    Abstract : Concrete is the most used building material. With the increasing growth of industries and urbanization globally; the demand for concrete is increasing significantly. Ordinary Portland Cement (PC) is the binder used to produce typical concrete. Unfortunately, for every ton of manufactured cement about 0. READ MORE

  4. 2. Influence of solid solutions on the properties of some apatite-type calcium salts relevant to the production of phosphate and silicate cements

    Abstract : Concrete is the second most used material in the world just after water. A drawback is that it is mostly based on Portland cement, which has an extremely high carbon footprint reaching a staggering 900 kg/tonne. The carbon dioxide emissions related to the production of the Portland cement accounts for nearly 8 % of the global total. READ MORE

  6. 4. Stimulated autogenous self-healing of mechanically and thermally cracked cementitious materials

    Abstract : It is estimated that each year, approximately 8 billion cubic meters of concrete are produced worldwide, a vast number comparable to 1 m3 per person, making the construction industry a major contributor to overall global CO2 emissions. Throughout the manufacturing process of the most common cement binder, ordinary Portland cement (OPC), CO2 emissions reach 842 kg per ton of clinker produced. READ MORE
