The sheer volume of construction activities has placed significant stress on the construction market especially for the raw materials. This increase in the construction activities have resulted in the depletion of natural resources of virgin materials and emitting huge quantities of greenhouse gases, which, in turn, had huge impact on environmental sustainability. Since concrete dominates infrastructure and building construction, cement and aggregate supply is a big concern.

 

On the other hand, a vast amount of construction, demolition and excavation wastes, fillers, powders, etc. have been generated during the demolition of concrete structures and other processes. Disposal of these wastes also has a huge impact on the environment.

 

Because of all these factors, environmental sustainability and economy is becoming an increasingly important part of construction.

 

The Green Sense Concrete concept is an environmentally-friendly, cost-effective concrete with optimized proportions program in which supplementary cementitious materials, non-cementitious fillers and recycled materials are used with tailor-made chemical admixtures to meet or exceed performance targets.

 

The positive impact of using Green Sense Concrete concept on sustainability criteria quantified the economic and ecological impact of Green Sense Concrete mixes by certified eco-efficiency analysis report combines a life cycle assessment with life cycle costs.

1-) Green Sense Concrete – Innovation in concrete

 

By utilizing supplementary cementitious and non-cementitious materials, combined with carefully engineered chemical admixtures, Green Sense Concrete capitalizes on usable by-products typically characterized as waste.

 

The result is a concrete that has the strength, durability and operational benefits needed to keep customers satisfied, as well as the economic and environmental benefits needed to remain competitive. Green Sense Concrete is a way to lower the ecological impact of concrete without sacrificing performance.

 

Green Sense Concrete technology with a customized, interactive Eco-Efficiency Analysis program have been developed to measure ecological and economic benefits of concrete and create added value for construction industry. Eco-Efficiency Analysis is a cradle-to-gate examination of Green Sense Concrete beginning with the extraction of raw materials through the production of concrete.
