The Path to Green Concrete will enlighten the scientific community on recent developments in this field. Within this volume, world-renowned experts summarize recent research findings covering key topics such as: alkali-activated materials using aluminosilicate waste precursors; use of novel cost-effective and eco-efficient supplementary cementitious materials; state of the art characterization techniques and assessment methodologies; advances on the use of biomass ashes, steel slags and waste glass; the role of carbon capture in the production of concrete and mortar; development of eco-efficient composites for specialized applications; recycling of the fine fraction of construction and demolition wastes; and sustainable self-healing concrete. This book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, civil and structural engineers, manufacturers, and other construction professionals working in the development of sustainable construction materials.
