Sustainable Concrete Technology
Abstract: The growing concern
over global warming and significant ecological changes requires sustainable
development in all fields of science and technology. Concrete not only consumes
huge amount of energy and natural sources, but also emits large amount of CO2,
mainly due to the production of cement. It is evident that such large amount of
concrete production has put significant impact on the energy, resource,
environment, and ecology of the society. Hence, how to develop the concrete
technology in a sustainable way has become a significant issue. In this paper,
some of Korean researches for sustainable development of concrete are
presented. These are sustainable strengthening for deteriorated concrete
structure, sustainable reinforcement of new concrete structure, sustainable
concrete using recycled aggregate and supplementary cementing materials and
finally application of each technique to precast concrete.
