Why Bioconcrete?
Problems in normal concrete:
Cement, main ingredient = ‘Non-sustainable’
Yearly consumption :
- millions of tons of cement in a single country
- millions of tons of sand
- millions of tons of gravel
Environmental impact:
10%of world CO2 production due to cement production
Liable to early-age crack formation / degradation
1. Loss of strength
2. Increased permeability: ingress of aggressive chemicals
Degradation of concrete matrix
Risk of reinforcement corrosion
