| Abstract: |
This institute mainly focuses on the construction industry as it is one of the biggest contributors of global carbon dioxide owing mainly to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) production. Environmental concerns regarding concrete combine with growth in global infrastructure demand to push innovative sustainable replacements for traditional cement. It evaluate mechanical, durability and microstructural properties of concrete utilizing the waste materials. It is found that replacement levels differ with respect to material type and fineness, however, strategic replacements can improve the compressive strength substantially, increase sulfate attack resistance, and mitigate thermal cracking. Setting time and early-age strength are however still very much an issue This work is by far the overall review of the recent trends to find out the best replacement ratios and discuss future research potentials for carbon-neutral construction materials. |
