Successful eco-friendly and flexible cement experience.

Australia: We know that cement making is not an environmentally friendly process and yet it is flexible despite its robustness. But now Australian experts have developed a highly eco-friendly and resilient cement that can be very effective in disasters and earthquakes.Experts at Swinburne University in Australia have developed an eco-friendly concrete that does not require traditional cement to make and retains its elasticity even after drying.Although concrete can be weighed down, it is immediately prone to breakage when its load is placed at its center. The reason is that despite all its hardness, it is flexible.On the other hand, construction of seismic terrain is made more flexible by a special building code which costs a lot. The new cement that Swinburne University has created requires less energy and less carbon dioxide in its preparation.Cement is used to produce very high temperatures which cause carbon dioxide emissions. But experts say the new cement is manufactured from industrial waste such as flying carbon in coal plants and other materials. It is a type of geopolymer compost that can also be prepared at normal temperatures.Although flexible cement is being researched worldwide, cement manufactured in Australia requires 36% less energy and 76% less carbon dioxide. Behzad Niamatullah, a research scientist, says that the concrete made from this cement has been viewed 400 times more flexible than others.As concrete begins to break down, the fibers of the polymer do not allow it to scatter. For this reason, the concrete can be used to build buildings in countries including Japan and Pakistan, where the risk of earthquakes remains high. The whole of this cement has been published in the Rawdad Journal of Construction and Building Material.
