Abstract:

Blended cements are preferred to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in construction industry due to costs and technological and environmental benefits associated with them. Prevalence of significant quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere due to increased industrial emission is deleterious to hydrated cement materials due to carbonation. Recent research has shown that blended cements are more susceptible to degradation due to carbonation than OPC. The ingress of CO2 within the porous mortar matrix is a diffusion controlled process. Subsequent chemical reaction between CO2 and cement h

Abstract:

The industrialization has generally been regarded as an effective way to provide employment and to improve the socio-economic wellbeing of the people. However, industrial activities can also bring negative impacts on the lives of the affected population. Such is the case in Kalambaina, Sokoto, Nigeria. The government has given license to a company to excavate limestone to make cement and generate revenue. However, the impacts of the activities have been of great concern to Kalambaina inhabitants, especially regarding the emission of cement dust which causes air, water and land pollution. The c

Abstract:

The construction industry remains one of the major CO₂ emission sources globally because producing Portland cement contributes to about eight percent of total emissions. Sustainable alternatives need development to address climate change effects because limestone calcination produces substantial CO₂ emissions at high energy usage levels.

Abstract:

Granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS) and coal fly ash (CFA) are two well-known constituents in Portland cements. Ternary Portland cements (GBFS-CFA-K) provide environmental advantages by reducing Portland cement clinker (K) production and, therefore, promote lower CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, both of them cause a delay in the compressive strength gain. Given that, the early compressive strength for both constituents is low, but they improve the compressive strength at medium and later ages as consequence of the pozzolanic reaction.

Abstract:

Increasing the rate of construction material consumption has caused significant environmental problems in recent decades, especially the production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), which has been associated with 8% of the world’s human CO2 emissions and is considered the leading binder of concrete. This study aims to investigate the effects of substituting conventional concrete (CC) material with green concrete (GC) in the non-structural concrete works of a residential building in New Borg El-Arab City, Egypt. It attempts to establish what the effects are of using GC on cement, natural aggre

Abstract:

Concrete specimens are determined by replacing cement with rice husk ash and eggshell powder. This approach is part of sustainable construction practices where waste products are utilized to reduce the reliance on traditional materials like cement, which has a significant environmental impact due to its production process. Rice husk ash is a byproduct of rice milling and has pozzolanic properties, which can enhance the strength and durability of concrete when used as a partial replacement for cement. Eggshell powder, on the other hand, contains calcium carbonate, which can also contribute to t

Masonry walls comprise an important part of the building envelope and, thus, are exposed to environmental effects such as temperature and moisture variations. However, structural assessment usually neglects the influence of these hygro-thermal loads and assumes ideal conditions. This paper presents a hygro-thermo-mechanical model and its application to simulate the impact of temperature- and moisture-related phenomena on the structural behavior of masonry walls. A fully coupled heat and mass transfer model is presented and a 2D finite element model is prepared to simulate the behavior of a bri

Landfilling of mineral wool waste in big bags at separate landfill compartments is required in Austria. This results in enormous differences in the Young’s moduli between common construction and demolition (C&D) waste compartments and mineral wool compartments, which causes severe accidents in terms of overturned vehicles due to sudden subsidence of the subsurface. Conditioning of mineral wool waste might be applied to adjust its geomechanical behaviour to that of common C&D waste but has never been investigated scientifically before.
