Sustainable Construction

<p>This book focuses on the utilization of wastes produced from plastic usage by industry and consumers along with the partial to full replacement of conventional cement as a primary binder material in concrete. This book demonstrates how to use post-consumer waste plastics and industry wastes from thermal power stations agro-industries and metal industries with a scientific approach to conventional concrete. The primary aim is to demonstrate the methods to prepare a sustainable alternative construction material of concrete using waste materials.</p><p>Features:</p><ul> <li>Illustrates making eco-friendly procedures of concrete construction popular by way of utilization of plastics and industrial wastes</li> <li>Covers all major aspects of plastic waste-based concrete from conception to execution</li> <li>Promotes alternative materials for sustainable construction</li> <li>Describes economic aspects of using eco-efficient concrete on a mass scale</li> <li>Includes experimental results with graphs</li> </ul><p>This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in civil engineering construction materials and concrete.</p>
