INTRODUCTION
Concrete is one of the most widely used man-made building materials in the
world. Compared to other building material concrete has numerous advantages such as abundant
resources, easy operation, steady mechanical properties, durability, low cost, of production.
These characteristics enable concrete to be widely employed in the field of civil bridges, roads,
hydraulic structures, Underground Ocean and military engineering. Despite such advantages
concrete has some disadvantages such as high energy and raw material consumption &
environmental pollution etc. which tends to serious effects on the image of the concrete as a
sustainable material. In this respect professor WA proposed the concept of GREEN
CONCRETE in 1997.
He proposed that GC should meet three requirements, very low energy &
resource consumption, no environmental pollution & sustainable development. After that GC
was developed and applied rapidly , where as to data understanding of GC still stay at the
qualitative level rather than at the level of quantitative evaluation. In ceramic industries about
30% of the production goes as waste due to manufacturing flaws. This waste is not utilized in
any form, adding up day by day and occupies more area of the industry. So industries are in
pressure to find a disposal system for this waste. These ceramic wastes are durable, hard &
almost inert to normal chemicals. The mechanical properties of the coarse aggregates from these
wastes are well within the range of the properties of concrete-making aggregates. The concrete
made with this industries waste is eco-friendly and so it is called as Green concrete.
It is also possible to use residual products thus reducing the need to landfill
these materials while still maintaining a high quality concrete. This is the background for the
Danish centre. The goal of the centre is to reduce the environmental impacts of the concrete
through the development of new resource saving binder system and increased recycling and
energy recovery of waste materials. The solution for environmental problem is not to replace
with other material but to reduce the environmental impact of the concrete &cement. Even small
reduction of the environmental impact per tonne of concrete will result in large environmental
benefits because of vast amount of concrete produce today. The potential environmental benefits
to society of being able to build with green concrete are huge. During last few decades, society
has become aware of the problem associated with land filling of the residual product and limits,
restrictions, and taxes have been imposed. As several residual products have properties suited for
concrete production, there is large potential to increase material recycling by investigating the
possible use of these for concrete production. Building materials with reduced environmental
impact are often less expensive to produce.
The other name for green concrete is resource saving structures means
structure with reduced environmental impact as regards, for example energy saving, reduced in
CO2 emission , waste water. It is very cheap to produce because waste products are used. Since
foe producing 1 tonne of cement/concrete about 0.1 tonne o CO2 emission is taking place.
Green concrete is the concrete in which concrete with minimal clinker content &with green
types of cement &binders. Concrete with inorganic residual products &industrial waste is ecofriendly so it is called Green concrete.

reduced environmental impact are often less expensive to produce. Furthermore, environmental
performance is increasingly taken into account in tenders. The material with the best
environmental parameters is the most likely to be used. Life cycle inventories of concrete-based
products show that the concrete mixture Proportions have a major influence on the total life cycle
impact. Combined with reducing the environmental impact of the constituent materials,
improved mixture design may result in concrete with significantly improved performance. to
reduce the CO2 emission by 21% of the 1990 level before 2012 as agreed to at the Kyoto
conference. It is also possible to use residual products thus reducing the need to landfill these
materials while still maintaining a high concrete quality.

Table 1 provides the chemical compositions of CKDs and fly ashes used, where Type I ordinary
portland cement (OPC) is listed as a reference. CKD 1 and FA 1 were used for chemical and
thermal activation studies with a CKD 1:FA1 ratio of 50:50. CKD 2 and FA 2 were used for
mechanical activation (grinding) study with a CKD2:FA2 ratio of 35:65. The median particle size
(50% passing) of OPC, CKD 1, FA 1, CKD 2 and FA 2 are 25, 53, 10, 8, and 30 microns,
respectively.

SCOPE IN INDIA
Green concrete is a revolutionary topic in the history of concrete industry. This
was first invented in Denmark in the year 1998 by Dr.WG. it does not took, long time to be
carried in India because highest problem of Indian industries to dispose of their waste by
economical way is under research. The main emphasis is given by this technology on reduction
of co2 content in the environment produced during manufacturing process of cement, concrete&
other main stream materials.
Some industries in Denmark producing Green concrete have pointed out that reduction in
production cost often go hand in hand with reduction in pollution.
From view point green concrete is not only promising from environment aspect but also
economic aspects.
Green concrete can replace traditional concrete in various parameters like,

CONCLUSION
Green concrete having reduced environmental impact with reduction of the
concrete industries co2 emissions by 30%. By using 40% fly ash of powder and cement with
reduced environmental impact. Therefore reduced environmental pollution. Green concrete is
having good thermal and fire resistant. Also having good sound insulation in comparison with
traditional concrete. In this concrete recycling use of waste material such as ceramic wastes,
aggregates, so increased concrete industrys use of waste products by 20%.hence green concrete
consumes less energy and becomes economical.
Developing country like India second rank is given to construction
development, which uses concrete in large amount & at the same time produces waste in the
form of concrete material.
So use of product like green concrete in future will not only reduce the
emission of co2 in environment but also economical to produce.
