What is sustainable development?
■
"Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
World Commission on Environment and
Development’s Report Our Common Future (Oxford University Press, 1987).

Cement Mfg. Key Reactions
CaCO3, calcium carbonate, is usually obtained from limestone
CaCO3 →
CaO
+ CO2 @ 1,100 to 1,650 °F
Clinkering (combining CaO) with silicates, aluminates and ferrites) requires additional energy

Sustainable must be Durable
Optimal material utilization –
less waste from replacement
Lower maintenance costs and construction congestion
Lower total cost of ownership
Long life = smaller eco-footprint

Construction Energy Savings
500 million tons of HMA placed annually
If ½
were concrete instead: annual fuel savings greater than
500,000,000 gallons!!!
Savings are staggering - CO2 equivalent to taking 1.4 million cars off the road!

Improved Fuel EconomyExample: 62 mile long
arterial highway 20,000 vehicles /day 15%
truck traffic 5.5 mpg saving; 30 yr design life
Saved 165,000 tons of CO2
CO2 associated with concrete pavement is
compensated for during the first 9 years
more CO2 saved during use than
invested in manufacturing
