    Green concrete is environmentally friendly concrete that uses less energy and produces less carbon dioxide during production than traditional concrete. It aims to reduce CO2 emissions by using waste materials like fly ash as partial cement replacements. The objectives of green concrete are sustainable development and reduced environmental impact without overusing natural resources. It provides similar or better performance than traditional concrete while being more durable and having a lower carbon footprint.

    TOPIC
    GREEN CONCRETE
    What is Green Concrete ?
     Green Concrete is environmentally friendly concrete.
     Concrete that uses less energy in its production and produces less carbon dioxide than normal
    concrete is green concrete.
    Need of Green Concrete
     The main ingredient in concrete is cement and it consists of lime stone.
     During manufacturing of cement its ingredients are heated to about 800C to 10000C.
     During this process carbon dioxide is released.
     Approximately 1 kg of concrete releases about 900gms of carbon dioxide in to the atmosphere.
     Therefore green concrete came into existence to reduce the emission of CO2.
    Technique
     It should follow the technique of reduce-reuse-recycle.
     Reduce the green house gas emission.
     Reduce the use of natural resources such as limestone, shale, Clay.
     Use of waste materials.

    Objective:
     The main objective is sustainable development without destruction of natural resources.
    Requirements of Green Concrete
    The concrete should have the following requirements to say it as a GREEN CONCRETE
     Optimized use of available materials.
     Better performance.
     Enhanced cohesion workability/ consistency.
     Reduced shrinkage and creep.
     Durability better service life of concrete.
     Reduced carbon foot print.
     No increase in cost.
     LEED certification.
    Materials for Green Concrete
    Coarse Aggregates:

    Locally available
    Aggregate
    Blast furnace Slag

    Demolished
    recycled waste
    aggregate
    Materials for Green Concrete
    Fine Aggregates:

    Manufactured
    sand

    Recycled Glass Aggregate

    Blast furnace slag


    sand
    Cementitious material
    FLY ASH:
     Fly ash is a by-product produced during the operation of coal fired plants. The finely divided
    particles from the exhaust gases are collected in the electro static precipitators. These particles
    are called fly ash.
     Utilization of fly ash as a part replacement of cement or mineral admixture in concrete saves on
    cement and hence the emission of carbon dioxide.
    Applications of Green concrete
    Green Concrete
    Building

    Green Concrete Bridge

    Green Concrete
    Column
    Advantages
     Reduction in creep and Shrinkage.
     It uses the local and recycled materials in concrete.
     The heat of hydration of green concrete is significantly lower than the traditional concrete.
     Comprehensive strength and flexural behaviour is fairly equal to that of Concrete.
     Since these are optimized mix designs it is easier to handling.
    Scope in India
     Green concrete is a revolutionary topic in the history of INDIA.
     As green concrete is made with industrial waste it will solve the problem of waste disposal.
     And reduce the impact on Environment.
