Author Description

Eco-efficient concrete is a comprehensive guide to the characteristics and environmental performance of key concrete types.<br><br>Part one discusses the eco-efficiency and life cycle assessment of Portland cement concrete, before part two goes on to consider concrete with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Concrete with non-reactive wastes is the focus of part three, including municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) concrete, and concrete with polymeric, construction and demolition wastes (CDW). An eco-efficient approach to concrete carbonation is also reviewed, followed by an investigation in part four of future alternative binders and the use of nano and biotech in concrete production.<br><br>With its distinguished editors and international team of expert contributors, Eco-efficient concrete is a technical guide for all professionals, researchers and academics currently or potentially involved in the design, manufacture and use of eco-efficient concrete.<br><br><ul><li>The first part of the book examines the eco-efficiency and life cycle assessment of Portland cement concrete</li><li>Chapters in the second part of the book consider concrete with supplementary cementitious materials, including properties and performance</li><li>Reviews the eco-efficient approach to concrete carbonation</li></ul>
