Scientific Study at the University of Basrah Examines Comparative Sustainability of Commercial and Non-Commercial Concrete Mixes
A scientific study conducted at the University of Basrah by Dr. Ali Adnan Mohammed, a faculty member at the College of Engineering, investigated the comparative sustainability of commercial and non-commercial ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) mixes.
The study, published in the international journal Infrastructures, which is ranked in the first quartile (Q1) of the Scopus database, compared energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions, and costs between commercial and non-commercial mixes, while identifying the materials with the greatest impact on sustainability indicators.
The study’s results indicated that non-commercial UHPC mixes represent a promising and environmentally friendly option. Additionally, they are cost-effective and efficient for use in sustainable infrastructure applications.
