Nonconventional and Vernacular Construction Materials:
Characterisation, Properties and Applications provides a
comprehensive repository of information on materials science and
the modern structural engineering application of ancient,
vernacular, and nonconventional building materials, with leading
experts contributing chapters that focus on current applications
and the engineering of these construction materials. Opening with a
historic retrospective of nonconventional materials, Part One
includes a review of vernacular construction and a discussion of
the future directions for nonconventional and vernacular materials
research and applications. Chapters in Part Two focus on natural
fibers, including their application in cementitious composites,
non-cementitious composites, and strawbale construction. In Part
Three, chapters cover the use of industrial by-products and natural
ashes in cement mortar and concrete, and construction using
soil-cement blocks, clay-based materials, adobe and earthen
materials, and ancient stone masonry. Timber, bamboo, and paper
construction materials are investigated in the final section of the
book.
