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.

Ilenia Farina
Ilenia Farina received a master's degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Naples “Parthenope” and a postgraduate certificate in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Sheffield (UK); the title of her dissertation was “Plasma treatments of polymers for increased adhesion in composite materials”. In 2012, she graduated in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Salerno, submitting a final project titled “Mechanical properties and manufacturing process of innovative sustainable cementitious materials”. Her research interests cover the development of innovative materials for sustainable construction. She has conducted experiments to demonstrate the use of plastic fibers obtained from waste plastic as dispersed reinforcement in cementitious materials. Furthermore, she has also developed new fiber geometries, with the aim of enhancing the thermo-mechanical performance of fiber- reinforced concrete and mortars. Her current research activity focuses on the development of new fiber-reinforced materials using conventional raw materials as well as inorganic waste materials.
