Abstract: Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials, but its production is associated with significant carbon dioxide emissions due to the high energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from cement manufacturing. To address this issue, this project aims to investigate the feasibility of using zeolite as a partial replacement for cement in concrete mixtures. Zeolite is a naturally occurring mineral with pozzolanic properties that can potentially reduce the environmental impact of concrete production. The project involves a series of experimental tests to assess the effects of varying zeolite content on the mechanical and durability properties of concrete. These tests include compressive strength, split tensile strength, water absorption, and chloride ion penetration resistance. By substituting a portion of cement with zeolite, the project seeks to determine if this substitution can lead to concrete with improved sustainability and reduced carbon emissions. The probable outcomes of this study will provide valuable insights into the potential benefits and drawbacks of using zeolite as a cement replacement in concrete. The results will be useful for the construction industry and researchers looking for more environmentally friendly alternatives in concrete production.
