Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

How about Energy Efficient Cement Concrete ?

 How about Energy Efficient Cement Concrete ?

====================================

Highlights :

“Production of this novel concrete requires about 36% less energy and emits up to 76% less carbon dioxide as compared to conventional bendable concrete made of cement,” said Dr. Nematollahi.

The novel material is made of industrial waste products such as fly ash, a by-product of coal-fired power stations. The researchers have also included short polymeric fibers in order to ensure that the concrete can bend but not break.

“Our laboratory test results showed that this novel concrete is about 400-times more bendable than normal concrete, yet has similar strength.”

This is not only great news for disaster-prone areas, but it also great for the environment.
