Looking for a way to improve the quality of concrete, increase strengths, enhance workability, upgrade pumpability, and make a sustainable product even greener? Think slag. Slag cement, a ...

Heidelberg Materials North America has moved towards sustainability by turning one of its cement plants into a slag grinding facility. Slag is often disregarded as a waste product from metals during ...

Researchers have shown how a by-product of steel making can be used to both treat wastewater and make stronger concrete, in a zero-waste approach to help advance the circular economy. Produced during ...

Australian scientists are trying to close the loop on steel waste and sewage wastewater. When they made new concrete using these waste materials, the results were 17 percent stronger than concrete ...

Professor Vikram Gandhi’s Immersive Field Course (IFC) “Development while Decarbonizing: India’s Path to Net-Zero" delved into the critical aspect of decarbonization and sustainability goals amid ...

Cement is a vital building material but it also makes a significant contribution to global carbon dioxide emissions. Sabbie Miller is researching ways to make cement and concrete more sustainable.

When they replaced 20-40% of the slag with dehydrated sludge in a cement mixture, they found that the resultant material had over a 50% higher compressive strength than cements using only GGBS as an ...

Researchers examined whether steel slag that had been used to treat wastewater could then be recycled as an aggregate material for concrete. Their findings? Concrete made with post-treatment steel ...
