CONCRETE :
Concret is a mixture of coarse aggregate,
water and fineaggregate With mixed
proportions which can be poured in to
formwork And form a hard structure like a
stone
TYPE OF CONCRETE
 Reinforced cement concrete (RCC)
 Plain cement concrete
 Ready –mix concrete
 Light weight concrete
 Fiber reinforced concrete
 Green concrete
GREEN CONCRETE
INTRODUCTION
  Green concrete is an revolutionary topic in
the history of concrete industry , This was
first investmentedin Denmark in year 1998.
  Green concrete is a type of concrete which
like the conversationa concrete but a
production of such concrete requires
minimum amount of Environment Energy and
causes less harmful to environmen
  Green concrete has nothing to do with
colour
GREEN CONCRETE :
 Green concrete is an environmentally
friendly concrete.
 Concrete that made with concrete Waste
and uses less in energy in its production and
produced less carbondioxide than normal
concrete is green concrete.
NEED OF GREEN CONCRETE
 The main ingredient in concrete is cement
and it consists of lime stone.
 During manufacturing of cement its
Ingredients are heated to about 800c -10000c
 During this process carbon dioxide is
released.
 Approximately 1kg of concrete release about
900gms of carbondioxide into the
atmosphere.
 Therefore green concrete came in to
existence to reduce the emission of carbon
dioxide.
WHERE DOES THE
CARBONDIOXIDE COME FROM
IN CONCRETE?
 Cement :
Most of CO² in concrete is from the cement
manufacturing processes a typical cubic meter of
concrete contains about 10% cement by weight .

The reaction in this process of cement manufacture is

CaCO³ = CaO+CO²
TECHNIQUE :
It should follow 3R’s Technique .
1. Reduce
2. Reuse
3. Recycle
 Reduce the green house gas emissions .
 Reduce the use of natural resources such as lime stone,
Shale, clay and natural river sand.
 Use of waste materials.
Objective
The main objective is sustainable development with out REBUILD
destruction of natural resources.

RECYCLE

REUSE
FUTURE OF GREEN CONCRETE
The concrete which fall in the category of
green must have the following characteristics.

 Optimizes use of available materials.

 Better performance.
 Enhanced cohesion workability / consistency.
 Reduce shrinkage/ creep.
 Durability – better service life of concrete.
 Reduce carbon footprint.
 No increase in cost.
 LEED India certification .
MATERIALS OF GREEN
CONCRETE :
Green concrete mix is designed with the Principle
of “ Particle – packing optimization “to meet
requirements of plastic and hardened properties

 Recycled Demolition waste aggregate.

 Recycled concrete aggregate.
 Blast furnace slag ( BFS).
 Manufactured sand.
 Glass aggregate.
 Fly ash.
Coarse Aggregates are:

Freshly local Aggregate Recycled Concrete Material (RC

Recycled Demolition waste Blast Furnace Slag (BFS)

Aggregat
Fine Aggregate are:

Manufactured sand Blast Furnace Slag

Fly Ash Recycled Glass Aggregate

CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS:
Fly ash is a by product during the operation of coal
fired plants. The finely divided particles from the
exhaust gases are collected in the electro static
precipitators. These particles are called Fly Ash.

Utilization of Fly Ash as

a part replacement of
cement or mineral
admixture in concrete
saves on cement and
hence the emission of
Carbon dioxide.
ADVANTAGES OF FLYASH :
 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
 Reduced shrinkage
 Increased resistance to alkali-silica reactivity
SUITABILITY OF GREEN
CONCRETE IN STRUCTURE :
Several factors which enhances the suitability of Green
Concrete in structures include:

1. Reduce the dead weight of a structure

2. Good thermal and fire resistance sound insulation than the
traditional granite rock
3. Reduce of concrete industry's carbon dioxide emission by
30%
4. Increased concrete industry's use of waste products by 20%
5. Green Concrete requires less maintenance and repairs
 ADVANTAGES :
 Reduction in creep and shrinkage
 It uses the local and recycled materials in concrete
 The heat of hydration of green concrete is significantly
lower than the traditional concrete
 Compressive strength and flexural behavior is fairly equal
to that of conventional concrete
 Since these are optimized mix designs it is easier to
handling
 Concrete gives good strength to the structure
 It is good fire resistant
 It helps in reducing the consumption of cement overall
 Use of fly ash the concrete also increase its workability and
durability
 Optimized mix design, easier handling, better consistency
and easier finishing
APPLICATION OF GREEN
CONCRETE :

Green concrete columns Green concrete bridge

Green concrete dam Green concrete building

SCOPE IN INDIA :
Green concrete is a revolutionary topic in the History of
concrete industry.

As Green Concrete is made with concrete waste it

does take more time to come in India because of Industries
having problem to dispose wastes and It also reduces
environmental impact with reduction in co2 emission.

Use of Green Concrete can help us reduce

Various non-biodegradable products can also be used and
thus avoiding the issues of their disposal.
CONCLUSION :
 Although there are some defects of
green technology, everything done
should have both positive and negative
impacts.
 Global warming and energy crisis cannot
be solved with one or two years
 It really requires our determination and
continue effort in improving the
situation
 Green technology will definitely be
solution that gets the potential in
helping us to solve those problems and
improve our environment
