Spent coffee grounds as a multifunctional modifier for vegetation concrete: Coupled regulation of water retention, alkalinity and plant growth compatibility

Developments in the Built Environment
Spent coffee grounds (SCG) were investigated as a bio-based modifier for no-fines vegetation concrete, where high pore connectivity is needed for water infiltration and root penetration but can also cause rapid drainage, poor water retention and an ...
