Abstract
Nowadays environmental problems are more and more significant. The industrial area produces lots of waste materials and CO2, respectably. One of the most effective ways to solve these problems is the utilization of these waste materials. One choice of the usage of the waste materials is in the construction industry. The most common and widely used building material is concrete. Scientists and engineers are continuously working for better concrete properties from strength to durability standpoint with the help of innovative chemical admixtures and supplementary cementing materials. Waste materials are used as replacement of common aggregates or cements. The most significant and indispensable part of concrete is cement. The production process of cements from its raw material produces a lot CO2. The most effective way to decrease the CO2 emission of cement industry is the substitution of a proportion of cement with supplementary cementing materials (SCM’s). SCM’s are often used in concrete mixes to reduce cement contents, improve workability, increases strength and enhanced durability through hydraulic or pozzolanic activity. Utilization of these- usually industrial- by-products in cement/mortar/concrete not only prevents them from being land-filled but also enhances the properties of concrete in the fresh and hardened states.
