The next-generation material

R concrete: resource-saving concrete

The collaborative research project entitled “R Concrete – Resource-Saving Concrete – The Next-Generation Material” aims to identify ways to permanently remove standardization obstacles in order to reuse mineral construction waste without decreasing the quality of the resulting building material or burdening the environment. The members of the project consortium are well positioned to cover and investigate all aspects that currently hamper the large-scale market launch of R concrete.

This project should develop practice-driven application rules that enable significant progress compared to the...
