Why is Silica Hazardous?
It is found in many materials common on construction and oil gas sites, including soil, sand, concrete, masonry, rock, granite, and landscaping materials. The dust created by cutting, grinding, drilling or otherwise disturbing these materials can contain crystalline silica particles.
Embodied energy in construction
Embodied energy in construction - Designing Buildings Wiki - Share your construction industry knowledge. It is thought that in the UK, buildings account for around 50% of the total energy consumed (ref. CIBSE). The UK construction industry is the largest consumer of resources, consuming more than 400 million tonnes of material a year (ref. Davis Langdon),
Why is sea sand not used for construction purposes? How
Sand (primarily silica) is used in construction as a component in various materials like concrete, mortar etc. Definitely the salts adsorbed (dissolution might not actually occur) on sand are going to affect the durability in reinforced

The Myth of Soil Amendments Part II: If you have a clay soil
The problems occur when sand and clay are mixed in incorrect proportions. An ideal soil has 50% pore space (with the remainder consisting of minerals and organic matter). The pore spaces in a clay soil are all small, while A soil
Construction and Building Materials
An international journal dedicated to the investigation and innovative use of materials in construction and repair. Construction and Building Materials provides an international forum for the dissemination of innovative and original research and development in the field of construction and building materials and their application in new works and repair practice.
Soil Compaction in Residential Construction
1989/10/01It's not hard to spot some of the results of poor soil compaction around a house. Cracked foundations. Concrete steps that lean away from the house. A cracked and settled garage slab with one part higher than the other. Rain water running toward the foundation instead of away from it. All these flaws mar appearance and reduce resale value for the property but
Environmental Issues in Construction
2018/03/30Environmental Issues Considering environmental issues in construction and life cycle, some only focus on evaluation of products in terms of waste disposal. This is too narrow. A product's "use phase" can account for as much as 90 percent of a product's impact on the environment.
New type of crushed sand to replace natural sand in concrete
Findings on the performance of crushed sand The current trend in the concrete construction industry is an attempt to increase the market share of self-compacting concrete. This is a special type of very flowable concrete that was
The Hidden Environmental Toll of Mining the World's Sand
