Property of the soil-cement mixing wall using low CO2 emission cement
Property of the soil-cement mixing wall using low CO2 emission cement
Cement manufacturing involves expensive raw materials, a high energy requirement, and excessive CO2 emissions. To mitigate these disadvantages and realise an effective alternative for building soil-cement walls, a high-slag cement called Energy and CO2 Minimum cement (ECM) is proposed herein. Experimental tests were performed using two types of cement: ECM and BFS type B (BB), and their properties, such as strength, workability, and fluidity, were determined and compared. The results of this study confirm that the proposed ECM cement emits significantly low CO2 emissions and can be used as a viable alternative to building soil-cement. Furthermore, in the future, the proposed cement can be used in in-situ construction equipment in the practical projects.
