Clean production and properties of geopolymer concrete; A review
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of GeoPC material, its constituents, production techniques, curing regimes, properties and its potential applications in the construction industry is presented in this paper, where the authors also present a comprehensive analysis of the potential applications of the material.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of waste products utilized as supplements to Portland cement in concrete
TL;DR: The authors summarizes the current state of practice with regard to the use of waste products as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) in portland cement concrete (PCC) and provides a summary of the comparatively sparse information on underutilized waste materials such as: sugarcane bagasse ash, rice husk ash, waste wood biomass ash, and waste glass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon dioxide reduction potential in the global cement industry by 2050
TL;DR: In this article, the role of material-based solutions to reducing CO 2 emissions from cement production considering factors that could influence implementation is examined, and it is shown that the 2°C scenario targets for 2050 can be met through increased use of calcined clay and engineered filler with dispersants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Readily implementable techniques can cut annual CO 2 emissions from the production of concrete by over 20
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the extent to which the increased use of several currently implemented methods can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in concrete material production without requiring new technologies, changes in production, or novel material use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of booming concrete production on water resources worldwide
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify water use of global concrete production in 2012 and project the value to 2050 and develop a baseline estimate for water consumption and withdrawal for concrete production and identify locations for targeted mitigation.

Green house gas emissions due to concrete manufacture
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the results of a research project aimed to quantify the CO2 emissions associated with the manufacture and placement of concrete, which was based on typical concrete manufacturing and placement methods in Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of mineral admixtures on the rheology of cement paste and concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, rheological tests on cement paste were used to successfully select the type and dosage of mineral admixtures that improved concrete workability, and the conclusion reached based on the cement paste tests were validated by concrete slump tests.
