This course starts with a discussion of the basic material science of concrete, its ingredients, and the protective gear needed for safe handling. It covers the environmental impact of carbon emissions related to the material, the industry’s Roadmap to Net Zero Concrete and its published commitments to address those impacts. The course presents real-life examples of how to reduce the environmental footprint of concrete, including using specific materials and techniques during project planning, design, and construction. It also discusses binder options like LC2, LC3, and other blended cement products that help cut embodied carbon in concrete. Information is given on slag cement, coal combustion products, both fresh fly ash and beneficiated reclaimed ash, natural pozzolans, and other established and newly developed supplementary cementitious materials. Lastly, the course will discuss established and emerging Carbon Sequestration and Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) strategies and detail their role in decarbonating concrete construction and what designers, and other stakeholders can do to promote these technologies.
