Description
Summary:Sustainability issues have been a major concern in the construction field, owing to the overexploration of natural raw material sources. The high demand of natural materials is traceble to increasing urbanization and industrialization. Various landmark research achievement has been made in the production of self-compacting concrete in recent years. The focus has been on the use of wastes emanating from agricultural, construction, and industrial activities. However, finding a workable framework for the use of the alternative materials is still an issue. This study presented procedures for cleaner production of self-compacting concrete with selected industrial rejects. The use of waste materials (supplementary cementitious materials (S.C.M.) and recycled materials) were explored. The materials, according to research trend, were either utilized as a partial or total replacement of conventional materials. From the available data, the study found that industrial by-products demonstrated potential to serve as an alternative material in production of self-compacting concrete. It is shown from the study that greener, and sustainable S.C.C. with enhanced properties could be achieved by using industry rejects. The presented procedures will serve as a guide for industrial application of the materials, and also foster economic benefits to the construction sector.
