Description:
This AIA presentation focuses on sustainable concrete strategies for cast‑in‑place slab applications and supports early‑stage design decisions and material strategies by explaining how concrete’s carbon footprint is largely driven by cement production and material selection. It reviews practical approaches to lowering global warming potential (GWP) through mix optimization, supplementary cementitious materials, and improved design efficiency. A key component of the presentation is macro synthetic fiber‑reinforced concrete as a decarbonization tool, showing how fibers can replace traditional steel reinforcement while improving performance. The presentation also demonstrates how these strategies can significantly improve speed of construction by eliminating rebar installation and simplifying concrete placement.
