Eco-concrete as ecological solution for green building industry

Green 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...

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...

In terms of policy, the Ministry of Construction has prepared and issued a Guidelines for Green Ecological Residential Area Construction Elements and Technical, China Ecological Residential Technology Evaluation Manual, Environmental Impact Evaluation Law of the People’s Republic of China and other documents; in practice, economically developed areas combined with their own characteristics have...

Eco-friendly Self-curing Concrete Incorporated with Polyethylene Glycol as Self-curing Agent (RESEARCH NOTE)

Today concrete is most generally utilized development material in the world due to its strength and sturdiness properties. To attain good strength, curing of concrete is important so we introduce the concept of self-curing concrete rather than immersion or sprinkle curing to avoid water scarcity. It was observed that water solvent polymers can be utilized as a self-curing agent, i.e. polyethyle...
