This book is mainly based on the results of the EU-funded UE-FP7
Project EnCoRe, which aimed to characterize the key physical and
mechanical properties of a novel class of advanced cement-based
materials incorporating recycled powders and aggregates and/or
natural ingredients in order to allow partial or even total
replacement of conventional constituents. More specifically, the
project objectives were to predict the physical and mechanical
performance of concrete with recycled aggregates; to understand the
potential contribution of recycled fibers as a dispersed
reinforcement in concrete matrices; and to demonstrate the
feasibility and possible applications of natural fibers as a
reinforcement in cementitious composites. All of these aspects are
fully covered in the book. The opening chapters explain the
material concept and design and discuss the experimental
characterization of the physical, chemical, and mechanical
properties of the recycled raw constituents, as well as of the
cementitious composite incorporating them. The numerical models
with potentialities for describing the behavior at material and
structural level of constructions systems made by these composites
are presented. Finally, engineering applications and guidelines for
production and design are proposed.
