Handbook of Sustainable Concrete and Industrial Waste Management: Recycled and Artificial Aggregate, Innovative Eco-Friendly Binders, and Life Cycle A

Handbook of Sustainable Concrete and Industrial Waste Management: Recycled and Artificial Aggregate, Innovative Eco-friendly Binders, and Life Cycle Assessment discusses eco-friendly, innovative cement and concrete, reviews key substitute materials, analyzes the use of industrial waste as aggregates and the mechanical properties of concrete containing waste materials, discusses the differences between innovative binders, focusing on alkali-activated and geopolymer concrete, provides a thorough overview of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for concrete containing industrial wastes, and discusses impacts related to the logistics of wastes, the production of concrete, and the management of industrial wastes.

By providing research examples, case studies, references and practical strategies, this book is a state-of-art reference for researchers working in construction materials, civil or structural engineering, and for engineers working in the industry.
