Researchers from RMIT University have developed a new type of “green concrete” that contains twice the amount of recycled coal ash compared to existing low-carbon concrete and requires half the amount of cement, potentially extending its lifespan beyond that of ordinary Portland cement concrete. While it is true that there are already companies that manufacture eco-friendly concrete, they only eliminate 40% of the cement, a considerable amount, but apparently not enough to eliminate the negative impact that this material still has on the environment. A team from RMIT has been collaborating with the Australian Coal Ash Association and AGL Loy … Continue reading RMIT Engineers Double Coal Ash in Concrete, 80% Less Cement, Aims to Cut Carbon Emissions
