Sustainable construction materials have gained significant attention in civil engineering projects due to their potential to reduce environmental impact and promote long-term sustainability. This abstract provides an overview of sustainable construction materials and their application in civil engineering projects. It highlights the importance of sustainable materials in mitigating climate change, reducing resource depletion, and improving overall environmental performance.
The incorporation of sustainable construction materials in civil engineering projects is crucial for achieving sustainability goals. Traditional construction materials, such as concrete and steel, have significant environmental drawbacks, including high carbon emissions, energy consumption, and depletion of natural resources. Sustainable materials offer viable alternatives that can address these challenges.
Improvements in concrete's tensile strength, post-cracking resistance, and brittleness are perennial goals in the field of civil engineering and construction. Strong and adaptable hybrid fiber reinforced concrete is being developed using new techniques. Hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) is a concrete matrix containing hybrid fibers randomly scattered throughout. The hybrid fibers utilized in the current study of fiber-reinforced concrete were a mixture of steel fiber and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber. Workability, compressive, split tensile strength, and flexural strength of the HFRC matrix were all measured as part of an extensive experimental program aimed to examine the impacts of the aforementioned hybrid fiber.
Human life isn't the only thing that can be lost in a cyclone; other animals and property can be impacted as well. A number of hurricanes or cyclones have occurred at various times in the past. Among all the parts of a building, the roof is the one that is directly subjected to the effects of climate change. Roofing structures are common in India's coastal regions and elsewhere around the globe. The roofs of these exposed buildings must withstand considerable wind loads due to the high wind speeds in the atmosphere. The purpose of this research is to examine how wind pressure coefficients vary across a variety of pyramidal roofs and to monitor wind behavior in the vicinity of the building.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
