·impacts of cement and concrete production on the environment is growing significance due to their widespread availability in the global market [20] A cement factory releases a lot of contaminants into the atmosphere Additionally a rise in the output of production or modification in fuel type fuel
·Realization on the damaging impact of cement industry on the environment and mankind efforts has been continuously taken to reduce the pollution caused by the industrial activity According to Jadoon et al [44] the dust emission pathways can be reduced by repeated spraying of water oil or other soil stabilization materials
·Permeable concrete pavements PCPs have been increasingly used as a low impact development LID tool which helps to manage the impacts of infrastructure construction and operations on the natural environment Scholz and Grabowiecki 2007; Bruinsma et al 2017; Rodríguez Rojas et al 2018 As a green infrastructure solution
·The rapid expansion of urbanization and construction activities has led to a significant increase in cement production worldwide resulting in a surge in cement waste generation This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the repercussions of cement waste on soil fertility and crop productivity emphasizing its critical implications for
·Concrete sustainability is mostly associated with the embodied carbon of its constituent materials such as the binder aggregate admixtures etc However the sustainability of concrete encompasses the materials the production process and its performance including its corresponding impact on the environment society and economics
·The first directions of research on lowering the impact of concrete on the environment were related to concrete mixtures Alternative concrete mixes have been developed by introducing supplementary cementitious materials and recycled aggregates RA In conventional concrete technology an increase of the mechanical strength of
·Figure 1 Left side shows process of concrete making and right side shows GHG emissions from concrete of which 90% are from cement and 10% from aggregates and other inputs as well as quarrying
·However the impact of concrete on the environment is a subject of increasing concern among scientists environmentalists and policymakers alike In this blog we investigate the environmental impacts of concrete and construction and explore the innovative and sustainable construction practices being embraced by the construction
·Reducing the detrimental impact of human activities on our environment is an essential need Buildings have a significant role in accomplishing this need which necessitates the conduction of comprehensive research that adequately identifies the underlying factors and then seeks sustainable solutions
·However concrete which primarily consists of cement water and aggregates is associated with several negative impacts on the environment Cement production is material and energy intensive and produces a large amount of greenhouse gases In addition the extraction of aggregates contributes to the depletion of raw
