Green Concrete

Abstract

Concrete which is made from concrete wastes that are eco-friendly are called as “Green concrete”. Green Concrete is a term given to a concrete that has 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, wastewater. Today the word green is not just limited to colour, it represents the environment, which is surrounding us. “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. The goal of the Centre for Green Concrete is to reduce the environmental impact of concrete.
