This volume comprises the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Calcined Clays for Sustainable Concrete held in New Delhi, India in October 2019. The papers cover topics related to geology of clay, hydration and performance of blended systems with calcined clays, alkali activated binders, and economic and environmental impacts of the use of calcined clays in cement-based materials. The book presents research on influence of processing on reactivity of calcined clays, influence of clay mineralogy on reactivity, geology of clay deposits, and the environmental impact of use of calcined clays in cement and concrete and field applications of calcined clay in concrete. Apart from giving an overview of the progress of research during the last two years, this work also covers the state-of-the art on the practical aspects of production and use of calcined clays in construction. The contents of this volume will prove useful to researchers and graduate students working in the areas of cement chemistry, cement production, and concrete design.

This book presents selected papers from the Global Conference on Green Construction Materials and Practices 2025 (GCGC 2025) during February 5–6 in Karachi, Pakistan. The conference contributions include academics and industry practitioners from the cement and concrete sectors, discussing the sustainability of the construction sector by fostering collaborative scientific discussions and promoting eco-friendly materials in alignment with practices of green construction. The topics discussed are mainly divided into 3 main thematic topics (1) Green Construction Materials—Innovative/Sustainable Construction Materials, Properties of Low-Carbon Cement, Composites and Concrete, Chemical Additives for Low-Carbon Cement and Concrete; (2) Sustainable Construction—Low-Carbon and Sustainable Construction Practices, Circular Economy in Construction, Life-Cycle Assessment and Environmental Impact; (3) Case Studies and Best Practices—Policies and Regulations, Advanced Modeling and Simulation Techniques, Renewable Energy Integration, Energy Efficiency. This book offers a timely reference for both academics and professionals in the broad field of green construction.
