INTRODUCTION
The concrete is made with concrete wastes which is eco-friendly so called as Green concrete.

The other name for green concrete is resource saving structures with
reduced environmental impact for e.g. Energy saving ,co2 emissions, waste water. .

SINTERED FLYASH LIGHT WEIGHT AGGREGATE

FLYASH

MINING WASTES

When fly ash is added to concrete. it reduces separation increases the workability and reduces permeability. Fly ash cement has greater corrosion resistance, substantially higher fire resistance (up to 2400F) high compressive and tensile strengths, a rapid strength gain, and lower shrinkage. This translates to higher durability.

FLYASH

 Micro silica is a super pozzolan

MICROSILICA

- a finely powdered material which is added to the cementitious matter to increase durability .It has reactive silica content of over 90%. ADVANTAGES Higher compressive strength by 10-20 % Lower permeability resistance to penetration of water, chloride & other chemicals Controls bleeding in fresh concrete Lower Heat of Hydration, which prevents formation of cracks.

 Synthetic lightweight aggregate produced from environmental

waste is a viable new source of structural aggregate material.

The uses of structural grade lightweight concrete reduce

considerably the self-load of a structure and permit larger

precast units to be handled.

Water absorption of the green aggregate is large but the crushing

strength of the resulting concrete can be high.

The cement industry contributes about 5% to global CO2 emissions, making the cement industry an important sector for CO2-emission mitigation strategies.

By replacing cement with fly ash, micro silica in larger

amounts the emission is substantially reduced

(mineralized cement, limestone addition, waste-derived fuels).

SUITABILITY OF GREEN CONCRETE IN STRUCTURES

 Reduction of the concrete industry's CO2-emmision by 30 %.

Increased concrete industry's use of waste products by 20%. NO environmental pollution and sustainable development. Green concrete requires less maintenance and repairs. Green concrete having better workability than conventional

concrete. Good thermal resistant and fire resistant. Compressive strength behavior of concrete with water cement ratio is similar to conventional concrete. Flexural strength of green concrete is almost equal to that of conventional concrete.

 By using stainless steel, cost of reinforcement increases. Structures constructed with green concrete have comparatively

less life than structures with conventional concrete.

Split tension of green concrete is less than that of conventional

concrete.

 Green concrete is a revolutionary topic in the history of

concrete industry.
As green concrete is made with concrete wastes it does take

more time to come in India because industries having problem to

dispose wastes.
Also having reduced environmental impact with reduction in

CO2 emission.

 Green concrete having reduced environmental impact with

reduction of the concrete industries co2 emissions by 30%.

Green concrete is having good thermal and fire resistant.

In this concrete recycling use of waste material such as ceramic

wastes, aggregates, so increased concrete industrys use of waste products by 20% . hence green concrete consumes less energy and becomes economical.
