FUTURECEM is a patented cement technology developed by Aalborg Portland that enables reduced clinker content in concrete compared to conventional concrete. It is based on the synergistic effect of mixing limestone and calcined clay with Portland clinker, which results in higher strength than expected. The technology was developed over multiple projects from 1990-2019 and has been introduced commercially. It can reduce the CO2 footprint of concrete by up to 27% and has been used in several construction projects in Denmark. The CALLISTE project aims to further develop FUTURECEM to meet more applications and achieve higher CO2 reduction.
The document summarizes research presented at an international conference on the partial replacement of cement in geopolymer quarry rock dust concrete under different curing conditions. It includes objectives to study the effects of different fly ash and cement mixtures cured through normal, steam, and hot air oven methods. Results showed that compressive and flexural strength generally increased with higher curing temperatures and cement content. Steam curing produced the highest strengths across mixture designs. The research aims to address sustainability challenges in concrete production by exploring geopolymer alternatives.
Geopolymer concrete is an eco-friendly alternative to cement concrete that uses industrial byproducts like fly ash and slag instead of cement as the binding material. It can reduce CO2 emissions compared to traditional concrete and offers benefits like high strength, durability, and chemical resistance. The manufacturing process involves mixing fly ash and aggregates, then activating them with an alkaline solution which causes polymerization and bonding. Geopolymer concrete has been used successfully in structures like buildings, pipes, tanks and retaining walls.

Concrete performance by partially replacing cementMr. Lucky
In India, Hypo-Sludge (waste from paper industries) and Fly-Ash (waste from thermal power plants) are available in large quantity.
The management of fly ash has been troublesome in view of its disposal because of its potential of causing pollution of air and water.
The total generation of fly ash in India is about 180 million tonnes.
About 20,000 hectares of land resources can be saved annually by effectively utilisation of fly ash in India.
The document summarizes different types of specialized concretes discussed in a civil engineering seminar. It describes translucent concrete made with optical fibers, green concrete using recycled materials, geo-polymer concrete made from industrial wastes, bacterial self-healing concrete, bendable engineered cementitious composite, pervious concrete without fine aggregates, vacuum concrete where excess water is removed, and cellular lightweight concrete made with a foam agent. Each type is defined and its composition, properties, advantages, and applications are outlined.
Portland cement is the most important ingredient of concrete and is a versatile and relatively high cost material. Large scale production of cement is causing environmental problems on one hand and depletion of natural resources on other hand. This threat to ecology has led to researchers to use industrial by products as supplementary cementations material in making concrete. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the strength parameters of concrete made with partial replacement of cement by silica fume.
The geopolymer cement is formed by polymerization process which involves the reaction between an aluminosilicate source material such as fly-ash, GGBS, etc. with an alkaline activator solutions.
This document summarizes research on geopolymer concrete as an alternative to traditional Portland cement concrete. Geopolymer concrete is made through a chemical reaction of aluminosilicate materials like fly ash with an alkaline solution, forming a three dimensional polymeric chain structure. It offers benefits over Portland cement like lower CO2 emissions in production, higher strength and durability, and the ability to utilize industrial waste materials. Some potential applications highlighted include use in coastal and cold weather construction for its chloride resistance, as well as airport runways and highways due to its heat resistance.

Green concrete is a type of concrete made with materials that reduce its environmental impact. It uses waste products like fly ash as partial replacements for cement, sand, or gravel. This decreases CO2 emissions in production by up to 30% compared to traditional concrete. Green concrete also has benefits like increased strength and durability while requiring less maintenance over time. Its use can help address the problem of waste disposal from industries while providing a more sustainable building material option.
This document discusses rice husk ash based geopolymer concrete. Geopolymer concrete is an alternative to traditional cement-based concrete that uses industrial byproducts like rice husk ash instead of cement. It has lower CO2 emissions and improved properties like chemical resistance. The document outlines how rice husk ash can be used as a source material in geopolymer concrete production due to its pozzolanic properties. Experimental results show rice husk ash improves strength and corrosion resistance of geopolymer concrete. While more expensive than traditional concrete, geopolymer concrete offers sustainability benefits and rice husk ash utilization provides an outlet for a waste product.
Fly ash and slag from coal power plants and steel mills can be used to create geopolymer concrete, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional Portland cement concrete. Geopolymer concrete cures rapidly, within 24 hours, gains strength quickly, and produces less CO2 emissions than Portland cement. It is also highly resistant to chemicals, heat, and freezing. While geopolymer concrete has been used in some airport, university, and military projects, standards and guidelines need to be developed to expand its use in transportation infrastructure and other construction applications.
The reduced CO2 emissions of Geopolymer cements make them a good alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement.
Produces a substance that is comparable to or better than traditional cements with respect to most properties.
Geopolymer concrete has excellent properties within both acid and salt environments
Low-calcium fly ash-based geopolymer concrete has excellent compressive strength and is suitable for Structural applications.
High-Volume Fly Ash Concrete: According to some researchers, more than 30% fly ash by mass (equivalent as 50% by volume) of the cementitious material may be considered enough to classify the mixtures as High-Volume Fly Ash (HVFA) concrete. It is possible to produce sustainable, high performance concrete mixtures with 50% or more cement replacement by fly ash.
The document discusses light transmitting concrete (LiTraCon), which is a translucent building material made from fine concrete with optical fibers distributed throughout. LiTraCon transmits light through total internal reflection within the fibers. It has advantages like insulation, light transmission without loss, and versatility. Applications include translucent walls, ceilings, pavement markings, and decorative furniture. While more expensive than traditional concrete, LiTraCon integrates lighting and architecture in a sustainable material.
This document discusses engineered cementitious composites (ECC). It describes the procedure for designing an ECC mix based on micromechanical principles. The mix uses Portland cement, fly ash, and 2% polyvinyl alcohol fibers by volume. Experiments compared standard and non-standard ECC mixes using different aggregates. The non-standard mix using lumajang sand had slightly lower density and tensile strength than the standard mix using silica sand. Both ECC mixes exhibited strain hardening behavior and tensile strengths over 3% strain, indicating ECC is more ductile than conventional concrete.

This document discusses optimizing the design of road bridges to minimize environmental impact and cost. It proposes an automated design and optimization procedure that covers gaps between theoretical studies and practical application. The procedure is demonstrated for optimizing three bridge types: (1) reinforced concrete beam bridges, (2) reinforced concrete overhang bridge slabs, and (3) composite bridge decks. For each application, the procedure determines optimal structural configurations and cross-sectional dimensions to minimize investment cost and environmental impact from materials. Case studies show the optimized solutions reduce costs by 4-13% compared to traditional designs while remaining constructible. Recommendations include using more durable materials like GFRP reinforcement and minimizing reinforcement.
This document summarizes research on using 3D concrete printing to create mesostructures (structures between 10-2 to 100 m in scale) with varying density, porosity, and surface articulation. Three print patterns (A, B, C) were generated and tested. Pattern C had the lowest bulk density (1250 kg/m3) and filled the same volume with the least amount of material. While Pattern C withstood the lowest compressive load, it performed best in terms of compressive strength when accounting for its smaller cross-sectional area. Overall, the structural performance of the printed mesostructures was found to be less than half of conventionally cast concrete specimens.
D3 (A7) Oskar Linderoth - Two methods to measure sorption isotherms of cement...Svenska Betongföreningen
This document compares two methods for measuring sorption isotherms of cement-based materials: the sorption balance method and the desiccator method. The sorption balance method uses small samples (60-80 mg) and measures mass continuously during short exposure times to different relative humidity levels. The desiccator method uses larger samples (80-100 g) placed in sealed containers with saturated salt solutions and measures mass less frequently over longer exposure times (months) until equilibrium is reached. Results from the two methods on mortar samples showed differences, possibly because the sorption balance method relies on curve fitting and extrapolation that may underestimate equilibrium mass due to non-Fickian sorption behavior over long exposure times.
D2 (B4) Wolfgang Kunther - Short term chloride binding and biofouling.pdfSvenska Betongföreningen
This document summarizes research on the short-term chloride binding, biofouling, and microstructural changes of different cementitious binders exposed to the Øresund strait environment. Three binders were tested: 100% Portland cement (CEM I-100), a calcined clay and limestone blend similar to CEM II/B (CEM II/B-65), and a blend with higher clay replacement outside of CEM II/B standards (CEM II/C-56). After 28 days of exposure, the CEM I binder had more diatom growth and gastropod grazing compared to the CEM II blends. The CEM II blends showed lower chloride ingress
This document summarizes research on using bauxite residue (BR), a waste product from aluminum production, as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in concrete. BR has a high alkali content that limits its reactivity and can cause issues like alkali-silica reaction. The researchers investigated treating BR with acetic acid to reduce its alkali content by around 90%. Tests showed the alkali-reduced BR (AR-BR) had similar pozzolanic activity and strength performance in mortars as untreated BR when used to replace 20% of cement. The AR-BR treatment could potentially be integrated into aluminum production lines to both utilize BR waste and improve waste management for the industry.
This document discusses freezing point depression in concrete pores due to deicing salts. It presents results from experiments using low temperature differential scanning calorimetry to measure the freezing and melting points of water in Vycor glass pores and hardened cement paste pores with varying NaCl concentrations. The results show that the freezing/melting point depression from surface forces and dissolved ions in pores add together according to thermodynamic predictions, except for freezing in gel pores of hardened cement paste. The document concludes that surface forces and dissolved ions both contribute to lowering the freezing point during salt frost attack in concrete.
D1 (B2) Jan Suchorzewski - Combined carbonation-frost resistance of sustainab...Svenska Betongföreningen
The document summarizes research on developing sustainable high-performance concrete with very high slag content for use in wave energy converter hulls. Testing showed that concrete mixes with cement contents as low as 100 kg/m3 and slag replacements over 50% achieved compressive strengths over 100 MPa and frost resistance classified as "very good" even after carbonation. However, one mix (HPC200) showed increased frost scaling after carbonation, requiring further testing. Microscopy revealed microcracking in the carbonated layer for this mix. Overall, the research demonstrates that high-slag concrete can perform well in Nordic climates if evaluated using combined carbonation and frost testing.
