Sažetak
Research activity within the Civil Engineering Materials field in the Materials Department at Civil Engineering Faculty University of Zagreb was in progress through several themes under the common interest – sustainable development. Sustainable development is one of the major issues of modern society, highly endangered by industrialization and technological development. Within this area, research includes material response to environmental processes ; the interaction between environment, material properties and degradation processes ; in-service performance of materials ; low-embodied-energy construction materials, and the development of novel micro- and macro- characterisation techniques to study hybrid materials such as hybrid micro fiber concrete. The research comprises both theoretical and experimental studies, the latter including micro-scale examination, full-scale testing and field studies. An overview 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 is given. 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.
