Summary
Concrete is one of the most
widely used materials in civil engineering. While meeting engineering needs,
concrete structures are also facing various challenges. The recycling of
materials and the reduction of CO2 emissions are important issues
that need to be resolved urgently. Fly ash from thermal power plants, slag from
the iron and steel industry, and rice husk ash from agricultural by-products
can replace a part of cement and reduce CO2 emissions. In addition,
after the concrete structure is dismantled, it can be crushed into coarse
aggregate and reused in the production and manufacture of concrete. How to
reduce or even eliminate CO2 emissions while meeting the
construction performance is an urgent problem for academic institutions,
concrete construction companies, and government departments to solve. The
purpose of this research is to provide an exchange platform for sustainable
concrete with recyclable materials, to discover practical and feasible methods
for the carbon reduction of the concrete industry, and to promote the
sustainable development of the construction industry.
