Synopsis
Eco-efficient concrete is a comprehensive guide to the characteristics and environmental performance of key concrete types. Part one discusses the eco-efficiency and life cycle assessment of Portland cement concrete, before part two goes on to consider concrete with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Concrete with non-reactive wastes is the focus of part three, including municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) concrete, and concrete with polymeric, construction and demolition wastes (CDW). An eco-efficient approach to concrete carbonation is also reviewed, followed by an investigation in part four of future alternative binders and the use of nano and biotech in concrete production. With its distinguished editors and international team of expert contributors, Eco-efficient concrete is a technical guide for all professionals, researchers and academics currently or potentially involved in the design, manufacture and use of eco-efficient concrete.

Newspapers & Magazines
"Practising engineers....would undoubtedly find it to be an interesting glimpse into the future for concrete materials".

Ian Sims, director of RSK Environment Ltd, UK for the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Construction Materials, Volume 167 Issue 5, 2014

"...this book adds new technologies and strategies aimed at providing and maintaining ecologically acceptable concrete and its derivatives...This indexed book will appeal not only to concrete product developers, researchers and teachers of concrete technology, but also to those with a materials curiosity about concrete."

Peter Hewlett, University of Dundee for Magazine of Concrete Research, Volume 6, Issue 2, 2014

"Eco-efficient concrete, which compiles together reviews of a wide range of technologies and strategies, enables the concrete technologist to be in a better position for producing and developing ecologically friendly concrete."

Professor Arnon Bentur, Israel Institute of Technology (from the Foreword)
