THE DEVELOPMENT OF ‘ECO-FRIENDLY’ CONCRETE USING SILICA FUME WITH HIGH ECONOMIC VALUES

The world’s yearly cement production of 2 billion tons emits about 7% of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Producing a ton of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) produces a ton of CO2. In concrete production, OPC should not only be considered as the main high strength contributor. Aggregate gradi...

The research was conducted using the Trial Laboratory Test method. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyses were conducted to analyze the chemical compositions of OPC and SF.
