Engineered Cementitious Composites Using High Volume Fly Ash and PVA Fibers for the Sustainable Development in Construction Industry
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
For each ton of Cement produced, one ton of CO2, a greenhouse gas, is released into the atmosphere. Worldwide, the Cement industry produced about 1.4 billion tons in 1995, which caused the emission of as much CO2 gas as 300 million automobiles. Our industry has a responsibility and societal duty to make a contribution towards taking the steps necessary to achieve sustainable development. A scientific approach towards conserving natural resources involves increasing durability of structures, because more durable structures need to be replaced less frequently. Such increased durability can be achieved by choosing appropriate mix designs and selecting suitable Aggregates and admixtures. Development of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) materials using High volume of Fly Ash and Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fibers will produce the most promising construction materials with High durability. This Paper focuses on Development and study of Engineered Cementitious Composites using High Volume Fly Ash and Polyvinyl Alcohol Fiber, the use of which will increase the durability and hence lead to the Sustainable Development in Construction Industry.
