Abstract

In India, over the last few decades there has been a boost in the demand for residential buildings which had led to construction of buildings with a very little understanding and concern about the environmental impacts. During the construction phase one of the most important aspect that needs to be considered for sustainable construction is to reduce the use of virgin materials, like cement. In this paper, a comparative study of GGBS concrete and OPC concrete by considering the case study of a high rise residential project has been presented. It was estimated that by the use of GGBS, CO2 emission can be reduced by 51.77% and cost saving of 33.41% can be achieved.
