It presents various production techniques, experimental characterization methods, applications, numerical modeling, and simulation approaches for bio-based and bio-inspired pavement construction materials. The book demonstrates how bio-based and bio-inspired materials can be used in pavements to solve problems related to sustainability while simultaneously enhancing the mechanical properties of materials. Supply chain management, life-cycle analysis, and environmental assessment of using these materials are all covered in this volume as well.
- Covers applications of bio-based and bio-inspired materials, supply chain management, life-cycle analysis, and environmental assessments
- Outlines production methods, experimental characterization techniques, numerical modeling, and simulation approaches for bio-based and bio-inspired materials
- Discusses various sources of bio-materials, including animal waste, wood, plants, and other natural resources
- Studies fabrication procedures such as pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction, thermal carbonation, and thermochemical reaction
Researchers, academics, college students, and industry practitioner interested in sustainability, bio-economy, built environment, engineering, environmental science, resource conservation, and geology.
