Green Cementitious Materials
The most important of those
materials:
1. Ground Granulated
Blast Slag (GGBS)
2. Fly Ash (FA)
3. Silica Fume (SF)
4. Fiber Glass (FGL)

Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS),
also called Slag Cement, is a by-product of steel industry.
It is commonly used as a partial substitute for Portland cement
at a replacement level of up to 80%.
Fly ash is a by-product of the burning of coal in electric power generating plants.
It is commonly used as a partial substitute for
25 to 55% of the Portland cement in concrete.

Silica fume is a by-product from the electric furnace used in the
production of silicon alloy.
Silica fume is commonly used as a partial substitute for Portland cement in
concrete at replacement levels of 5 to 10%.

Fiber Glass is a material made up of very fine fibers of glass.
The amount of fibers added to a concrete mix is expressed as a
percentage of the total volume of the composite (concrete and fibers)
typically ranges from 0.1 to 3%.

Advantages of green cementitious materials
1) Increase the life of concrete elements / structures
2) Reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions by 80%.
3) Increase the concrete compressive strength for minimum
20% after 90 days of casting date.
4) Better resistance to salts, thus produce sustainable concrete.
5) Improve concrete workability.

1 6) Reduce the rate of cracking of concrete.
7) Reduce moisture and water permeability in the concrete
and thus reduce the probability of steel rusting
8) Improve the degree of thermal insulation for concrete
9) Improve degree of fire resistance of concrete.
