Apr 03, 2006 Mr. Burde makes a good point about the need to address the environmental burdens of cement manufacturing, of which there are many (see EBN Vol. 2, No. 2 ). What appeals to us about the use of polished concrete as a finished floor surface, however, is that in most applications a structural concrete floor slab is needed anyway—and may already ...

Jun 01, 2014 Concrete is responsible for a huge proportion of global carbon dioxide emissions. A few companies want to reverse this cycle by sequestering carbon in building materials. The University of Queensland Global Change Institute in Brisbane, Australia, used low-carbon geopolymer concrete rather than portland cement concrete.

Benefits of concrete. Cement is the key ingredient that binds concrete together. While the production of cement is an energy-intensive part of making concrete, it actually constitutes only about 10% of concrete’s volume, with the rest being aggregates like gravel, sand or suitable recycled materials.

Nov 20, 2012 Traditional concrete is environmentally costly, primarily due to its binding material, Portland Ordinary Cement (POC). Life cycle analyses (LCA) show that one tonne of cement produces one tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2). Producing concrete is also water-intensive, with water making up about 20 per cent of a concrete mix.
