Impact of Pumice Substitution on Mortar Properties: A Case Study on Mechanical Performance and XRD Analysis

Infrastructures, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 10(4), С. 95 - 95

Опубликована: Апрель 11, 2025

The incorporation of sustainable construction is essential for minimizing the environmental footprint cementitious composites. This research examines mechanical behavior and microstructural features alternative mortars in which pumice acts as a partial cement replacement. By applying Taguchi methodology, nine mortar mix variations were assessed at different replacement rates (15%, 25%, 50%), their strength was compared against control mixture without substitution. Additionally, an X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis identified mineral components to evaluate performance durability. Based on statistical variance (ANOVA), with up 25% substitution are suggested they attain values comparable those mixture. study contributes advancement environmentally materials provides valuable insights into viability using infrastructure developments.

A life cycle carbon dioxide equivalent emissions assessment of zero carbon building in hot semi-arid climate region: Case study

Results in Engineering, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 23, С. 102589 - 102589

Опубликована: Июль 27, 2024

As societies are shifting toward carbon neutral environments, they beginning to account for their emissions. One of the primary contributors greenhouse gas emissions and global warming is building industry; therefore, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) one instruments that allows an assessment energy energy-related environmental impacts buildings from cradle grave, according ISO 14040. In this context, aim research study assess dioxide (LC ) over a 50-year-lifespan zero-carbon solar-powered earth-based building, built with carbon-free adobe bricks, in hot semi-arid climate Morocco. While on equivalent () across life cycle crucial determine energy-intensive stages, looks into tendencies arising during cradle-to-gate embodied (A1-3) operational phases (B6) Zero Carbon Building (ZCB) case study, which should be offset by order abide ZCB definition. Results show LC residential falls 48.62 Kg /m2.y., phase has share around 93% addition, when conventional construction materials such as concrete, insulation used alternative, accounts 6.3 kg CO2eq/m2.y. 85% higher than eco-friendly it constitutes approximately 12.5% overall footprint. Moreover, annual 3.3-kWc-building-added-photovoltaic system. Hence, conducted offers valuable insight good practices decarbonization Morocco's stock. Through we generate knowledge net zero within African continent, promoting perks decentralized solar leaping forward electrified continent valorizing local techniques knowhow sector.

A Comprehensive Accounting of Construction Materials in Belt and Road Initiative Projects

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 58(35), С. 15575 - 15586

Опубликована: Авг. 20, 2024

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) stands as the most ambitious infrastructure project in history, marked by its scale of investment, extensive geographical reach across continents countries, a diverse array projects from roads to digital networks. While BRI's environmental sustainability has raised concerns, impacts construction materials used these have been overlooked, especially developing countries. Here, we map account for embodied BRI integrating, first time, official governmental reports, information, material flow analysis. We pinpoint analyze stocks each individual types, regions, sectors. Between 2008 2023, 328 million tons accumulated 540 around world, mostly Asia Africa. Aggregates (sand gravel) constitute largest share (82%), followed cement, steel, other materials. Most are transportation infrastructure. Our work further highlights some limitations terms data quality such assessments. By shedding light on significant impact raw usage globe, this study sets stage investigations into stock-flow-nexus perspective an initiative.
