UNLOCKING SUSTAINABILITY: MICRONISED BIOMASS SILICA AS A NOVEL CEMENT REPLACEMENT IN CONCRETE

Аннотация

The pursuit of sustainable construction materials has driven innovative research into alternative cementitious components that can reduce the environmental footprint of concrete production. This study explores the utilization of micronised biomass silica as a novel cement replacement material in concrete formulations. Micronised biomass silica, derived from agricultural waste, offers not only an eco-friendly solution to waste management but also the potential to enhance concrete properties. This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the effects of incorporating micronised biomass silica on the mechanical, durability, and environmental performance of concrete. Through a combination of experimental testing and analytical analysis, the study demonstrates the feasibility of harnessing this bio-sourced material to advance sustainable construction practices. KEYWORDS Micronised biomass silica, cement replacement, sustainable construction, concrete properties, mechanical performance, durability, environmental impact, agricultural waste, eco-friendly materials, alternative cementitious components.
