Sustainable Concrete Innovation: Enhancing Strength With GGBS And EPS Beads
Keywords:
Sustainable Concrete, Alternative Fine Aggregate, Lightweight Concrete, Partial Replacement.Abstract
In today's rapidly evolving construction landscape, concrete remains the backbone of infrastructure, from modest homes to towering skyscrapers. Traditionally, concrete consists of cement, fine aggregate (river sand), coarse aggregate, water, and various admixtures tailored to specific needs. However, the excessive extraction of river sand has led to alarming environmental consequences, including ecosystem disruption, increased flood risks, and depletion of natural resources.
