Evaluation of compressive strength of adhesives partially modified Portland cement with low environmental impact binder

Abstract

The construction industry is a significant contributor to environmental degradation due to the extensive use of Portland cement, which is energy-intensive to produce and generates a substantial amount of carbon dioxide emissions. In recent years, there has been a growing concern to reduce the environmental impact of construction materials and processes. As a response to this concern, researchers and engineers have been exploring alternative binders and supplementary cementitious materials to partially replace Portland cement. One such alternative is the use of low environmental impact agglomerants, which offer the potential to mitigate the environmental footprint of construction materials. This study focuses on the evaluation of the compressive strength of pastes produced by partially replacing Portland cement with a low environmental impact agglomerant. The objective is to assess the feasibility of using these alternative materials for construction applications, considering both their environmental benefits and their mechanical performance.
