The Structural Integrity of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Produced
with Fillers and Pozzolans presents a review on the use of
by-products, fillers and pozzolanic materials in the development of
concrete, with an emphasis on structural integrity. The volume is
broken down into key sections, including a review of the types of
materials that are used as latent hydraulic supplements, fillers
and pozzolans for making recycled aggregate concrete, rheology and
hydration phenomenon, the mechanical and microscale nature of
concrete, and the impact of fillers and pozzolans on the
workability of concrete with case studies. Durability and strength
development are also discussed. The final section looks at issues
such as performance effect, LCA, environmental impact,
sustainability and cost benefit analysis. With detailed case
studies throughout, this volume will provide useful information for
all stakeholders involved in the built environment, including
materials scientists, civil engineers, builders, architects and
policymakers.
Waste and By-Products in Cement-Based Materials: Innovative
Sustainable Materials for a Circular Economy covers various
recycled materials, by-products and wastes that are suitable for
the manufacture of materials within the spectrum of so-called
cement-based materials (CBM). Sections cover wastes for replacement
of aggregates in CBM, focus on the application of wastes for the
replacement of clinker and mineral additions in the manufacture of
binders, discuss the optimization process surrounding the
manufacture of recycled concrete and mortars, multi-recycling,
advanced radiological studies, optimization of self-compacting
concrete, rheology properties, corrosion prevention, and more.
Final sections includes a review of real-scale applications that
have been made in recent years of cement-based materials in roads,
railway superstructures, buildings and civil works, among others,
as well as a proposal of new regulations to promote the use of
waste in the manufacture of CBM.
This book was developed to help students and researchers in the
fields of economics, finance, law and other social science areas to
understand and apply neuroscience. With the use of neuroscience
technologies, it is now possible to understand how people make
decisions in practice, using friendly and ecological experimental
setups. The first half of the book studies the decision-making
process and explains how the brain is organized. It presents the
brain as a distributed processing system, shows how to record brain
activities, and how to combine neurosciences and statistical tools
to design experiments. In the last chapters, experiments on stock
market decision, dilemma judgment, vote decision and understanding
of media propaganda are described and discussed.
