Impact of Construction Material on Environment

Abstract

Increasing utilization of crude materials by the building units result in the diminution of natural resources as well as raising the ecological shocks including CO2 secretions all over the surroundings. Being prominently used, steel and concrete industries are dominating among the construction industries leading to symbolic damage to the environment. Thus this article determines various problems of hostile ecological affects due to the employment of the major building materials (steel and concrete) in the building industries. To diminish these ecological affects, there are two approaches which have been also focused in the present article such as reducing consumption and material selection to reduce impacts.
