Handbook of Sustainable Concrete and Industrial Waste Management
Recycled and Artificial Aggregate, Innovative Eco-friendly Binders, and Life Cycle Assessment
About this book
The Handbook of Sustainable Concrete and Industrial Waste Management summarizes key research trends in recycling and reusing concrete and industrial waste to reduce their environmental impact. This volume also includes important contributions in collaboration with the CRI-TEST Innovation Lab, Naples – Acerra.
Part one discusses eco-friendly innovative cement and concrete and reviews key substitute materials. Part two analyzes the use of industrial waste as aggregates and the mechanical properties of concrete containing waste materials. Part three discusses differences between innovative binders, focusing on alkali-activated and geopolymer concrete. Part four provides a thorough overview of the life cycle assessment (LCA) of concrete containing industrial wastes and the impacts related to the logistics of wastes, the production of the concrete, and the management of industrial wastes.
By providing research examples, case studies, and practical strategies, this book is a state-of-the-art reference for researchers working in construction materials, civil or structural engineering, and engineers working in the industry.
- Offers a systematic and comprehensive source of information on the latest developments in sustainable concrete;
- Analyzes different types of sustainable concrete and innovative binders from chemical, physical, and mechanical points of view;
- Includes real case studies showing application of the LCA methodology.
