This book explores sustainable alternatives to traditional cement in concrete by focusing on the partial replacement of cement with silica fume and corn ash. It examines the environmental impacts of cement production, such as high carbon dioxide emissions and resource depletion, and introduces Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) as effective solutions. Using a mix of scientific research and practical case studies, the book demonstrates how silica fume and agricultural wastes like corn ash can improve the strength, durability, and sustainability of M20 grade concrete, while reducing the ecological footprint of construction projects. The book aims to serve engineers, researchers, and students interested in green building materials and sustainable construction practices.
