- Synopsis
- Nine organizations conducted joint research for the purpose of establishing design and construction methods for concrete structures that use low-carbon concrete containing a large quantity of supplementary cementitious materials. The "Guidelines for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures Using Low-Carbon Cementitious Materials" were proposed based on the results obtained from the experiments and analyses. These guidelines define binders that increase the replacement ratio of supplementary cementitious materials compared with the cements that are commonly used domestically in Japan for the purpose of reducing carbon dioxide emissions during material manufacturing as "low-carbon cementitious materials", and set out principles for the design and construction of concrete structures that apply such materials, as well as related considerations.
- Keywords:
- Low-carbon cementitious materials, supplementary cementitious materials, carbon dioxide emissions reduction, design and construction methcds
