Sustainable Construction Materials: Copper Slag, as part of a
series of five, the book aims to promote the use of sustainable
construction materials. It is different to the norm and its
uniqueness lies in developing a data matrix sourced from 400
publications, contributed by 712 authors from 337 institutions in
40 countries from 1964 to 2015, on the subject of copper slag as a
construction material, and systematically, analysisng, evaluating
and modelling this information for use in cement, concrete,
geotechnics and road pavement applications. Related environmental
issues, case studies and standards are also discussed. The work
establishes what is already known and can be used. It would also
help to avoid repetitive research and save valuable resources,
which can instead be directed towards new research to progress the
use of sustainable construction materials. The book is structured
in an incisive and easy to digest manner. As an excellent reference
source, the book is particularly suited for researchers, academics,
design engineers, specifiers, contractors, developers and
certifying and regulatory authorities, seeking to promote
sustainability within the construction sector.
Sustainable Construction Materials: Recycled Aggregate focuses on
the massive systematic need that is necessary to encourage the
uptake of recycled and secondary materials (RSM) in the
construction industry. This book is the fifth and the last of the
series on sustainable construction materials and like the previous
four, it is also different to the norm. Its uniqueness lies in
using the newly developed, Analytical Systemisation Method, in
building the data-matrix sourced from 1413 publications,
contributed by 2213 authors from 965 institutions in 67 countries,
from 1977 to 2018, on the subject of recycled aggregate as a
construction material, and systematically analysing, evaluating and
modelling this information for use of the material as an aggregate
concrete and mortar, geotechnics and road pavement applications.
Environmental issues, case studies and standards are also
discussed. The work establishes what is already known and can be
used to further progress the use of sustainable construction
materials. It can also help to avoid repetitive research and save
valuable resources. The book is structured in an incisive and easy
to digest manner and is particularly suited for researchers,
academics, design engineers, specifiers, contractors, and
government bodies dealing with construction works.
This book is the fourth, in the series of five, on sustainable
construction materials and like the previous three, it is also
different to the norm. Its uniqueness lies in using the newly
developed, Analytical Systemisation Method, in building the
data-matrix sourced from 751 publications, contributed by 1402
authors from 513 institutions in 51 countries, from 1970 to 2017,
on the subject of processed waste glass (glass cullet) as a
construction material, and systematically analysing, evaluating and
modelling this information for use of glass cullet as cement,
aggregate or filler in concrete, ceramics, geotechnics and road
pavement applications. Environmental issues, case studies and
standards are also discussed. The work establishes what is already
known and can be used to further progress the use of sustainable
construction materials. It can also help to avoid repetitive
research and save valuable resources. The book is structured in an
incisive and easy to digest manner and is particularly suited for
researchers, academics, design engineers, specifiers, contractors,
and government bodies dealing with construction works.
