Abstract

Green concrete is the most recent advancement in construction technology, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional concrete as a building material. The cement used in traditional concrete contributes significantly to the release of dangerous carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Green concrete is a concept that involves the partial or complete substitution of cement with a variety of elements that are either by-products of the manufacture of other materials or recovered garbage. The following article discusses. Green concrete is created by partly substituting fly ash for cement, which is derived from the combustion of pulverized coal in electric power plants, and totally substituting fine aggregate for a 60 percent – 40 percent replacement rate. A mixture of crushed glass and destroyed building trash that has been transformed until it reaches a fine powdered state. Building debris obtained from the remnants of buildings destroyed due to the conflict. Additionally, a comparison of the characteristics of normal concrete and green concrete materials.
