Optimisation of mix design with respect to clinker content Since one of the main environmental issues associated with concrete production is CO2-emissions and the greenhouse effect, the amount of Portland clinker is of paramount importance to the environmental performance of concrete. Every concrete manufacturer is of course
optimizing his concrete mix design with respect to cement content
since this is typically the expensive constituent. Therefore, an
economical optimisation of concrete mix design very often also results
in a sustainable one. However, as it is demonstrated here
the optimisation is often governed by several other conditions as
well. © Copyright 2003 by ECOserve |
