering, faults, land subsidence, earthquake, changes in moisture and temperature, have the tendency to create cracks in concrete. Therefore, to counter these effects, it has become necessary to come up with ways which will not only help in counteracting bu...
متن کاملSustainable Studies on Concrete with GGBS As a Replacement Material in Cement
The utilization of supplementary cementation materials is well accepted, since it leads to several possible improvements in the concrete composites, as well as the overall economy. The present paper is an effort to quantify the strength of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) at various replacement levels and evaluate its efficiencies in concrete. Cement with GGBS replacement has emerged...
