Green concrete mix design makes more effective use of the cement binder. Aggregates replace excess cement paste to give improved stability, less shrinkage and increase in strength & durability. Less cement also generates less heat of hydration. The objective of this International Symposium was to focus on some important characteristics of “Green Concrete Aggregates and Cementitious Materials”.
Following are the details of the resource person.
