Description

Green Materials in Civil Engineering provides a comprehensive resource for practitioners to learn more about the utilization of these materials in civil engineering, as well as their practical applications. Novel green materials such as fly ash, slag, fiber-reinforced concrete and soil, smart materials, biological materials, and waste materials such as mineral wastes, building and demolition waste, recycled asphalt, coal gangue and industrial by-products are discussed in detail. Emphasis is placed on understanding the qualities, selection criteria, products and applications, durability, life cycle, and recyclability of these materials.

The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, and civil engineers who are working in the development of construction materials, utilization of waste, and other fine by-products in the production of concrete and other construction materials.

Key features

  • Provides an up-to-date and comprehensive resource on the use of green materials in civil engineering
  • Covers green concrete, agricultural waste, industrial by-products, biological and waste materials such as smart materials, microbially generated calcium precipitation, recycled asphalt and natural fibers
  • Discusses selection criteria, durability, lifecycle, recyclability, and regulatory measures
