Eco-efficient Pavement Construction Materials acquaints engineers with research findings on new eco-efficient pavement materials and how they can be incorporated into future pavements. Divided into three distinctive parts, the book emphasizes current research topics such as pavements with recycled waste, pavements for climate change mitigation, self-healing pavements, and pavements with energy harvesting potential. Part One considers techniques for recycling, Part Two reviews the contribution of pavements for climate change mitigation, including cool pavements, the development of new coatings for high albedo targets, and the design of pervious pavements. Finally, Part Three focuses on self-healing pavements, addressing novel materials and design and performance.
Finally, the book discusses the case of pavements with energy harvesting potential, addressing different technologies on this field.
Offers a clear and concise lifecycle assessment of asphalt pavement recycling for greenhouse gas emission with temporal aspects Applies key research trends to green the pavement industry Includes techniques for recycling waste materials, the design of cool pavements, self-healing mechanisms, and key steps in energy harvesting

Advances in Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling: Digital Technologies, Management, Processing and Environmental Assessment presents recent research in recycling and reuse of concrete and demolition waste in construction applications. The book starts with a detailed introductory section on digital technologies that are used to enhance circularity. Part Two focuses on the management of construction and demolition waste, including estimation of quantities and the use of BIM and GIS tools. Part Three reviews the processing of recycled aggregates, along with the performance of concrete mixtures using different types of recycled aggregates. Part Four looks at the environmental assessment of non-hazardous waste. This book will be a standard reference for civil engineers, structural engineers, architects, and academic researchers working in the field of construction and demolition waste.
Presents cutting-edge research in recycling and reuse of concrete and demolition wasteDiscusses techniques for managing construction and demolition waste, including waste management plans, ways of estimating levels of waste, and types and location of waste recycling plantsReviews key steps in handling construction and demolition wasteContains an entire new section on the use of digital technologies to enhance the circularity of construction and demolition wasteAdditional chapters are included on selective disassembly planning: robots for automatic waste sorting; laser-based sorting; usage of air jigging for multi-component separation of construction and demolition waste; and recycled asphalt (RA) for self-healing pavements

Cost-Effective Energy Efficient Methods for Refurbishment and Retrofitting of Buildings: Materials, Technologies, Optimization, and Case Studies provides up-to-date knowledge on this important research field. Divided over three key parts, the book's chapters cover materials and innovative technologies, optimization strategies, and actual case study applications that highlight the impact of different climatic conditions, social factors, and the economic specifications of each retrofit process. Emphasis is placed on cost efficiency, which is key in any energy retrofit process.Taking into consideration key changes in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive-EPBD and the European Union Green Deal on Refurbishment and Renovation, this book will be a valuable reference resource for materials scientists, architects, civil engineers, and all those working on cost-effective and energy efficient retrofitting and building refurbishment.
Discusses cost-effective energy efficient methods for the refurbishment of existing buildings using state-of-the-art technologiesIncludes detailed case studies that explain various methods and Net Zero EnergyExplains optimal analysis and prioritization of cost-effective strategies
