Context

Every second in the world, 190 m3 of concrete are poured (metered), i.e. 6 billion m3 per year, making it the most widely used manufactured material in the world. The cement industry is responsible for around 7% of global CO2 emissions, as well as water and soil pollution.

Objectives

The main objective is to design an original experimental planning methodology to obtain high-performance ecological concretes made from different nanoparticles and recyclable waste additions that meet the minimum strength requirements imposed by building safety conditions, while having the required volume and surface properties. 

The specific objectives are to :

• contribute to the challenge of meeting sustainable development goals in the face of global challenges by reducing pollution from all types of demolition waste, thereby combating climate change
• boosting the innovative capacity of French-speaking researchers
• integrating the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine into the European and International Research Area
