This paper assesses environmental loads of concretes made with Portland blended cements
containing different proportions of ground granulated blast furnace slag (ggbs) as clinker …

With the current focus on sustainability, it is necessary to evaluate concrete's environmental
impact properly, especially when developing new 'green'concrete types. Therefore, we …

The use of supplementary cementitious materials (eg fly ash and ground granulated blast
furnace slag) as a partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in blended cement …

Purpose The concrete industry faces challenges to create concrete mix designs that reduce
negative environmental impacts but also maintain high performance. This has led to …

Abstract In comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of concrete structures it is of crucial
importance to provide the functional equivalence of compared alternatives. Most commonly …

Abstract Substitution of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) with supplementary cementitious
materials (SCMs), such as fly ash and slag, can reduce energy consumption, thus a …

Ten comparative life cycle assessments of reinforced concrete slab life cycle were
performed. Analysed slab was from a typical floor structure of residential buildings and made …

Life cycle assessment (LCA) provides a comprehensive framework for positioning low
energy and global warming potential alternatives regarding Portland cement and concrete …

Purpose Blended cements use waste products to replace Portland cement, the main
contributor to CO 2 emissions in concrete manufacture. Using blended cements reduces the …

Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) is one of basic steps in life cycle assessment
methodology (LCA). This paper presents a comparative study of the LCIA of different life …
