Abstract

Our infrastructure and environment face unprecedented challenges in addressing a low carbon future with limited natural resources, expanding population, increased pollution and climatic uncertainties. Adaptation and innovations must therefore play a vital role in addressing the anticipated wide ranging complex scenarios ahead. The environment in which construction materials will need to function will become far more complex and aggressive and hence a fundamental revaluation of the most appropriate materials for future infrastructure and environment will be required in order to tackle those challenges. This paper focuses on a class of construction materials, both old and new, based on magnesia (MgO). They include a wide range of materials from those that contain MgO as a small additive to those which solely consist of MgO. They include concrete with MgO as an expansive additive, pervious concrete, alkali-activated cements, magnesium phosphate cements, carbonated products, stabilising additives for ground improvement, self-healing additives, carbon capture and storage materials and binders for waste 105 and contaminated land remediation. Those materials and products offer a range of technical and sustainability benefits for a range of structural, geotechnical and environmental applications. The paper highlights the applications and benefits that would be achieved with magnesia-bearing construction materials.
