Abstract:
Efforts to optimize current materials and processes, and to develop new cementitious materials and technologies that can meet specific reduction criteria are underway in industry, government, and academia. Validating claims of reduced embodied carbon relies on demonstrating, quantitatively and accurately with known uncertainty, that a material or process meets these criteria.
