How to Make Concrete More Sustainable Harald Justnes1
Journal of Advanced Concrete Technology Vol. 13, 147-154, March 2015 / Copyright © 2015 Japan Concrete Institute 147 Scientific paper How to Make Concrete More Sustainable Harald Justnes1 A selected paper of ICCS13, Tokyo 2013. Received 12 November 2013, accepted 16 February 2015 doi:10.3151/jact.13.147 Abstract Production of cement is ranking 3rd in causes of man-made carbon dioxide emissions world-wide. Thus, in order to make concrete more sustainable one may work along one or more of the following routes; 1) Replacing cement in con- crete with larger amounts of supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) than usual, 2) Replacing cement in concrete with combinations of SCMs leading to synergic reactions enhancing strength, 3) Producing leaner concrete with less cement per cubic meter utilizing plasticizers and 4) Making concrete with local aggregate susceptible to alkali silica reaction (ASR) by using cement replacements, thus avoiding long transport of non-reactive aggregate. 1 Introduction SCMs, also uncommon ones like calcined marl 2.

Student, Department of Civil Engineering, Kongu Engineering College, Perundurai, Erode, India1 Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Kongu Engineering College, Perundurai, Erode, India2 ABSTRACT:The replacement of cement by various mineral admixtures as supplementary cementing materials for concrete has gained a global attention in recent years. This replacement becomes efficient not only by increasing the strength and durability of the concrete but also reduces the usage of the ordinary cement thereby curtailing the environmental hazardous due to cement manufacturing industries. This paper reviews the work carried out on the use of silica fume (SF) and Metakaolin (MK) as supplementary cementing materials as a partial replacement for cement. The literature demonstrates that both SF and MK are effective and causes significant improvement in various properties of the concrete in both fresh and harden state. KEYWORDS: Metakaolin, Silica Fume, Compressive Strength, Durability Properties. I.INTRODUCTION Major of the construction company relies on the concrete. Cement is major constituent of concrete. The annual global production of ordinary portland cement is about 3 Gt. Cement becomes a dominant binder due to its versatility, durability, and its demand increases dramatically. Even though it is a vital material, it production directly affects the environment by releasing 0.87t of carbon dioxide for every tonne of cement produced. -

Recovery of Waste Expanded Polystyrene in Lightweight Concrete Production
73 The Mining-Geology-Petroleum Engineering Bulletin Recovery of waste expanded polystyrene UDC: 624.01 in lightweight concrete production DOI: 10.17794/rgn.2019.3.8 Original scientifi c paper Gordan Bedeković1; Ivana Grčić2; Aleksandra Anić Vučinić2; Vitomir Premur2 1University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering, Pierottijeva 6, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia 2University of Zagreb, Faculty of Geotechnical Engineering, Hallerova 7, 42000 Varaždin, Croatia Abstract Polystyrene concrete, as a type of lightweight aggregate concrete, has been used in civil construction for years. The use of waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) as a fi ll material in lightweight concrete production is highly recommended from the point of view of the circular economy. Published data shows that an increase in the proportion of lightweight aggre- gates, i.e. EPS, results in a decrease in strength, bulk density and thermal conductivity of the concrete. Utilizing large quantities of waste EPS in non-structural polystyrene concrete production is particularly important. Unlike structural polystyrene concrete, according to the published papers, non-structural polystyrene concrete has not been investigated suffi ciently. The purpose of this paper is to determine the infl uence of the ratios of the basic components in a concrete mixture on the bulk density and compressive strength of non-structural polystyrene concrete produced by utilizing waste EPS as a fi ll material. The test specimens, i.e. cubes with an edge length of 100 mm each, were prepared in labora- tory conditions by varying the proportions of EPS, sand up to 600 g and cement ranging from 300 g to 450 g per speci- men. -

ANNUAL REPORT 2016 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Pictured on the Front Cover (Top to Bottom)
ANNUAL REPORT 2016 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Pictured on the front cover (top to bottom): Professor Craig Simmons is the Scientific Director of the Translational Biology and Engineering Program (TBEP). TBEP is the University of Toronto’s component of the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research (TRCHR) and brings together faculty members and their students from U of T Dentistry, Engineering and Medicine. Together, these researchers are advancing heart research, diagnostics, and regeneration using a comprehensive approach that includes systems and developmental biology, technology innovation and clinical translation. On May 13, 2016 more than 1,400 students and teachers from across the Greater Toronto Area converged on U of T Engineering for Innovate U. The one-day workshop was Canada’s largest science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) event for children in Grades 3 to 8. Innovate U was run in partnership with Google Canada and Actua, a national STEM charity. Two students from U of T Engineering work on the Formula SAE racing car. Students can choose from more than 90 engineering clubs and teams, from design and competition groups such as the Human-Powered Vehicle Team to cultural and arts groups such as Skule™ Orchestra, as well as national organizations such as Engineers Without Borders. Currently under construction, the Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CEIE) will set a new standard for engineering education and research. When the CEIE opens in 2017, it will provide a new home for some of our world-leading institutes, such as the Centre for Global Engineering and the Institute for Sustainable Energy. Its design/meet rooms and fabrication facilities will enable students, faculty and industry partners to collaborate across disciplines on complex global challenges and launch new companies to bring their innovations to market.
