| Popis: | [EN] The construction sector is widely known for its growing activity and its impact on the environment. The use of different materials within the world of construction has evolved over the years. Thus, thanks to technology, it has been possible to achieve an improvement in the behaviour of certain materials in the world of construction. In this article, different materials from this sector are analysed in order to achieve an improvement and awareness towards a more sustainable construction. The focus has been on the study of the behaviour of these materials and their responses to the phases of construction. As analysed, it has been possible to demonstrate that the controlled evolution of certain materials such as the use of clinker or cementite, significantly improves the context of sustainable construction. On the other hand, by replacing cement by other materials such as fly ash or slag can improve the durability by 50% which is a high figure related to the sustainable point of view, thus can reduce the impact on the environment. This work was supported by the European Union under the project Green Cities for Climate and Water Resilience, Sustainable Economic Growth, Healthy Citizens and Environments with reference 730283 and the framework of Condereff project (Ref. PGI05560-Condereff) Construction & demolition waste management policies for improved resource efficiency. |
