Since concrete, in all its diversity of mixtures, is a product that is strongly present in engineering works, responsible for supporting, coating and consolidating structures, the characterization of new combinations exploiting the characteristics of the components added to the mass is something of extreme interest to the construction industry, since, through experimentation, combinations with superior performance to those already on the market are able to emerge. Taking into account the growing trend towards sustainable construction, the addition of renewable materials to concrete is very convenient, with the potential to reduce costs and, above all, the impact produced by the exploitation of the basic mineral components of the mix.
