Green Concrete using Industrial By-Products

Green concrete employing industrial by-products covers the obstacles and knowledge gaps in manufacturing green and sustainable concrete as well as infusing with ground granulated blast furnace slag and paper sludge as a self-curing agent. The book is well-designed to help you learn about green concrete. The book's distinguishing feature is that in addition to a focus on core principles all the topics are expanded according to Indian norms. Test methodologies for material properties mechanical properties durability qualities and microstructural analyses are included in the book. The book has extensive results as well as a snappy conclusion. As a result the book includes in-depth information on the green concrete concept which originated around the turn of the century and attempts to replace the components of regular concrete wholly or partially with waste or recycled resources. Indeed the term green concrete has been broadened to cover not only waste materials but even nano-engineered materials.
