Specifying sustainable concrete - using 56 day concrete strengths
Publication Year
2021
Document Status
Current
Abstract
When concrete strength is specified to 56 days instead of 28 days, there could be notable reductions in embodied carbon, without compromising design. Three types of concrete are considered using BS EN 1992-1-1 requirements. This guidance looks at specifying strength at later ages, strength gain and design, how to specify and other considerations.
