Multi-functional Concrete with Recycled Aggregates (Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering)

Multi-functional Concrete with Recycled Aggregates introduces recent research practice on addressing environmental sustainability (e.g., reducing air pollution) while utilizing recycled aggregates from construction demolition (C&D) wastes. The book addresses current state-of-the-art developments surrounding the use of C&D wastes to achieve sustainability. Chapters provide an overview of existing research and practices in traditional recycled aggregate concrete. There are also sections that introduce the latest studies of high-performance concrete adopting recycled aggregates from C&D wastes, the managerial aspects of C&D waste management, policy, managerial perspectives, and the entire waste reuse model. Overall, the book moves a step forward from existing books on recycled aggregate concrete by presenting how recycling C&D wastes in new concrete production could achieve extra environmental or engineering purposes and achieve sustainability from both technical and managerial perspectives.
