Cement-free concrete beats corrosion and gives fatbergs the flush – Phys.org

Researchers from RMIT University have developed an eco-friendly zero-cement concrete, which all but eliminates corrosion.
Concrete corrosion and fatbergs plague sewage systems around the world, leading to costly and disruptive maintenance.
But now RMIT engineers have developed concrete that can withstand the corrosive acidic environment found in sewage pipes, while greatly reducing residual lime that leaches out, contributing to fatbergs.
Fatbergs are gross globs of congealed mass clogging se…
