    Green Concrete

    Uploaded by

    Green concrete is an environmentally friendly concrete that uses less energy and produces fewer carbon dioxide emissions than traditional concrete. Most of the carbon dioxide in concrete comes from the cement manufacturing process, so green concrete uses materials like fly ash as a partial cement replacement. It has benefits like reduced shrinkage and creep, lower heat production, and uses locally available and recycled materials. Green concrete is suitable for structures as it is lighter weight, more durable, and reduces the concrete industry's carbon dioxide emissions and waste. Its use in India has scope to grow as it can help reduce disposal of industrial wastes and lower environmental impacts.

    The key takeaways are that green concrete aims to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete by using recycled materials and less energy intensive production processes.

    Green concrete is environmental friendly concrete that uses less energy in its production and produces less carbon dioxide than normal concrete.

    Most of the carbon dioxide in concrete comes from the cement manufacturing process, while a small amount comes from extracting virgin aggregates.

    What is Green Concrete ?
    Green Concrete is environmental friendly concrete.

    Concrete that uses less energy in its production
    & produces less carbon dioxide than normal
    concrete is Green Concrete
    3
    Where does the Carbon Dioxide come from in
    concrete ?
    i) Cement:

    Most of CO2 in concrete is from the cement manufacturing process. A
    typical cubic meter of concrete contains about 10% cement by weight. The
    reaction in the process of Cement manufacture is:





    ii) Aggregate:

    Use of virgin aggregates contributes about 1% of all CO2 emissions from a
    typical cubic meter of concrete. Therefore, the use of alternate aggregate is
    desirable. The use of local and recycled aggregates is desirable as it can
    reduce transportation and fuel cost and support sustainable development.

    Features of Green Concrete
    The concrete which can fall in the category of green must have the
    following characteristics.
    Optimizes use of available materials
    Better Performance
    Enhanced cohesion workability / consistency
    Reduced shrinkage / creep.
    Durability - Better service life of concrete
    Reduced carbon footprint
    No increase in cost
    LEED India Certification
    Green concrete mix is designed with the principle of "Particle-Packing
    Optimization" to meet requirements of plastic and hardened properties.

    Materials for Green Concrete

    Green construction materials are composed of renewable, rather than non
    renewable resources. Green materials are environmentally responsible
    because impacts are considered over the life of the product. Depending
    upon project-specific goals, green materials may involve an evaluation of
    one or more of the following criteria.
    1. Locally available
    2. Salvaged, re-furnished, or re-manufactured
    3. Reusable or recyclable
    7
    Materials for Green Concrete
    Coarse Aggregates are:
    Fresh Local Aggregate
    Recycled Demolition Waste Aggregate
    Blast Furnace Slag (BFS) Recycled Concrete Material (RCM)
    8
    Materials for Green Concrete
    Fine Aggregate s are:
    Manufactured Sand For Concrete
    Recycled Glass Aggregate
    Blast Furnace Slag (BFS) Fly Ash
    9
    Cementitious materials - Fly Ash
    Fly ash is a by-product produced during the operation of coal-fired power
    plants. The finely divided particles from the exhaust gases are collected in
    electrostatic precipitators. These particles are called Fly ash.
    Advantages Of Using Fly Ash in Concrete:
    1. Utilization of fly ash as a part replacement of cement or as a mineral
    admixture in concrete saves on cement and hence the emission of
    CO2.
    2. Use of good quality fly ash in concrete has shown remarkable
    improvement in durability of concrete, especially in aggressive
    environment.
    3. Some of the technical benefits of the use of fly ash in Green Concrete
    are:
    a) Higher ultimate strength
    b) Increased durability
    c) Improved workability
    d) Reduced bleeding
    e) Increased resistance to alkali-silica reactivity.
    f) Reduced shrinkage.
    10
    Advantage Of Green Concrete
    1. Optimized mix designs mean easier handling, better consistency and
    easier finishing.
    2. Reduction in shrinkage & creep.
    3. Green Concrete uses local and recycled materials in concrete.
    4. The heat of hydration of green concrete is significantly lower than
    traditional concrete.
    5. This result in a lower temperature rise in large concrete pours which
    is a distinct advantage for green concrete.

    SUITABILITY OF GREEN CONCRETE IN STRUCTURES

    Several factors which enhances the suitability of green concrete in
    structures include:

    1. Reduce the dead weight of a structure and reduce crane age load; allow
    handling, lifting flexibility with lighter weight.
    2. Good thermal and fire resistance, sound insulation than the traditional
    granite rock.
    3. Improve damping resistance of building.
    4. Reduction of the concrete industry's CO2-emission by 30 %.
    5. Increased concrete industry's use of waste products by 20%.
    6. No environmental pollution and sustainable development.
    7. Green concrete requires less maintenance and repairs.
    8. Compressive strength behaviour of concrete with water cement ratio is
    more than that of conventional concrete.
    9. Flexural strength of green concrete is almost equal to that of
    conventional concrete.

    SCOPE IN INDIA
    Green concrete is a revolutionary topic in the history of concrete industry.
    As green concrete is made with concrete wastes it does take more time to
    come in India because of industries having problem to dispose wastes and
    it also reduces environmental impact with reduction in CO2 emission. Use
    of green concrete can help us reduce a lot of wastage of several products.
    Various non-biodegradable products can also be used and thus avoiding the
    issues of their disposal.
