Development of Sustainable Reinforced Concrete Poles/ Posts for supporting farming practices in North America
EF 2022-23 · 2022-05-16
Résumé
Develop environment-friendly and sustainable concrete poles for supporting farming practices in North America by using alternate reinforcements such as BFRP and reducing the use of Portland cement by replacing it with post consumer waste materials such as glass. The newly developed concrete poles would require less labor for its production when compared to traditional concrete poles that are reinforced with steel rebars; and would have a much higher service life compared to the wooden poles used by many farmers. Additionally, the reduction of the use of Portland cement on a large scale will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Description
Develop environment-friendly and sustainable concrete poles for supporting farming practices in North America by using alternate reinforcements such as BFRP and reducing the use of Portland cement by replacing it with post consumer waste materials such as glass. The newly developed concrete poles would require less labor for its production when compared to traditional concrete poles that are reinforced with steel rebars; and would have a much higher service life compared to the wooden poles used by many farmers.

Description (French)
Développer des poteaux en béton écologiques et durables pour soutenir les pratiques agricoles en Amérique du Nord en utilisant des renforts différents comme le polymère renforcé de fibres de basalte (BFRP) et en réduisant l'utilisation du ciment Portland en le remplaçant par des déchets de consommation tels que le verre. Les nouveaux poteaux en béton nécessiteraient moins de main-d'œuvre pour leur production par rapport aux poteaux en béton traditionnels renforcés par des barres d'armature en acier et auraient une durée de vie beaucoup plus longue que les poteaux en bois utilisés par de nombreux agriculteurs. En outre, la réduction de l'utilisation du ciment Portland à grande échelle contribuera à réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre.
