The challenges facing humanity in the 21st century include
climate change, population growth, overconsumption of resources,
overproduction of waste and increasing energy demands. For
construction practitioners, responding to these challenges means
creating a built environment that provides accommodation and
infrastructure with better whole-life performance using lower
volumes of primary materials, less non-renewable energy, wasting
less and causing fewer disturbances to the natural environment.
Concrete is ubiquitous in the built environment. It is therefore
essential that it is used in the most sustainable way so
practitioners must become aware of the range of sustainable
concrete solutions available for construction. While sustainable
development has been embedded into engineering curricula, it can be
difficult for students and academics to be fully aware of the
innovations in sustainable construction that are developed by the
industry.
"Sustainable Concrete Solutions" serves as an introduction to
and an overview of the latest developments in sustainable concrete
construction. It provides useful guidance, with further references,
to students, researchers, academics and practitioners of all
construction disciplines who are faced with the challenge of
designing, specifying and constructing with concrete.
