Original Abstract

Green concrete is defined as a concrete which uses waste material as at least one of its components, or its production process does not lead to environmental destruction, or it has high performance and life cycle sustainability. Currently, cement and concrete production is at all-time high resulting in significant carbon dioxide emissions. Eight percent of the world's total CO2 emissions come from manufacturing cement. Nanomaterial concrete is new generation concrete formed of materials of the grain size of nanoscale. In the construction industry, nanomaterials has potentials, especially the functional characteristics such as increased tensile strength. The paper shows the dose dependence carbon nanotubes for the physico-mechanical properties of cement mixes.
