Production of Portland cement is responsible for about seven
percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. The pressure to
make the production of concrete more sustainable, or "greener", is
considerable and increasing. This requires a wholesale shift in
processes, materials and methods in the concrete industry. Pure
Portland cement will need to be replaced by more complex binary,
tertiary or even quaternary binders, including other types of
cementitious materials. We can expect an increasing use of high
performance concrete, primarily because of its high sustainability
and durability. Much more attention will have to be paid to the
proper curing of the concrete if we want to improve its life
expectancy. Presenting the latest advances in the science of
concrete this book focuses particularly on sustainability,
durability, and economy. It explores the potential for increased
sustainability in concrete from the initial mixing right through to
its behaviour in complex structures exposed to different types of
loads and aggressive environments.
