Concrete is by far the most common building material- accounting
for twice the volume of all other such materials combined. With
such a huge global economic impact, the industry has a
correspondingly considerable responsibility to use it sustainably.
Written by experts who pioneered research into environmental issues
and concrete, Concrete and Sustainability examines the
sustainability issues of the world's main construction material and
proposes attainable solutions. It provides a complete overview of
the topic and tackles the complexity of the challenges from
different angles. This book offers new data regarding the social
and economic importance of concrete and proposes a discussion
centered on a holistic approach in terms of resource availability,
technical viability, economic feasibility, and environmental
compatibility. The authors attribute a growing worldwide concern
and understanding of sustainability issues, and an increased focus
on climate change as the catalyst in this process. Instead of
offering detailed technical advice or recommendations on
sustainable issues, they provide examples showcasing sustainability
efforts taking place in the concrete environment worldwide. The
book includes examples and ideas for solutions from a large number
of countries from across the globe. It presents a holistic and more
complete overview of the emission and absorption topic, takes a
look at the challenges from a combined old and new world viewing
platform and offers an exploration of issues from a social and
economic perspective. Concrete and Sustainability details the
various rules and regulations that the industry is facing,
discusses the various environmental challenges, and explores its
impact. As emission, absorptions, and recycling have been the most
central elements of discussion in the cement and concrete
environment so far, these topics each receive their own chapters.
This book also discusses other issues of concern within the various
platforms in the industry, as well as future developments, and
provides a comprehensive reference list.
