The Influence of High Performance Concrete on Low-Carbon Economy

Abstract:

The demand for high performance concrete is increasing nowadays. The service life of high performance concrete has significant effect on the consumption of energy and resources. Adding good chemical and mineral admixtures to regulate and optimize the microstructure of concrete can ensure the service life of concrete structures and save great amount of cement simultaneously. It is a good way to turn waste into resource and turn the harmful into the beneficial.
