A study of alkali-activated concrete mixes in seawater environments

Mengasini L., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gunn M.

Topic:

Marine environment and coastal management

This paper assesses the performance in seawater environment of concrete mixes based on alkali-activated (AA) cements; these are proposed as an alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) to address environmental footprint of cement production and to find new uses for waste materials. The proposed...Read more

Reducing the environmental impact of construction wastes by their use in the preparation of construction mixtures

(Corresponding) Junak J., Sicakova A.

Topic:

Hazardous waste management

At present, great emphasis is placed on protecting the environment. Civil engineering, mainly cement production, greatly pollutes the surrounding environment. Even the excavation of aggregate, which is one of the basic components of concrete, does not make any extra contribution to the...Read more
