The book introduces and classifies sustainable initiatives while highlighting their current challenges and future developments, offering theoretical knowledge and a practical approach to how various types of locally generated wastes or materials can be utilized to improve the sustainability of cementitious materials.
Divided over seven key sections: Partial replacement of Portland cement as a binder; Total replacement of Portland cement as a binder; Use of waste products as aggregate; Use of waste products as reinforcement; Life cycle assessment of cementitious materials; Numerical analysis and prediction of sustainable cementitious materials; and Case studies of practical applications of sustainable cementitious materials the book will be a valuable reference resource for academic researchers, materials scientists and engineers, civil and structural engineers, R&D managers, and manufactures working in the development of construction materials, as well as practitioners working in environmental sustainability.
- Focuses on sustainable cementitious materials developed over the last 30 years
- Provides a comprehensive overview of alkali-activated materials
- Employs a global rather than regional approach
- Acknowledges the presence of life cycle assessment of sustainable cementitious materials
- Presents case studies on the practical applications of sustainable cementitious materials and discusses various ways to improve and assess the sustainability of these materials
Academic researchers, materials scientists and engineers, civil and structural engineers, R&D managers, and manufactures working in the development of construction materials, practitioners working in environmental sustainability and postgraduate students in all of the above-listed disciplines
