Cement and chemical grouts have often been used for soil strengthening. However, high cost, energy consumption, and harm to environment restrict their applications. Biocement could be a new green building- material and energy-saving material. Biocement is a mixture of enzymes or microbial biomass with inorganic chemicals, which can be produced from cheap raw materials. Supply of biocementing solution to the porous soil or mixing of dry biocement with clayey soil initiate biocementation of soil due to specific enzymatic activity. Different microorganisms and enzymes can be used for production of biocement.

Mixed Concrete

Concrete is the most extensively used material in building and civil project structure. With the rapid development of economic construction, urban construction and infrastructure construction increase year by year, so there is a greater demand for concrete, which brings the rapid development of ready-mixed concrete industry. During the rapid development, structural safety and durability problems caused by concrete quality appear frequently. Meanwhile, to implement the fundamental national policies of resource conservation and environment protection, according to Green Building Action Plan (GUOBANFA [2013] No.1) approved by CPC Central Committee and the State Council, besides meeting the quality requirements, ready-mixed concrete must also meet the green products requirements of "energy conservation, emission reduction, safety, convenience and recyclability" for the vigorous development of green building material and supporting the requirements for building energy conservation, green building and new-type urbanization construction. By quality testing, this paper elaborates the green assessment technology for ready-mixed concrete in combination with raw material quality control, design of mix ratio, production process quality control, construction process quality control, residual concrete treatment, hardened concrete quality control, and control of dust, noise and wastewater. The greening of ready-mixed concrete brings the production and application of green building material, promotes the transformation and upgrading of building material industry and drives the development of green building.

Earth Block

Two of the primary waste components of the Phosphates benefaction process, sand and clay have been used as building materials for thousands of years. A process known as rammed earth has been used extensively around the world in buildings that have lasted for centuries. Because earth is the main ingredient in rammed earth it has recently enjoyed new popularity as a so called “green” building material. In a similar process earth is compressed into blocks which are then used in the same way as conventional masonry units to build walls. In the compressed earth block [CEB] method, individual units can be manufactured and stockpiled for later use rather than being fabricated on site as in the rammed earth process. This research project will investigate the potential use of waste clay and tailing sand from the phosphate benefaction process as the primary ingredients in compressed earth blocks for commercial and residential construction projects.
