It is resource intensive, using vast amounts of energy, virgin materials such as sand and lime, and water. Clearly, a more sustainable alternative is needed.
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world due to its cost-effectiveness, abundance of raw materials, facile manufacturing, and adequate physical and mechanical properties.
