Sustainable Low-Carbon Materials for Future Concrete Infrastructure

With more industry and government organisations seeking to use low-carbon or recycled materials for transport infrastructure, there is an urgent need to update current industry specifications and standards. This event showcased a project working towards just that. On Tues, March 17, 2026, Chair Arun Arunothayan had a chat with Rebecca Gravina (University of Queensland) and Wayne Roberts (Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads) about their research collaboration. They discussed how their project is exploring concrete mixes for non-structural applications that include industrial byproducts such as slag, fly ash, furnace bottom ash and quarry dust alongside other recycled waste materials such as plastic and glass. The free online session includes a series of brief presentations followed by a Q&A.
