ABSTRACT

The construction industry, as well as other sectors, are always concerned about reduction of available funds, uninterrupted supply of raw materials, energy saving and environment protection.

To face the above concerns, there is a need to optimise the use of available funds, to optimise the properties of materials used, to minimise energy expenditure in all construction or maintenance/rehabilitation works and to find alternative solutions that will not damage, deteriorate or have a negative impact to the environment.
