      Multiscale Modelling of Concrete covers all things concrete, including comprehensive discussions on this multi-phase and multi-scale material that is difficult to model and understand due to its heterogeneity. Thus, knowing the properties and modeling concrete in different scales is essential to predict properties and fracture. Most of the research has been focused on meso scale, or the methods available to model and predict micro-scale properties are not linked to experimental methods, so properties for microscale cannot be derived and it is onerous to validate such methods.Considering the above constraints, the book covers different modelling techniques of scales of concrete - macro, meso, micro/nano and molecular level, characterizing mechanical properties and parameters required for modelling using macro and micro level experiments and linking these levels using analytical and numerical methods to upscale results from micro to the macro level.

      In response to the urgent need for achieving carbon neutrality in the construction industry, with Biochar-Based Cement and Concrete for Sustainable Construction, an international group of experts has set out to provide a timely, comprehensive overview of biochar-enhanced cementitious materials. Although the method is relatively new, extensive research has been conducted in recent years to systematically gather information proving biochar as an ideal medium for carbon sequestration when used as an engineered additive in cementitious materials, but also to strengthen concrete in many key dimensions via enhancements to hydration and integration into the hardened matrix.The volume stands out as an invaluable resource that offers up-to-date guidance on eco-efficient construction materials’ manufacturing and practical application examples backed by considerations regarding their environmental soundness. At the same time, it stimulates research into future developments with relevance to interdisciplinary audiences both in academia and industry.
