 INTRODUCTION

Green Concrete is the revolutionary topic in the history of concrete industry, this
was first invented in Denmark in year 1998.Green concrete has nothing to do with
colour. Green concrete is the type of concrete which is much like the conventional
concrete but the production of such concrete require minimum amount of energy
and causes least harm to environment. It is a concept of using eco-friendly
materials in concrete, to make the system more sustainable. Green concrete is very
often and also cheap to produce, because for example, waste products are used as
a partial substitute for cement, charges. The size of construction industry all over
the world is growing at faster rate. The huge construction growth boosts demand
for construction materials. Aggregates are the main constituent of concrete. Due to
continuously mining the availability of aggregates has emerged problems in
recent times. To overcome this problem, there is need to find replacement to some
extent. Nowadays, there is a solution to some extent and the solution is known as
“Green Concrete”. It is a concept of thinking environment into concrete
considering every aspect from raw materials manufacture over mix design to
structural design, construction, and service life.
 Green Concrete

Concrete which is made from concrete wastes that are eco-friendly are called as
“Green concrete”. Concrete that uses less in energy in its production and produces
less carbon dioxide than normal concrete is green concrete. The other name for
green concrete is resource saving structures with reduced environmental impact for
e.g. Energy saving, co2 emissions, waste water.
“Green concrete” is a revolutionary topic in the history of concrete industry. This
was first invented in Denmark in the year 1998 by Dr. WG. Concrete wastes like
slag, power plant wastes, recycled concrete, mining and quarrying wastes, waste
glass, incinerator residue, red mud, burnt clay, sawdust, combustor ash and foundry
sand. Green Concrete is a term given to a concrete that has had extra steps taken in
the mix design and placement to insure a sustainable structure and a long life cycle
with a low maintenance surface. e.g. Energy saving, CO2 emissions, waste water.
The goal of the Centre for Green Concrete is to reduce the environmental impact of
concrete. To enable this, new technology is developed. The technology considers
all phases of a concrete construction’s life cycle, i.e. structural design, specification,
manufacturing and maintenance.
Material used in Green Concrete

         
 lined canal

Canal lining is the process of reducing seepage loss of irrigation

water by adding an impermeable layer to the edges of the trench.
Seepage can result in losses of 30 to 50 percent of irrigation water
from canals, so adding lining can make irrigation systems more
efficient.
 Need of Green Concrete

Cement-based materials are the most abundant manufactured materials in the world. Today’s exciting
trend is the Green building is in our country. The potential environmental benefit to society of being
able to build with green concrete is huge. Green Concrete as the name suggests is eco friendly and
saves the environment by using waste products generated by industries in various forms like rice husk
ash, micro silica, etc to make resource-saving concrete structures. Use of green concrete helps in
saving energy, emissions, waste water Green concrete is very often also cheap to produce as it uses
waste products directly as a partial substitute for cement, thus saving energy consumption in
production of per unit of cement.
Green concrete has greater strength and durability than the normal concrete. It is realistic to assume
that the technology can be developed, which can reduce the CO2 emission related to concrete
production. Generally the construction industry accounts for a massive environmental impact due to
its high demand of energy. As a result of the awareness built during the past few years about green
house effect and damage to the nature, more people and countries became conscious about their
future.
Green concrete capable for sustainable development is characterized by
application of industrial wastes to reduce consumption of natural resources
and energy and pollution of the environment. Marble sludge powder can be
used as filler and helps to reduce the total voids content in concrete. Natural
sand in many parts of the country is not graded properly and has excessive
silt on other hand quarry rock dust does not contain silt or organic impurities
and can be produced to meet desired gradation and fineness as per
requirement. Consequently, this contributes to improve the strength of
concrete. An attempt has been made to durability studies on green concrete
compared with the natural sand concrete by usage of quarry rock dust and
marble sludge powder as hundred percent substitutes for natural sand in
concrete. Recent focus on climate change and the impact of greenhouse gas
emissions on our environment has caused many to focus on CO2 emissions
as the most critical environmental impact indicator.
 Need of lined canal

Lining a canal can prevent waterlogging around low-lying areas of the

canal. By making a canal less permeable, the water velocity increases
resulting in a greater overall discharge. Increased velocity also reduces
the amount of evaporation and silting that occurs, making the canal
more efficient
 Environmental Benefits

Lasts Longer:

Green concrete gains strength faster and has a lower rate of shrinkage than concrete made
only from Portland Cement. Structures built using green concrete have a better chance of
surviving a fire, as it can withstand temperatures of up to 2400°F. It also has a greater
resistance to corrosion, which is important with the effect pollution has had on the
environment. Acid rain greatly reduces the longevity of traditional building materials. All of
those factors add up to a building that will last much longer than one made with ordinary
concrete. Similar concrete mixtures have been found in ancient Roman structures. This
material was also used in the Ukraine in the 1950s and 1960s. Over 40 years later, those
Ukrainian buildings are still standing. If buildings are not constantly having to be rebuilt,
fewer construction materials are needed. The impact on the environment is reduced.
Reduces Energy Consumption:
 

If we use less Portland cement and more fly ash when mixing concrete, then
we will use less energy. The materials that are used in Portland cement require
huge amounts of coal or natural gas to heat. Fly ash already exists as a
byproduct of another industrial process, so we are not expending much more
energy to use it to create green concrete. Another way that green concrete
reduces energy consumption is that a building constructed from it is more
resistant to temperature changes, thus saving heating and cooling costs.
Reduces Carbon Dioxide Emissions :

 
Among the main ingredients in ordinary cement are pulverized
limestone, clay, and sand which are heated to a high temperature. This
process is responsible for between 5% and 8% of all Carbon Dioxide
emissions worldwide. The manufacturing of green concrete releases
up to 80% fewer Carbon Dioxide emissions. As a part of a global
effort to reduce emissions, switching completely to green concrete for
construction will help considerably.
Application of Green Concrete
•It is used in the construction of bridges
•It is widely used in the building Construction
•It is used in the construction of Column
•It can be used in the road Construction
Advantages of Green Concrete
•Much change is not required for the preparation of green concrete compared to
conventional concrete.
•Reduces environmental pollution
•Have good thermal and acid resistance.
•Compressive and split tensile strength is better with some materials compared
to conventional concrete.
•Reduces the consumption of cement overall.
•Green concrete is economical compared to conventional concrete.
•Green concrete having better workability than conventional concrete.
Disadvantages of green concrete
•Structures constructed with green concrete have comparatively less
Life than structures with conventional concrete
•Compressive strength and other characteristics are less compared to conventional
concrete.
Conclusion
•There is significant potential in waste materials to produce green
concrete.
•The replacement of traditional ingredients of concrete by waste
materials and by products gives an opportunity to manufacture
economical and environment friendly concrete.
•Partial replacement of ingredients by using waste materials and
admixtures shows better compressive and tensile strength, improved
sulphate resistance, decreased permeability and improved workability.
•The cost per unit volume of concrete with waste materials like quarry
dust is lower than the corresponding control concrete mixes.
•A detail life cycle analysis of green concrete by considering various
parameters is very much necessary to understand the resultant concrete
properties
