Green Concrete - A Review Study

摘要

Green Concrete is that type of concrete that is used to create the construction materials having a lesser effect on the environment. This version of concrete is made up from the mix of the industrial waste and inorganic polymer. The most commonly way to produce green concrete is by using the industrial waste products such as fly ash, blast furnace slag, and cement mixture. This means concrete that uses less energy in its production & produces less carbon dioxide than normal concrete is green concrete. It has many advantages such as reduction in shrinkage & creep, green Concrete uses local and recycled materials in concrete and the heat of hydration of green concrete is significantly lower than traditional concrete. The green concrete is used in the dam, bridges, buildings, columns,,hut and much more. Among all materials used in the construction industry concrete is main material for construction purposes. Billions of tons of naturally occurring materials are mined for the production of concrete which will leave a substantial mark on the environment. Nowadays recycling of waste and industrial by products is gaining popularity to make concrete an environment friendly material and this concrete can be called as Green Concrete. This review paper will give us a brief idea about advantages and disadvantages of green concrete.
