Sustainability gains through the optimization of particle packing for Danish, gap graded concretes

Research output: Contribution to conferenceConference abstract for conferenceResearch

Abstract

Globally, concrete is the most used building material and will continue to be so, due to the low price, high availability and flexible use of this material type. The price of this success is high CO2 emissions. This conference contribution investigates the potential of reducing the CO2 footprint of concrete by optimizing the grading curves of typical Danish aggregates. The focus is on the compressive strength of concrete. Additionally, different cement types were used, and basic sustainability measures were calculated.
