Alternative Construction Materials for Structures and Bridges

About this book

Alternative Construction Materials for Structures and Bridges discusses state-of-the-art subjects, such as high-performance concrete, lightweight concrete, self-consolidating rubberized concrete, shape memory alloys, non-metallic reinforcements, and other advanced composites. The book presents a comprehensive overview of the performance of these materials, including mechanical properties, structural responses, durability, failure mechanisms, lifecycle analysis, and design recommendations, thus creating a compelling resource with the purpose of grounding its readers' specialized understanding and driving the application of sought-after knowledge to practical endeavors.Researchers, students, and the structural engineering community of practitioners will find novel ideas to improve the reliability of new constructions and extend the service life of existing structural components through non-conventional materials which also play a crucial role in the minimization of maintenance and rehabilitation frequency, extent, and costs. - Provides a single-point reference for those interested in cutting-edge material technologies for civil and structural engineering applications - Offers much-needed technical knowledge for the accomplishment of a sustainable built environment - Provides essential information on the principles, developments, and implementations of a variety of eco-friendly composites for optimizing the longevity of constructed facilities - Collates valuable, real-world insights from the editorial team's extensive experience in both research and practice
