Abstract:
Concrete is one of the most important building material and day by day the
utilization of concrete is increasing to meet the infrastructure development
requirement. On one hand it is unavoidable but some alternative to be
explored to reduce the global environmental impact caused by the concrete.
To overcome this from the last decade the world is looking towards the
fact of sustainability due to rapid industrialization. The growth in the
construction industry increased the demand of concrete as construction
material. This concrete produces significant amount of greenhouse emission
in the environment. There is a need to find an alternative solution to
minimize the greenhouse emission emitted from the concrete manufacturing
plant.
Hempcrete is a building material prepared from hemp yarns, lime and
water. This composite material has several beneficial properties like low
in cost, easily available, thermal and acoustic insulation, low density and
sustainable cause of no adverse impact of carbon footprint on production.
In this study the properties and several benefits of the hempcrete were
discussed in detail.
