"consumption of concrete" is a grammatically correct and useable phrase in written English.
It refers to the amount or act of using or utilizing concrete. Example: The rapid growth of urbanization has led to an increase in the consumption of concrete for building construction.
The proposed design reduces the required binder content in the SCC mixture by 16%, the energy consumption during production of concrete by 30.57%, the CO2 emissions by 33.98%, and the material cost by 6.24%, respectively, compared with the typical mix design recommended by the American Concrete Institute (ACI C237) standard for similar 28-day compressive strength.
The constant increase in consumption of aggregates for concrete production represents a major environmental issue in the construction industry.
Besides adding supplementary cementitious materials to replace part of the cement, the cement consumption and carbon footprint of concrete may also be lowered by reducing the cementitious paste volume.
The high consumption of Portland cement in concrete production had contributed to a significant carbon dioxide emission to the environment.
The use of recovered aggregates consequently induces an increase in water demand and cement consumption to ensure the workability conditions of concrete that is proportional to the concrete strength level.
(2013) adopted several natural leaves to improve the insulation of concrete by reducing energy consumption and environmental damage.
The utilization of recycled aggregates can minimize environmental impact and slow the huge consumption of natural resources used for concrete applications.
This energy savings was made possible by the reduced use of form-work resulting from the utilization of precast members, and the reduced consumptions of steel and concrete resulting from the enhanced structural performance of the hybrid composite system.
