Description
Description
Sustainable Concrete Materials and Structures focuses on recent research progress and innovations in this important field of research. All aspects of the technical routes to sustainable concrete and structures are discussed in detail. These include recent findings on sustainable concrete production and structural design and construction. Low-carbon cement, sustainable concrete mix design, durability, and structural applications are discussed in detail. Emphasis is placed on how to bring some of the innovations in concrete technology closer to market. Information on techno-economic analysis, economy of scale, and the supply chain of sustainable concrete is also addressed.
The book will be an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers working in civil engineering, material science, chemical engineering, and the development and manufacture of construction materials.
