The Path to Green Concrete will enlighten the scientific community on recent developments in this field. Within this 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. This 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.

This book presents the conference proceedings of the F-EIR Conference 2021, Environment Concerns and its Remediation held in Chandigarh, India, October 18-22, 2021. The purpose of the conference and the volume is to present new ideas across a range of disciplines in environmental science, with a focus on theoretical and practical approaches to clean production aimed at preventing the production of waste, while increasing efficiencies in the uses of energy, water, and renewable resources. With contributions from leading experts equipped with state-of-the-art information and technology, the book covers topics of sustainability and resilience, chemical and environmental engineering, materials science, biotechnology, health-related microorganisms, and green technologies. The book will be of interest to scientists, engineering professionals, architects, environmental scientists, academicians, economists, and students engaged in these disciplines. 

Presenting an analysis of different approaches for predicting the service life of buildings, this monograph discusses various statistical tools and mathematical models, some of which have rarely been applied to the field.

This book covers the use of recycled industrial waste as aggregates in concrete, reviewing properties of aggregates and offering procedures for estimating the properties of concrete containing construction and demolition waste in light of codes and practices.
