High-Volume Mineral Admixtures in Cementitious Binders: Towards Carbon-Neutral Construction

High-Volume Mineral Admixtures in Cementitious Binders: Towards Carbon-Neutral Construction delivers an overview of the broad applications of high-volume supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in cementitious binders, addressing the most promising ways to use them to reduce carbon emissions in the construction and building industry. This book focuses on the applications and scientific challenges of high-volume SCMs blends, elaborating on the possibilities as well as offering original perspectives on using different kinds of blended cements in the manufacturing process. Emphasis is placed on activity estimation and quality assessment, the properties of high-volume SCM-blends at both the fresh and hardened stages, self-hydraulic properties, and potential use as the sole binder, as well as associated environmental impacts and carbon footprint reduction. Presents the macro-/microproperties of high-volume (SCMs) cements.Introduces the state of the art in the use of high-volume SCM cements.Discusses the associated environmental impacts and the contribution to carbon neutrality by using high-volume SCMs.Associated with the disposal of man-made waste in the production of building materials.Discusses the advantages of using waste materials in cement production which reduce environmental impacts and contribute to sustainable development.
