Abstract

Comprehensive guide to the characteristics and environmental performance of key concrete types. Discusses the eco-efficiency and life cycle assessment of Portland cement concrete, then considers concrete with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and concrete with non-reactive wastes. An eco-efficient approach to concrete carbonation is also reviewed, followed by an investigation of future alternative binders and the use of nano and biotech in concrete production. Contents: Part 1 Eco-efficiency of Portland cement concrete; Part 2 Concrete with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs); Part 3 Concrete with non-reactive wastes; and Part 4 Future alternative binders and use of nano and biotech.
