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.
This volume presents a wide-ranging review of the latest
developments in concrete technology that have been largely missing
from the global conference circuit. It the first major
international event under the auspices of the Institute of Concrete
Technology (ICT) and is appropriately located in the Middle East at
the heart of a construction boom. Themes covered include admixture
technology, durability, mix design, special cements and
supplementary materials, reinforced concrete and sustainability.
The 39 papers provide interesting theory and applicable practice
blended with research findings - from the application of 3D
printing to performance-based specifications and the role of
concrete in the development of Oman - to produce a volume of value
to many engineers and technologists. Founded in 1972, The Institute
of Concrete Technology (ICT)'s mission is to preserve and promote
concrete technology as a recognised engineering discipline and
consolidate the professional status of practising concrete
technologists worldwide.
