Partial Replacement of Cement with Different Wastes - A Review

Abstract

Abstract: The production of sustainable concrete, the adoption of sustainable practices, and the exploration and utilization of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) have gained popularity worldwide. The traditional concrete practices and their environmental impact, such as greenhouse gas emissions resulting from cement production, make researchers and industries look for alternative cementitious materials. This paper reviews the SCM Bamboo leaves ash, coconut shell ash, eggshell powder, fly ash, GGBS (ground granulated blast furnace slag), paper sludge ash, waste glass powder, rice husk ash, silica fume, steel slag, sugarcane bagasse ash, water hyacinth, and wheat straw ash, their performance to improve strength and durability properties, as well as their impact on the concrete mix. The main purpose of this review paper is to study and evaluate the possibilities of cement replacement material in the production of sustainable concrete. This review article gives information about SCM and how these materials can help reduce the environmental impact of conventional concrete and promote the development of sustainable concrete and environmentally friendly construction practices.
