Description
Girish Chandra Gandhi, Payal Mehta, and Ankit Sodha test greener concrete mixes for precast U-shaped drains in 2026 experiments. Ordinary concrete leans heavily on cement, a major source of carbon emissions. Their M40-grade mixes swapped in slag, fly ash, or tiny carbon nanotubes at very low doses.
Four mixes were checked for strength at 3, 7, and 28 days, plus chloride penetration and water permeability. Nanotubes at 0.03 to 0.05 percent raised compressive strength by 56 percent and blocked water passage entirely in testing. Higher doses clumped and helped less. Slag beat fly ash among the mineral swaps. The nanotube mix suits drains needing early strength and long service.
