Study on behaviour of Sustainable Construction Material and its Structural Applications
Introduction Sustainable materials are those that are durable, reusable, or recyclable. They include recyclable components and are sourced locally, from the area where building activity will occur. Additionally, these materials should be natural, such as soil, adobe, wood, cork, bamboo, straw, and sawdust . Sustainable Concrete is the concrete that incorporates environmentally responsible materials and processes throughout its production. Benefits: Reduces the carbon emissions associated with concrete by between 30-85% Easy to use and place. Suitable for use in all applications, including reinforced and unreinforced. Unchanged construction process.
