New Trends in Eco-efficient and Recycled Concrete
Description
Key Features
- Focuses on new trends in recycled aggregate concrete and its applications (rather than the more subjective ‘sustainability’ aspects)
- Contains very important contributions from researchers in eco-efficient concrete, including Chi Sun Poon, Jorge de Brito, Valeria Corinaldesi, Francisco Agrela, etc.
- Presents a ‘one stop’ reference for a graduate course on sustainable construction
Readership
Civil and structural engineers, materials scientists, architects and structural designers, environmental engineers
