Abstract - The construction industry is increasingly
natural aggregates in concrete production. This extensive review paper delves into the intricate domain of sustainable concrete development, highlighting the prominent role of incorporating significant amounts of industrial by-products as an environmentally-conscious solution.
pressured to implement sustainable practices and lessen its environmental footprint. A crucial element of this initiative is re-evaluating the use of industrial waste materials, such as copper slag, steel slag, and iron slag, as substitutes for natural aggregates in concrete production. This comprehensive review paper delves into the intricate realm of sustainable concrete development, where the incorporation of substantial volumes of industrial waste materials has emerged as a prominent and environmentally-conscious solution. Within this context, the paper meticulously explores the properties of sustainable concrete, with a specific emphasis on employing waste materials to substitute for either fine or coarse natural aggregates. It delves deeply into the essential characteristics of these waste materials, rigorously assessing their appropriateness for concrete applications and their environmental impact.
The paper meticulously examines the properties of sustainable concrete, focusing specifically on the use of waste materials to replace fine or coarse natural aggregates. It thoroughly assesses the essential characteristics of these byproducts, evaluating their suitability for concrete applications and their environmental implications. Additionally, the paper conducts a comprehensive performance analysis of such sustainable concrete, scrutinizing factors such as compressive strength, flexural strength, durability, and resistance to various environmental stressors. By analysing the environmental benefits and conducting a life cycle assessment, this review paper elucidates the overarching advantages of sustainable concrete development incorporating a high proportion of industrial by-products. In conclusion, this review compiles insights from various sources, highlighting the crucial role these by-products can play in promoting sustainable concrete practices and reducing the construction industry's environmental footprint. It acts as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and professionals dedicated to supporting and implementing sustainable construction methodologies.
Furthermore, the paper conducts a thorough performance evaluation of such sustainable concrete, scrutinizing aspects like compressive strength, flexural strength, durability, and resistance to various environmental factors. By considering the environmental benefits and performing a life cycle assessment, this review paper elucidates the overarching advantages of sustainable concrete development that incorporates a high content of industrial waste materials. In conclusion, this review consolidates findings from extensive literature, emphasizing the crucial role industrial waste materials can play in promoting sustainable concrete and reducing the construction industry's environmental footprint. It serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners dedicated to advancing and implementing sustainable construction practices.
In steel production, the generation of solid waste and carbon dioxide emissions is substantial, with around 1 ton of solid waste and 1.85 tons of carbon dioxide emitted per metric ton of steel produced (Association, 2021). In 2020, global crude steel production reached 1.878 billion tons, with the United States contributing 72.7 million tons, making it the fourth-largest producer worldwide (Association, 2021). Similarly, ferronickel production significantly contributes to carbon dioxide emissions, producing approximately 12 tons of carbon dioxide per ton of ferronickel (Ma et al., 2019).
