Description

Alternative Cementitious Materials for Self-Compacting Concrete provides a detailed review on the various properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) and how they are affected by the use, of by-products and waste materials in concrete production. The book provides a fair comparison on the application and use of various types of materials in SCC. In addition, it includes the latest data and detailed information on modeling and soft computing techniques for the estimation of various properties of SCC as well as detailed investigations on microstructural characterization.

This book will be a valuable reference resource for materials scientists, and civil and structural engineers working in construction materials and self-compacting concrete, as well as for those working in the cement production and non-hazard waste industries.

Key features

  • Includes detailed information on modeling and computational techniques for estimating SCC properties
  • Provides comprehensive information on the use of waste materials and by-products in self-compacting concrete
  • Covers comprehensive information on the different properties of SCC

Readership

Materials scientists, civil and structural engineers working in construction materials and self-compacting concrete, cement production industry, environmental scientists, and non-hazard waste industries, Masters and post-doctorate students in construction materials and civil engineering.
