Author(s): Ramya HN, Darshan MN*, Naveen kumar GS, Gangashree AB and Sagar KS
In today’s world one of the major problems is pollution. In order reduce the pollution we need sustainable solution this sustainability includes socio economical equity. and environmental protection. To achieve sustainable solution, these three issues must be solved. Titanium dioxide blended concrete is the most promising solution for this ever increasing problem. This concrete has the same structural properties to normal concrete but because of the presence of titanium dioxide in the concrete which removes the pollutants effectively. This solution provides a viable option to high traffic volume roads or areas. The smog absorbing or photocatalytic concrete acts as pollution reducer. It means which converts harmful pollutants into harmless pollutants. In our project we are making concrete blocks by replacing the cement with titanium from 0% to 5% and we tested the blocks for comp.. Read More»
