Green concrete is an eco-friendly building material made with waste products that reduces environmental impact through lower CO2 emissions. It provides benefits like greater strength and durability than normal concrete, as well as cost savings and sustainable development. Some applications of green concrete include buildings, dams, bridges and platforms. While it may have higher reinforcement costs and less lifetime than conventional concrete, green concrete is growing in use in India as industries look to reduce waste.

* ADVANTAGES
* APPLICATION OF GREEN CONCRETE
* LIMITATIONS
* SCOPE IN INDIA
* CONCLUSION

3. Green Concrete as the name suggests is eco
friendly and saves the environment by using
waste products

4. * Resource efficiency
* Indoor air quality

5. * Recycled Content
* Locally available
* Recycled or recyclable product
packaging
* Durable

7. •Reduce crane age load
•lifting flexibility with lighter weight
•Good thermal and fire resistance
•Improve damping resistance of building

8. a) Reduced CO2 emissions.
b) Low production costs as wastes directly substitute the
cement.
c) Saves energy, emissions and waste water.
d) Helps in recycling industry wastes.
e) Reduces the consumption of cement overall.
f) Better workability.
g) Sustainable development.
h) Greater strength and durability than normal concrete.
i) Compressive strength and Flexural behaviour is fairly equal
to that of the conventional concrete.

9. •Green concrete building
• Green concrete dam
•Green concrete bridge
• Green concrete platform

10. * 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.
