The world of plastic waste: A review

P.G.C. Nayanathara Thathsarani Pilapitiya, Amila Sandaruwan Ratnayake · 28 Jan 2024

People discover various materials from time to time that break the boundaries of traditional materials. Plastic is a revolutionized material, and is referred to as “a material with 1,000 uses”. This review summarized up-to-date research on plastic and its waste pollution. Plastic has a domain throughout human life with its versatile properties such as lightweight,…

Fly ash for sustainable construction: A review of fly ash concrete and its beneficial use case studies

Dheeresh Kumar Nayak, P. P. Abhilash, Rahul Kumar Singh et al. · 26 Sep 2022

Concrete has a tremendous influence on the environment since the majority of its composition is cement, which is a material that emits high levels of carbon dioxide. It is possible for concrete construction to have a lower impact on the environment if the usage of cement is reduced as much as possible by the addition…

Geopolymer concrete as a cleaner construction material: An overview on materials and structural performances

Hemn Unis Ahmed, Lavan Jutyar Mahmood, Muhammad Muhammad et al. · 1 Jul 2022

The manufacture of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) produces a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere. Researchers have recently focused on exploring the behaviour of geopolymer concrete (GPC) as an alternative to Portland cement concrete (PCC) in micro and macro dimensions. Geopolymers (GP) are innovative cement-based materials that could totally replace OPC composites. Geopolymer composites (GC)…

Geopolymer concrete incorporating recycled aggregates: A comprehensive review
