As a key binding agent in concrete and mortar, cement is extensively used in the United States construction industry in residential, non-residential, and public works building projects. As of 2021 ...
Introduction: Clinical decision-making is a daily practice conducted by medical practitioners, yet the processes surrounding it are poorly understood. The influence of 'shortcuts' in clinical decision-making, known as heuristics, remains unknown. This paper explores heuristics and the valuable role they play in medical practice, as well as offering …

Concrete literally holds the modern world together. The material and its binding agent cement comprise a key ingredient in the buildings and roads essential for development and in infrastructure critical to sustainable growth. The cement industry also generates about 7 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. While manufacturers have reduced …
With a growing number of industries and sectors moving toward net-zero emissions, a significant amount of value is at stake in cement. General EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) carbon prices have reached nearly €100 per metric ton of carbon dioxide, 3 Based on figures from Ember's EU carbon price tracker. For more, see "EU …
* India's cement production reached 374.55 million tonnes in FY23, a growth rate of 6.83% year-on-year (yoy). * As per Crisil Ratings, the Indian cement industry is likely to add ~80 million tonnes (MT) capacity by FY24, the highest since the last 10 years, driven by increasing spending on housing and infrastructure activities.
H2 in cement: Lessons learned. VDZ reports on a trial using hydrogen to reach net-zero CO2 fuel emissions in the main burner. The German cement sector is one of the most sustainable in the world, with stringent emission standards and high use of alternative fuels. Over the past 30 years, the cement industry was able to reduce the …
The optimisation technique in cement and concrete studies can be broadly classified as a meta-heuristic approach and statistical experimental design methods . The meta-heuristic approach is an iterative method that intelligently exploits search space at learning strategies. ... "Carbon capture for CO2 emission reduction in the cement …
Abstract. This research looks at the production planning of hollow-core slabs integrated to the optimisation problem of the use of moulds. Considering the production process of these structures, two mathematical models are proposed for the arising problem, which consists of a one-dimensional multi-period cutting stock problem with …
Concrete is formed when portland cement creates a paste with water that binds with sand and rock to harden. Cement is manufactured through a closely controlled chemical combination of calcium, silicon, aluminum, …
