TLDR
In this article, the authors describe a sustainable concrete capable for sustainable construction is characterized by application of industrial wastes to reduce consumption of natural resources and energy and pollution of the environment.Abstract:
There are many choices in regard to selection of ma terials in any type of constructions. Due to growin g interest in sustainable construction, engineers and architects are motivate d to choose the materials which are more sustainabl e. Green concrete capable for sustainable construction is characterized by applic ation of industrial wastes to reduce consumption of natural resources and energy and pollution of the environment. Replacement of ma terials over nominal concrete is what makes green cmore environmental friendly concrete. Marble sludge powder, quarry roc ks, crushed concrete and fly ashes are some of the materials used for making green concrete, a sustainable construction.read more

Application of foundry by-product materials in manufacture of concrete and masonry products
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the performance of foundry slag by-products in concrete and masonry products and found that foundry sand can be used as a partial replacement of fine aggregate for making masonry blocks and paving stones.
Environmental impact of green concrete in practice
TL;DR: In this article, the authors give an overview of the present state of green concrete that have reduced environmental impact and emphasize that green concrete embodies low energy costs, lower green house gas emission and low maintenance cost leading to sustainable construction materials.
