Top Facts about Green Concrete

What is Green Concrete

Concrete that is made of concrete waste that is environmentally friendly is called "green concrete". Concrete that uses less energy in its production and produces less carbon dioxide than normal concrete is green concrete. Green concrete is another name for resource saving structures, such as low environmental impact to the environment. Energy saving, CO2 emissions, waste water.

Green concrete is a revolutionary subject in the history of the concrete industry. It was first invented in Denmark in the year 1998 by Dr. Was done by W.G. Solid waste such as slag, concrete plant waste, recycled concrete, mining and quarrying waste, waste glass, incineration residues, red clay, burnt clay, sawdust, condenser ash and foundry sand. Green concrete is a term given to concrete that contains additional steps for mixing composition and placement, and for a permanent structure and low maintenance surface.

Need of Green Concrete

Cement-based materials are the most abundant manufactured materials in the world. Today's exciting trend is green building in our country. The potential environmental benefit to society of being able to construct with green concrete is enormous. Green concrete as the name suggests is environmentally friendly and saves the environment by using waste products generated by a variety of industries such as rice bran ash, micro silica, etc.The use of green concrete helps in saving energy, emissions, waste water is often much cheaper to produce green concrete because it uses waste products directly as a partial alternative to cement, thus the use of cement Saves energy consumption per unit output.

Advantages of Green Concrete

30% reduction in CO2-emission of concrete industry 

20% increase in waste products used concrete industry 

No environmental pollution and sustainable development. 

Green concrete requires little maintenance and repair. 

Green concrete has better practicality than conventional concrete.

Good thermal resistant and fire resistant. 

The compressive strength behavior of seracrit with water cement ratio is similar to conventional concrete. 

The flexural strength of green concrete is almost equal to that of conventional concrete.

Limitations of Green Concrete

By using stainless steel, the cost of reinforcement increases. 

Structures constructed with green concrete have a relatively short life compared to structures with conventional concrete. 

The partition stress of green concrete is lower than that of conventional concrete.
