Resumen
The construction sector is widely known for its growing activity and its impact onthe environment. The use of different materials within the world of construction hasevolved over the years. Thus, thanks to technology, it has been possible to achievean improvement in the behaviour of certain materials in the world of construction.In this article, different materials from this sector are analysed in order to achievean improvement and awareness towards a more sustainable construction. The focushas been on the study of the behaviour of these materials and their responses tothe phases of construction. As analysed, it has been possible to demonstrate thatthe controlled evolution of certain materials such as the use of clinker or cementite,significantly improves the context of sustainable construction. On the other hand, byreplacing cement by other materials such as fly ash or slag can improve the durabilityby 50% which is a high figure related to the sustainable point of view, thus can reducethe impact on the environment.
