| Research Abstract |
In Japan, it would be essential to develop resource conservation system regarding environmental conscious concrete and its concrete structures.
In this study, it was conducted the experiment for evaluating the fundamental properties of carbonated concrete using some kinds of cement materials and the conditions of carbon-footprint of transportation of concrete materials by track or shipment. Next, the fundamental properties of concrete fully contained of secondary construction byproducts such as recycle aggregates and solid stone powders were investigated and the environmental effect evaluation under practicing the proactive use of these secondary byproducts in concrete was evaluated. Finally, the state conditions of transportation on concrete aggregate to be considered transported distances, aggregate mass volume and number of times of transportation and CO2 emissions in comparison with the transportation ways were investigated.
