📄 Abstract（原文）
Low-carbon concrete, or sustainable concrete, in general, should be a significant consequence of fundamental knowledge and good construction practices developed over the past several decades. It is emphasized that hype or greenwashing may not result in substantiated benefits while fundamentally sound and thorough research could provide meaningful impact. The paper reviews research over the past two decades at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras that has focused on improving the performance of structural concrete through the incorporation of supplementary cementitious materials, considering the advantages, as well as the limitations to be mitigated. This has required extensive experimental studies to understand the physicochemical mechanisms, as well as the short- and long-term responses, of SCM-based concretes. In the fresh stage, the requirement of a simple method for estimating the superplasticizer dosage for a blended binder and for mitigating plastic shrinkage cracking has been addressed through the use of the Marsh Cone test on cement paste and the incorporation of polymer fibres. It has been established that the microstructural characteristics can be correlated to the porosity and diffusion parameters, becoming the basis of mixture proportioning. The major improvement in chloride resistance with supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), which reduces rebar corrosion, is evident from detailed studies. On the other hand, there are limitations in terms of carbonation rate and shrinkage in some cases. Steps for choosing the most sustainable concrete mixture for a site are highlighted, considering strength, embodied carbon and energy, and durability. Further, examples of site implementation based on the research are also mentioned.
