Concrete Based on Clinker-Free Cement: Selecting the Functional Unit for Environmental Assessment

Improving the environmental situation and obtaining cement composites with new properties for various operating conditions is possible with the use of secondary resources. The paper is devoted to the criteria for evaluating the impact of clinker-free cement on the environment. The methodological app...
