New generation of concrete materials in Structures: excellent performance, challenges still exist

Concrete is the backbone of global infrastructure, but its traditional formula is no longer able to meet modern engineering needs in terms of durability, sustainability, and adaptability.

According to statistics, the construction industry contributes about 38% of global carbon dioxide emissions, with cement production accounting for 8%.

In this context, new concrete materials such as high-performance concrete (HPC), ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), self compacting concrete (SCC), fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC), geopolymer concrete (GPC), and 3D printed concrete have emerged.
