Decide whether these statements are true or false:
1. a). Concrete can be used as a material, owing to which hauling and project costs are reduced.
b). Concrete can be used as a material in new construction projects to help protect the environment from the consequences of climate change.
c). Concrete can be used as a material reducing the CO2 emissions.
2. a). Concrete is a material that cannot be recycled economically, without compromising the essential material properties.
b). Concrete is a material, most commonly used after clay and stone.
c). Concrete is a material that is used in all types of construction.
3. a). If concrete is used in the construction of buildings, it can reduce the need for air conditioning because concrete has a high thermal mass.
b). If concrete is used in the construction of buildings, it can reduce energy consumption.
c). If concrete is used in the construction of buildings, it can last and work for decades.
4. a). An argument against using concrete to fight the effects of climate change in projects is that the chemical reaction may occur between the alkaline water and the aggregate that causes a volumetric expansion.
b). An argument against using concrete to fight the effects of climate change in projects is that one of the main ingredients in concrete is cement.
c). An argument against using concrete to fight the effects of climate change in projects is that there can be contamination of aggregate by detrimental substances or other harmful materials.
5. a). The process used to manufacture cement is efficient and eco-friendly.
b). The process used to manufacture cement meets the new building regulations.
c). The process used to manufacture cement is energy intensive and has a high initial carbon footprint.
