INTRODUCTION
The concrete is made with concrete wastes which
are eco-friendly so called as 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.
What is GREEN concrete?
Most people associate GREEN concrete with
concrete that is colored with pigment.
However, it is also referred which has not yet
hardened. But in the context of this topic, green
concrete is taken to mean environmentally
friendly concrete.
This means concrete that uses less energy in its
production & produces less carbon dioxide than
normal concrete is green concrete.
Why Green Concrete?
Huge impact on sustainability
Most widely used material on Earth
30% of all materials flows on the planet
70% of all materials flows in the built
environment
> 2.1 billion tonnes per annum.
>15 billion tonnes poured each year.
Over 2 tonnes per person per annum
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).
Features Of Green concrete
First, green concrete is applied as one of the raw materials. Green
cement contains more deserted materials and less clinker cement than
traditional cement, thus it consumes less energy and generates less dust
in production.
Second, green concrete should include as less cement as possible so
that there will be less gas emission.
Third, levigated active mixtures is usually added to cement to reduce
cement proportion.
Fourth, high-powered additives are mixed into the concrete.
Fifth, the raw materials should be in such perfect ratio that a given
amount of concrete reaches the highest power.
Sixth, the cement can be reused.
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.
Environmental Benefits to using
Green Concrete
Lasts Longer
Uses Industrial Waste
Reduces Energy Consumption
Reduces CO2 Emissions by 21%. This is in
accordance with the Kyoto Protocol of 1997.
Green lightweight aggregates
Synthetic lightweight aggregate produced from
environmental waste is a viable new source of
structural aggregate material.
The uses of structural grade lightweight concrete
reduce considerably the self-load of a structure and
permit larger precast units to be handled.
Water absorption of the green aggregate is large but the
crushing strength of the resulting concrete can be high.
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
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.
LIMITATION
By using stainless steel, cost of reinforcement
increases.
Structures constructed with green concrete have
comparatively less life than structures with
conventional concrete.
Split tension of green concrete is less than that of
conventional concrete.
Applications 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
Comparison between
Conventional and Green
Concrete
The experimental result concludes that, the rate at which the compressive
strength is gained by the green concrete (under water submerged curing) is less
compared to the compressive strength of the conventional concrete (under water
submerged curing). However, the compressive strength of the Green Concrete
(under steam curing) is very high compared to the other methods of cube curing
carried out. It can be concluded that the strength gained by the green concrete
cubes under steam curing is 10% higher compared to the tests conducted on
cubes in water submerged curing condition.
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 industries
having problem to dispose wastes.
Also having reduced environmental impact with
reduction in CO2 emission.
CONCLUSION
Green concrete having reduced environmental impact with
reduction of the concrete industries co2 emission by 30%. Green
concrete is having good thermal and fire resistant.
In this concrete recycling use of waste material such as ceramic
wastes, aggregates, so increased concrete industry use of waste
products by 20%. Hence green concrete consumes less energy and
becomes economical.
So definitely use of concrete product like green concrete in future
will not only reduce the emission of co2 in environment and
environmental impact but also economical to produce.
