The Structural Integrity of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Produced with Fillers and Pozzolans presents a review on the use of by-products, fillers and pozzolanic materials in the development of concrete, with an emphasis on structural integrity. The volume is broken down into key sections, including a review of the types of materials that are used as latent hydraulic supplements, fillers and pozzolans for making recycled aggregate concrete, rheology and hydration phenomenon, the mechanical and microscale nature of concrete, and the impact of fillers and pozzolans on the workability of concrete with case studies. Durability and strength development are also discussed.

The final section looks at issues such as performance effect, LCA, environmental impact, sustainability and cost benefit analysis. With detailed case studies throughout, this volume will provide useful information for all stakeholders involved in the built environment, including materials scientists, civil engineers, builders, architects and policymakers.

Advance Upcycling of By-products in Binder and Binder-Based Materials focuses on research trends in binder and binder-based materials containing by-products. The book covers the properties of these materials, both physical and mechanical, and their durability, as well as their inner structure, both at the micro and nano-scale. The reuse of by-products within binder systems is also discussed as well as innovative approaches and advanced solutions for making cost-, ecology-, and environmental-friendly hydraulic binder and binder-based materials from the upcycling of by-products. The book also looks at additive manufacturing and explains the effects of by-products on the properties of binder and binder-based materials.

As a consequence of the popularity of additive manufacturing, various by-product materials, in terms of constructional application, are also identified. These include latent hydraulic supplements, activators of transport properties, and increase in inner strength and durability.� The book will be an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and civil engineers and all those who are working in the development of 'greener' construction materials and utilization of waste and other fine by-products in the production of environmentally-friendly concrete.

The environmental impact of the common binders used in construction materials is usually evaluated through life-cycle assessment (LCA), which is an effective process to measure the service life of construction materials. As construction materials are wood-based, they need flame retardants and various other additives to develop the desired features, which are added during the manufacturing process of construction materials. This makes the materials less environment-friendly and greenhouse gas emitters. The LCA of construction materials made of biodegradable binders, such as starch (flour-, corn-, and potato-based starch), and fibers, such as oat, hemp, and flax shives, has shown that they have less harmful effects on the environment than the conventional construction materials.

This book provides an advanced overview of formaldehyde-free binder and materials based on it, including the procedures and prescriptions for their application. It discusses the synthesis of materials, measurement of the physical and mechanical properties as well as the durability, and analysis of the inner structure of such materials. It presents innovative approaches and advanced solutions to manufacture cost-effective as well as ecologically and environmentally friendly formaldehyde-free hydraulic binder and binder-based materials, using common construction binders and biodegradable binders. As adhesive manufacturing is gaining popularity, this book identifies various formaldehyde-free hydraulic binders and binder-based materials for constructional applications. It also provides information on the most suitable materials and their manufacturing techniques and applications.
