Solar parks are well-defined areas developed in the high solar potential area, with the required infrastructure to minimize the potential threat for the developers. Land occupancy is a major concern for the solar park. The government policy mostly emphasizes the use of waste-degraded land for solar parks. In a competitive energy market, any attempt to use waste-degraded land parcels, without policy regulatory support, can bring large-scale disruptions in the quality and cost of power. The present study investigates the potential of using waste degraded land, with a focus on the impact on the cost of generation and decision making. The study investigates the possibility of including the cost of the externalities in the overall cost economics, through policy and regulatory interventions. Data related to India has been considered in the present analysis. Results show that there are less socio-economic and ecological impacts in using wastelands, compared to land, in urban-semi urban areas with an opportunity cost. Thus, the policy and regulatory interventions could promote wasteland utilization and lure favorable decision-making on investments.

The development of self-compacting concrete using alternative materials is expanding in recent years due to the technical and economic benefits of the mixture. This study focuses on the structural and compositional behavior of sodium hydroxide (NaOH)-activated fly ash based self-compacting concrete (SCC). Fly ash was partially replaced with Ordinary Portland Cement from 0–30%. The tests performed on concrete samples include workability, strength, microstructural, and impact resistance. The results showed that activated fly ash reduces the heat of the hydration process of the concrete mixture but enhances pozzolanic reactions, which led to increased strength properties. The addition of activated fly ash modifies the mineralogy of the concrete, as evident in strength characteristics. The best performance of the activated fly ash based SCC, in terms of strength, was found at 10–15% substitutions, which can somewhat reduce the cost of production of SCC and strength improvement advantage.

This study evaluated the durability properties of self-compacting concrete made with recycled aggregate for pavement application. The developed mixture was subjected to permeability, water absorption, and chloride penetration tests, and obtained results were compared with those of normal pavement concrete. Three recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) replacement percentages at the rate of 20%, 40%, and 60% were considered in addition to the control concrete (0%). A grade M40 grade ternary blended concrete with Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), fly ash, and silica fume was designed. The fresh properties of the concrete - slump flow and V-funnel flow tests were determined. The results showed that a mixture containing up to 40% RCA had higher resistance to water absorption and chloride ingress than a similar mixture for normal-weight concrete.

Despite several studies focusing on producing sustainable concrete with nonconventional materials, there are short-term and long-term lapses in behavior of some of the concretes. This study, with a main focus on durability performance, explores strength and behavior of manufactured sand concrete containing alcofine and zinc oxide in severe environmental conditions. Alcofine and zinc oxide were added to the mixture at 10% and 2% by weight of cement, respectively. Manufactured Sand was used as a partial replacement for river sand at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete were determined after standard curing regimes. Durability tests, entailing exposure of concrete to acid attack, sea water, water absorption, sulphate attack, water permeability and rapid chloride penetration, were also performed. The results show that mixture made with 50% manufactured sand 10 %Alccofine and 0.5% Zinc oxide replacement, demonstrated better durability.
