Sustainable Construction

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.

Features:

• Illustrates making eco-friendly procedures of concrete construction popular by way of utilization of plastics and industrial wastes
• Covers all major aspects of plastic waste-based concrete from conception to execution
• Promotes alternative materials for sustainable construction
• Describes economic aspects of using eco-efficient concrete on a mass scale
• Includes experimental results with graphs

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in civil engineering, construction materials, and concrete.
