Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who are working in the manufacture and development of sustainable construction materials need to have a detailed understanding of the many different processes that are available to make sustainable concrete and cement. New Trends in Sustainable Concrete and Cement will enlighten the scientific community on recent developments in this field. Within the volume world-renowned experts summarize recent research findings covering key topics such as: alkali-activated materials using aluminosilicate waste precursors; use of novel cost-effective and eco-efficient supplementary cementitious materials; state of the art characterization techniques and assessment methodologies; advances on the use of biomass ashes, steel slags and waste glass; the role of carbon capture in the production of concrete and mortar; development of eco-efficient composites for specialized applications; recycling of the fine fraction of construction and demolition wastes; and sustainable self-healing concrete. The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, civil and structural engineers, manufacturers, and other construction professionals working in the development of sustainable construction materials. Presents recent developments on eco-efficient cementitious composites Places an emphasis on complete replacement of cement, with the use of alkali-activated materials Includes novel enhancing techniques, along with 3D printing and characterization methods

Book excerpt: This book, Green Concrete for a Better Sustainable Environment, aims to cover recent advances in the development of green concrete solutions and discuss the best ways to leverage opportunities in this domain. Concrete can be described as green concrete if it has one of the following features; it uses waste material as at least one of its components, its production process does not lead to environmental destruction, or it has high performance and life cycle sustainability. At present, natural resources are running out. Cement and concrete made from industrial and construction waste can be regarded as valuable resources for civil infrastructure construction. Green concrete will not only contribute to a circular economy, but can also help to reduce the amount of embodied energy and CO2 emissions associated with cement manufacturing and aggregate quarrying. Using green concrete can also mitigate the environmental threats associated with industrial waste materials. This book covers the theoretical, experimental, applied and modelling research studies on the materials, products and structures related to sustainable cement-based composites.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Organic Farming: Agronomic Soil Management Practices focuses on the integrated interactions between soil-plant-microbe-environment elements in a functioning ecosystem. It explains sustainable nutrient management under organic farming and agriculture, with chapters focusing on the role of nutrient management in sustaining global ecosystems, the remediation of polluted soils, conservation practices, degradation of pollutants, biofertilizers and biopesticides, critical biogeochemical cycles, potential responses for current and impending environmental change, and other critical factors. Organic farming is both challenging and exciting, as its practice of “feeding the soil, not the plant provides opportunity to better understand why some growing methods are preferred over others. In the simplest terms, organic growing is based on maintaining a living soil with a diverse population of micro and macro soil organisms. Organic matter (OM) is maintained in the soil through the addition of compost, animal manure, green manures and the avoidance of excess mechanization. Presents a comprehensive overview of recent advances and new developments in the field OF research within a relevant theoretical framework Highlights the scope of the inexpensive and improved management practices Focuses on the role of nutrient management in sustaining the ecosystems

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production of Portland cement is responsible for about seven percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. The pressure to make the production of concrete more sustainable, or "greener", is considerable and increasing. This requires a wholesale shift in processes, materials and methods in the concrete industry. Pure Portland cement will need to be replaced by more complex binary, tertiary or even quaternary binders, including other types of cementitious materials. We can expect an increasing use of high performance concrete, primarily because of its high sustainability and durability. Much more attention will have to be paid to the proper curing of the concrete if we want to improve its life expectancy. Presenting the latest advances in the science of concrete this book focuses particularly on sustainability, durability, and economy. It explores the potential for increased sustainability in concrete from the initial mixing right through to its behaviour in complex structures exposed to different types of loads and aggressive environments.
