Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

For more than a century, Portland cement has been used as the primary binding agent in concrete production – albeit at a high price, in both economic and ecological terms. As a result, there is increasing focus on developing alternative binder systems that will make significant contributions to reducing carbon emissions. Having also recognized this necessity, FiberCrete, a Steinbeis Innovation Center, is working with a variety of stakeholders as part of an alliance called recomine. Together, they have been developing alkali-activated slags based on roller slag with the aim of producing manhole bases with strong chemical resistance.
