The negative impacts of cement-based material (CBM) production are way bigger than ever
expected. To illustrate the scale of this phenomenon, all the forests in the world, regardless …

The bulk of the cement industry's environmental burden is from the calcareous source.
Calcium is mostly available naturally as limestone (CaCO 3), where almost half of the mass …

Ancient Roman concretes have survived millennia, but mechanistic insights into their
durability remain an enigma. Here, we use a multiscale correlative elemental and chemical …

In this study, lithium slag was utilised as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) to
develop pozzolanic activity and reduce CO 2 emissions related to cement production, with a …

Production of concrete is consuming significant amounts of raw materials, high level of
energy, and is heavily dependent on fossil fuels. This induces significant harmful impact on …

The production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is responsible for a significant part of
global CO 2 emission. For decades, the raw material and high burn temperature (up to …

The use of fly ash in concrete dates back to the late 20 th century and its advantages and
disadvantages had been widely researched. Despite the broad based research carried out …

Around 8% of the global carbon dioxide emissions, are generated during cement
manufacturing, which also involves significant use of raw materials, leading to adverse …

This paper reports the composition and properties of highly flowable self-consolidating
concrete (SCC) mixtures made of high proportions of cement replacement materials such as …

This paper presents a study on the properties of sustainable high performance steel fiber-
reinforced concretes that were manufactured with recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) …
