Designing more sustainable and greener self-compacting concrete
Open accessAbstract
The present paper focuses on understanding the relationship between the mixing proportion parameters of self-compacting concrete (SCC) and its environmental impact and thus developing more greener SCC . Three simple indices combining the embodied environmental impacts with engineering properties (such as strength) of SCC are proposed. And 16 SCC mixtures with different compositions are designed to quantitatively evaluate the corresponding environmental impacts of SCC by use of the proposed index. Results indicate the ecological impact index of SCC closely depends on the mixing proportions. The addition of high volume mineral admixtures not only can effectively reduce the e-CO 2 and e-resource indices but also decrease the e-energy index. Selecting a reasonable aggregate volume can help decrease the environmental impact of SCC. Employing recycled limestone sand to replace river sand will increase the e-CO 2 index and e-energy index of SCC, although it can reduce the e-resource index. Regardless of the mixing proportion parameters, the e-CO 2 , e-energy and e-resource index of SCC both decrease with the increasing compressive strength for SCCs with a compressive strength ranging from 30 to 60 MPa.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
