Description
Summary:Research and development of alternative cementitious materials as well as supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) become mandatory for construction industry to manage global warming as well as energy scarcity due to huge energy consumptions and greenhouse gas emissions entailed by the conventional cement technology. Researchers are trying to replace Portland cement (PC) with SCMs and low-temperature cementitious materials such as special cements and geopolymeric binders. Besides using alternative cements and SCMs instead of pure Portland cement, their composites with other inorganic materials can work as smart building materials and work for environmental aspects. The tenth paper investigated an impact of glass waste aggregate contents on mechanical properties of concrete, especially fracture parameters, aiming to promote waste utilization for construction industry.
