Acerca de este libro electrónico

""Eco Concrete"" addresses the critical need for sustainable construction materials by exploring alternatives to traditional concrete. Given concrete production's significant contribution to global carbon dioxide emissions—approximately 8%—the book investigates methods to reduce its environmental impact. It focuses on two primary strategies: integrating supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) like fly ash and slag, which are byproducts from other industries, and developing entirely new binder systems such as geopolymers and magnesium oxide-based concretes. These alternatives not only lower carbon emissions but can also enhance concrete's strength and durability.

The book uniquely emphasizes the long-term durability of these sustainable alternatives, considering factors like resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and chemical attacks, which are vital for ensuring the long-term viability of infrastructure. Through a comprehensive review of research, laboratory data, field studies, and lifecycle assessment (LCA) reports, ""Eco Concrete"" provides a fact-based technical approach suitable for students, engineers, and policymakers.

Beginning with a historical overview and the science of cement hydration, the book dedicates chapters to specific alternatives, progresses through their production processes, and concludes with performance evaluations. The value of this book lies in its interdisciplinary approach, drawing connections between material science, civil engineering, environmental science, and economics. By presenting case studies and economic considerations, ""Eco Concrete"" aims to bridge the gap between research and practical application, promoting the widespread adoption of sustainable concrete for a more environmentally responsible future.
