Sažetak
Sustainable development is one of the major issues of modern society, highly endangered by industrialization and technological development. Use of large amounts of non-renewable resources as well as significant air emissions during cement production place concrete industry very high on the scale of world’s pollutants. In this paper an overview is given of possible actions that can be employed in concrete technology in order to upgrade concrete industry and create one that is environmentally more friendly and sustainable. Some of the actions include using of blended cements and new types of binders, recycled aggregate from construction and demolition waste, industrial waste or from end-of-life tyres, prolongation of service life by prescribing, controlling and assuring durability in design, construction and exploitation phase of concrete structure. The benefits of given actions are highlighted through presentation of experimental results obtained on the existing scientific projects in the area of sustainable development.
