Woodhead Publishing Sustainable Concrete Made with Ashes and Dust from Different Sources: Materials, Properties and Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering)

Product Description Sustainable Concrete Made with Ashes and Dust from Different Sources: Materials, Properties and Applications focuses on individual materials, addressing material characterization, their role in the strength and durability of construction materials, and structural applications. Each chapter reflects the current state-of-the-art in terms of the effective and efficient use of the material. Types of ashes covered are Coal Fly Ash, Coal Bottom Ash, Bagasse Ash, MSW Ash, Red Mud, Waste Marble Dust, Sewage Sludge Ash, and Cement Kiln Dust. This book is useful for civil engineers in the design and development of sustainable concrete by utilizing such types of ashes and researchers involved in the design and formulation of new cementitious materials. Review Focuses on the utilization of ashes and dust produced from various sources From the Back Cover <p>There are several types of ashes and dust which are generated in large volumes and they can create serious environmental issues when disposed. Utilization of such materials not only reduces the burden on the environment, but also reduces the cost of concrete/construction materials, by being used as partial replacement of either cement or fine/coarse aggregates or both. <i>Sustainable Concrete Made with Ashes and Dust from Different Sources</i> focuses on the individual materials and addresses material characterization, their role in the strength and durability of construction materials, and structural applications.
