Beskrivning
Recent Trends in the Sustainability Improvement and Use of Wastes in Cementitious Materials: Utilization of Wastes and Locally Sourced Materials delves into modern advancements aimed at enhancing the sustainability of cementitious materials. With increasing awareness in the construction sector about the environmental repercussions of traditional cement, particularly Portland cement, the book explores various sustainable alternatives. By presenting theoretical foundations and practical applications, it outlines how waste products and local materials can be integrated into cementitious materials to mitigate environmental impact.
The book is divided into seven key sections: partial and total replacement of Portland cement as a binder, use of waste products as aggregate and reinforcement, life cycle assessment, numerical analysis, and case studies. It provides a comprehensive reference for academic researchers, materials scientists, engineers, R&D managers, and practitioners focusing on environmental sustainability in construction.
- 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
