Can Geopolymer Concrete Replace the Conventional Concrete?—State of the Art

2018
Environmental pollution badly affects the ecosystem. Cement is the main ingredient for the production of concrete. Cement production, however, involves burning of limestone resulting in emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into the atmosphere. The release in CO2 causes global warming.

Recycled Aggregates for Concrete Production: State-of-the-Art

2016
In the last decades, problems linked to industrial material landfill disposal has become more and more relevant to society, with cost increases for environment and municipalities. Waste reutilization is attractive to reduce economical costs and potential pollution problems, and preserve natural raw resources. In this context, the promotion of recycling

Concrete Containments for Reactors—State of Art

Journal of the Structural Division, 1970
Nuclear power plants and required containments are to be so designed and constructed that the release of radioactive material in the unlikely event of a reactor accident can be controlled, and the health and safety of the public can be insured. As a result of the higher standard of safety demanded of them adn of hte lack of precedence in these ...
