Description: With increasing discussion about the need to control global warming, engineers are starting to pay attention to how they can reduce the environmental impact of their work. This presentation will review what actions have been taken in recent years to reduce carbon footprint in concrete construction, as well as offer some thoughts on what actions can be taken today, and dream a little about the future.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the source of carbon dioxide in production of concrete infrastructure systems
- Describe actions that can be taken to change manufacturing processes to reduce carbon footprint
- Debate how these changes can be implemented under current contractual systems
- Understand what actions have been taken in recent years to reduce carbon footprint in concrete construction
