Title | Carbon dioxide sequestration of fly ash alkaline-based mortars containing recycled aggregates and reinforced by hemp fibers: Properties, freeze-thaw resistance, and carbon footprint |
Publication Type | Chapters/ Papers in International Books |

Abstract Text | This chapter discloses results of an investigation concerning the performance of fly ash (FA)/waste glass alkaline-based mortars with recycled aggregates reinforced by hemp fibers exposed to accelerated carbon dioxide curing. Properties, freeze-thaw resistance, and carbon footprint of these mixtures with hemp were studied. The results show that is possible to develop FA-based mortars with relevant durability performance and negative carbon footprint. |
