Changes in the current use of concrete materials and design approaches are mandatory in order to comply with the requirements imposed on future sustainable concrete structures. Before this background, the article indicates the design of sustainable concrete mixes (green concretes or eco-concretes) – read here Part 1.
Changes in the current use of concrete materials and design approaches are mandatory in order to comply with the requirements imposed on future sustainable concrete structures. Before this background, the article indicates the design of sustainable concrete mixes (green concretes or eco-concretes) and the structural components made from them. Such concretes are characterized by a pronouncedly reduced CO2 footprint compared to conventional structural concretes made purely with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).
After an introduction to the sustainability problems of today‘s structural concretes,...
