Abstract : Green concrete has always been a revolutionary subject in the concrete industry history. In general, concrete is a friendly environmental material because of its narrow overall impact (per ton) on the environment. This paper introduces the “green” concrete as the using alternative and/or recycled waste materials (such as fly ash and recycled concrete aggregates) in the concrete production process in order to reduce environmental impact, energy spending, and natural resource use. This paper also covers the main aspects of using and choosing adequate materials for green concrete.
