Abstract

Today, global warming is a major issue facing all over the world. The main reason behind an increase in the effect of greenhouse gas. The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the construction industry contributes 9% to increasing greenhouse gas therefore it is our responsibility to work on the reduction of CO2. In this paper, we study CO2 absorption by using zeolite powder in concrete as a partial replacement for cement. The effect of zeolite powder on the surface of the concrete is taken into consideration and likewise, glass fiber could be an innovative material that can enhance and maintain the strength of concrete. In this study, the material property along with its application with concrete is reviewed.
