Sustainable Materials in Civil Infrastructure (eBook)

Sustainable Materials in Civil Infrastructure covers the latest breakthroughs in innovative eco-materials and poses solutions for resilient and sustainable infrastructure. The book provides valuable insights into innovative research studies on eco-materials used for construction applications, which will provide researchers with a useful reference guide on recycled steel, low-carbon concrete, bio-concrete, self-healing concrete, and industrial by-products such as fly ash, natural geosynthetic fibres, and shape memory alloys for infrastructure development. The chapters cover design applications of bio-concrete, and usage of eco-materials in landfill liners and masonry. The book clearly identifies the issues that remain as obstacles for the large-scale use of green concrete, and bio-concrete and provides practical solutions to overcome them. The chapters create a knowledge base for the development of sustainable design methodologies that are widely accepted among various environmental monitoring/controlling bodies throughout the world. - Cutting-edge design methodologies incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence - Coverage of biogeotechnics, landfill, and waste-to-energy techniques - Focus on emerging trends in eco-efficient concrete solutions
