 Concreteis the mixture of

cement,sand,water and coarse


aggregates which can be poured into
formwork and form a hard structure like a
stone.
 Reinforced cement Concrete(R.C.C)
 Plain cement Concrete
 Ready-mix Concrete
 Light weight Concrete
 Fiber reinforced Concrete
 Green Concrete
 Green concrete is the revolutionary topic
in the history of concrete industry,this
was first invented in DENMARK in the
year1998.
 Green concrete is the type of concrete
which is mostly similar to conventional
concrete but the production of such
concrete requires minimum amount of
energy and causes less harm to the
environment.
A concrete that is made with the concrete
waste and uses less energy in its
production and produces less carbon
dioxide then other concrete.
 This is an eco-friendly concrete and
reduces enviromental impact.
 The main ingredient in concrete is
cement and it consists of Limestone.
 During manufacture its ingredients are
heated to about 800-10000C.
 During this process Carbon Dioxide is
driven off.
 Approximately 1kg of cement releases
about 900gms of CO2 in the atmosphere.
 Therefore green concrete came in the
existence to reduce the emission of CO2.
 Recycled Demolition Waste aggregate
 Recycled Concrete aggregates
 Blast furnace slag(BFS)
 Manufactured sand
 Glass aggregate
 Fly Ash
COARSE AGGREGATES:

Fresh local aggregate Recycled demolition aggregate

Recycled concrete material Blast furnace slag


FINE AGGREGATES:

Manufactured sand for concrete Recycled glass aggregate

Blast furnace slag Fly Ash


 Flyash is a by-produced during the
operation of coal-fired power plants.The
finely divided particles from the exhaust
gases are collected in electrostatic
precipitators.These particles are called
Fly Ash.
 Utilizationof fly ash as a part of
replacement of cement or as a mineral
admixture in concrete saves on cement
and hence the emission of CO2.
 Use of good quality fly ash in concrete
has shown remarkable improvement in
durability of concrete,especially in
aggressive environment.
 Higher ultimate strength
 Increased durability
 Improved workability
 Reduced bleeding
 Increased resistance to alkali-silica
reactivity
 Reduced shrinkage
 It is used in the construction of bridges.
 It is widely used in the building
construction.
 Used in the construction of columns.
 Can be used in road construction.
 Green concrete have better workability than
conventional concrete.
 Reduction in shrinkage and creep.
 Green concrete uses local and recycled
materials in concrete.
 Good thermal resistant and fire resistant.
 The heat of hydration of green concrete is
significantly lower than traditional concrete.
 Compressive strength is fairly equal to
conventional concrete.
 By using stainless steel,cost of
reinforcement increases.
 Structures constructed with green
concrete have comparatively less life
than structures with conventional
concrete.
 Spilt tension of green concrete is less
than conventional concrete.
 Green concrete have reduced environmental
impact with reduction of the concrete
industries CO2 emissions by 30%.
 Green concrete is having good thermal and fire
resistant.
 In this concrete recycling use of waste material
such as creamic wastes,aggregates,so
increased concrete industry’s use waste
product by 20%.
 Hence green concrete consumes less energy
and becomes economical.
