Understanding Transport for Concrete which is Eco friendly iNnovative and Durable (TRANSCEND)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
Cement is the primary binding phase of concrete. It is millennia old and ubiquitous worldwide. As a building material, it is unrivalled in terms of tonnage used, price per tonne, and CO2 production per tonne. Yet its very success means that cement production account for about 5% of global man-made CO2 emissions.The cement industry urgently requires more sustainable cement based products with equal ...

Analysis and Modelling of the Reactivity of Pozzolans during Cement Hydration (AMORPH)
Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2014,
"Currently, the annual global cement production is estimated to be 3.3 billion tons1. Even though the CO2 emissions associated with the final product, concrete, are low, the massive scale of production, means that the cement industry accounts for 5-8 % of the global annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions3. One of the most effective ways to improve sustainability is the blending of Portland cement with ...
