An Exploration on Green Concrete using Industrial Waste Material

Abstract

The word green is not just limited to colour, nowadays it represents the environment, which is surrounding
us. Green concrete is a definite mixture of cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate along with waste concrete (like slag,
power plant wastes, recycled concrete, mining and quarrying wastes, waste glass, incinerator residue, red mud, burnt
clay, sawdust, combustor ash and foundry sand) or waste material (which harms the environment). It is an approach to
presents the study and analysis of green concrete using industrial waste material. The industrial waste like Marble
Powder, Marble Chips, and Quarry dust are taken into account. A detailed literature review has been done which is
based on analysis from the decomposition of industrial waste materials problem. The main objective of green concrete is
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions such as co2 that generate from the production of cement. The other goal of green
concrete is to reduce the use of a natural resource such as limestone, clay, natural river sand and natural rock. By using
concrete deposition of waste material will be reduced. We can provide sustainable development in the construction
industries by taking cognizance of Green Concrete.
