Abstract:
A major objective for the concrete construction industry is to achieve carbon neutrality over the next two to three decades. Reducing clinker contents using fillers or SCMs represents one method that can be readily implemented. One drawback that can arise with these approaches however is slow reaction at early ages that can lead to strength issues in some applications. This package will review methods to accelerate reactions, examine what we mean by w/cm, and review a case where specification review could lead to more sustainable mixtures.
