    This document discusses green concrete, which is more environmentally friendly than traditional concrete. Green concrete produces less carbon dioxide during production by using materials like fly ash and slag that replace some of the cement. It can also use recycled aggregates to reduce emissions. The document outlines the reasons for using green concrete, how it is produced, suitable materials, its features and advantages compared to traditional concrete.

    What is Green Concrete?
    • A concrete that uses less energy in its
    production & produces less carbon dioxide
    than normal concrete is green concrete.
    • Green Concrete is taken to mean
    environment-friendly concrete.
    Why Green Concrete?
    • The main ingredient in concrete is cement and it
    consists of Limestone (Calcium Carbonate
    CaCO3).
    • During manufacture of cement, its ingredients
    are heated to about 800 - 10000C.
    • During this process the Carbon Dioxide is driven
    off.
    • Approximately 1kg of cement releases about
    900gms of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere.
    • Therefore, green concrete came into existence to
    reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.
    PRODUCTION OF GREEN CONCRETE
    Concrete with inorganic residual products.Ceramic
    wastes used as green aggregates. By replacing cement
    with fly ash, micro silica in larger amounts.To develop
    new green cements and binding materials (i.e. by
    increasing the use of alternative raw materials and
    alternative fuels, and by developing/improving cement
    with low energy consumption). To use residual products
    from the concrete industry, i.e. stone dust (from crushing
    of aggregate) and concrete slurry (from washing of mixers
    and other equipment).To use new types of cement with
    reduced environmental impact. (mineralized cement,
    limestone addition, waste-derived fuels).
    Materials for Green Concrete
    • Recycled Demolition Waste Aggregate
    • Recycled Concrete Aggregate
    • Blast furnace Slag
    • Manufactured Sand
    • Glass Aggregate
    • Fly ash
    Materials for Green Concrete
    • Locally available: Construction materials, components,
    and systems found locally or regionally, saving energy
    and resources in transportation to the project site.
    • Salvaged, re-furnished, or re-manufactured: Includes
    saving a material from disposal and renovating,
    repairing, restoring, or generally improving the
    appearance, performance, quality, functionality, or
    value of a product.
    • Reusable or recyclable: Select materials that can be
    easily dismantled and reused or recycled at the end of
    their useful life.
    Features of Green Concrete:
    • Cement:Most of CO2 in concrete is from the cement manufacturing process.
    A typical cubic meter of concrete contains about 10% cement by weight. Out
    of all ingredients, cement gives out most carbon dioxide. The reaction in the
    process of Cement manufacture is
    CaCO3 = CaO + CO2
    • 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.
    • Resources:The growing shortage of natural aggregate and sand is another
    aspect the construction industry must consider.Use of recycled materials
    like aggregate, water is some ingredient which should be encouraged since
    fresh resources are becoming increasingly scarce.
    SUITABILITY OF GREEN CONCRETE IN
    STRUCTURES
    • Reduce the dead weight of a facade from 5
    tons to about 3.5 tons.
    • Reduce crane age load, allow handling, lifting
    flexibility with lighter weight.
    • Good thermal and fire resistance, sound
    insulation than the traditional granite rock.
    Improve damping resistance of building.Speed
    of construction, shorten overall construction
    period.
    Advantages
    • User-friendly
    • Optimized mix designs mean easier handling, better
    consistency and easier finishing
    • Reduction in shrinkage & creep
    • Green Concrete uses local and recycled materials in
    concrete.
    • The heat of hydration of green concrete is significantly
    lower than traditional concrete
    • This result in a lower temperature rise in large concrete
    pours which is a distinct advantage for green concrete.
