Environmentally friendly concrete compositions, installations, and methods thereof

A method for producing an environmentally friendly concrete installation, comprising:

• constructing formwork for the concrete installation;
• mixing cement, one or more pozzolans, and one or more aggregates to produce a dry concrete mixture,
• wherein the dry concrete mixture includes 1 part of the cement together with the one-or-more pozzolans, 1 to 5 parts of fine aggregate, and 2 to 10 parts of coarse aggregate;
• mixing a synthetic microfiber with the dry concrete mixture at a rate of at least about 0.25 lbs. per cubic yard of the dry concrete mixture;
• hydrating the dry concrete mixture with water to make a pourable concrete mixture;
• pouring the pourable concrete mixture into the formwork to produce a poured concrete form;
• and
• allowing the poured concrete form to cure to produce the concrete installation.

A method for producing an environmentally friendly concrete installation, comprising:

• constructing formwork for the concrete installation;
• mixing a synthetic microfiber with cement, one or more pozzolans selected from metakaolin, slag, fly ash, fumed silica, and powdered glass, and one or more aggregates selected from crushed glass and crushed miscellaneous base to produce a dry concrete mixture,
• wherein the dry concrete mixture includes 1 part of the cement together with the one-or-more pozzolans, 1.8 to 3 parts of fine aggregate, and 3 to 4.2 parts of coarse aggregate, and
• wherein the one-or-more pozzolans are combined with the cement at a rate of no more than about 20% of the one-or-more pozzolans to at least about 80% of the cement by weight;
• mixing a synthetic microfiber with the dry concrete mixture at a rate of at least about 0.25 lbs. per cubic yard of the dry concrete mixture;
• hydrating the dry concrete mixture with water to make a pourable concrete mixture;
• pouring the pourable concrete mixture into the formwork to produce a poured concrete form;
• and
• allowing the poured concrete form to cure to produce the concrete installation.
