Statement of the Research Problem
The growth in global population and income in the twenty-first century has increased the need for sustainable materials. These requirements occur as a result of landfills piling up due to massive depositions of accumulated garbage, the earth's environment shifting as a result of CO2 emissions into the air during the production of new products and cement, and natural resources becoming extinct. (Olutoge et al., 2010; Nattapong et al., 2011). Concrete's shortcomings, such as its low energy absorption and poor tensile strength, cause initial cracks and failure. (Ogunbode et al., 2016). These cracks in the concrete's surface provide a pathway for harmful species such as sulphates, moisture, chloride, and carbon dioxide to enter the concrete, causing the reinforcement to corrode and compromise the structure's durability. The two aforementioned problems, namely CO2 emissions into the atmosphere during cement processing and poor tensile and energy absorption of concrete, necessitate the conduct of this study.
