Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does hydration affect the performance of concrete, including its setting, strength, and durability? Can advanced hydration models be developed that will allow practitioners to input the composition of cement, supplementary cementitious materials, and admixtures, combined with temperature, and receive guidance on a pavement's expected performance? Answering these questions is the goal of the Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program project "Mechanisms of Hydration and Setting of Ordinary Portland Cement in Simple and Complex Systems." Princeton University is conducting this research, which is funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Research partners for the project are the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST); Oklahoma State University; Rice University; University of California, Santa Barbara; and W.R. Grace and Company.

This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concrete is a material used widely in building and construction applications worldwide; hence, it plays a significant role in the global construction sector. Cement is a major component of concrete and is used in construction applications, either on its own or as a composite with other materials, to improve workability, durability, strength, weight, and shrinkage. However, cement and concrete production and use have adverse environmental effects. Thus, great efforts have been made to produce eco-friendly concrete. This book examines several aspects of sustainable concrete technologies, including new forms of concrete as well as different approaches for creating sustainable cement.

This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen enormous advances in the technology of concrete as a material, through which its strength, compactness and ductility can reach levels never dreamed of before. Thanks to these improved material properties, the strength and durability of concrete structures is greatly improved, their weight and dimensions reduced, the scope of concrete as a structural material is widened and – despite the higher material costs – overall economy is possible, with positive impacts on sustainability as well. Similar advances are underway in reinforcing materials, notably high strength steel and fibre-reinforced polymers, and in the way they are combined with concrete into high performance structures. Developments in materials and equipment, as well as new concepts, have lead to innovative construction techniques, reducing cost and construction time and making possible the application of concrete under extreme conditions of construction or environment. All these advances will be highlighted in the book by the top experts in the field of concrete structures, namely those currently active in the field’s leading and truly international scientific and technical association: the International Federation of Structural Concrete (fib) www.fib-international.org. Audience: Practicing engineers and firms, academics, researchers and graduate students, will all find the book timely, informative and very interesting.

Book excerpt: Concrete Solutions contains the contributions from some 30 countries to Concrete Solutions, the 6th International Conference on Concrete Repair (Thessaloniki, Greece, 20-23 June 2016). Strengthening and retrofitting are major themes in this volume, with NDT and electrochemical repair following closely, discussing the latest advances and technologies in concrete repair. The book brings together some interesting and challenging theoretical approaches and questions if we really understand and approach such topics as corrosion monitoring correctly. Concrete Solutions is an essential reference work for those working in the concrete repair field, from engineers to architects and from students to clients. The Concrete Solutions Series of international conferences on concrete repair began in 2003 with a conference held in St. Malo, France in association with INSA Rennes. Subsequent conferences have seen the Series partnering with the University of Padua (Italy) in 2009, with TU Dresden (Germany) in 2011 and with Queen’s University Belfast (Northern Ireland) in 2014. In 2016 Thessaloniki (Greece) hosted the conference, partnering with both Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) and Democritus University of Thrace (DUTH). The next conference in the series will be held in 2019 in Istanbul.

Book excerpt: Concrete is by far the most common building material— accounting for twice the volume of all other such materials combined. With such a huge global economic impact, the industry has a correspondingly considerable responsibility to use it sustainably. Written by experts who pioneered research into environmental issues and concrete, Concrete and Sustainability examines the sustainability issues of the world’s main construction material and proposes attainable solutions. It provides a complete overview of the topic and tackles the complexity of the challenges from different angles. This book offers new data regarding the social and economic importance of concrete and proposes a discussion centered on a holistic approach in terms of resource availability, technical viability, economic feasibility, and environmental compatibility. The authors attribute a growing worldwide concern and understanding of sustainability issues, and an increased focus on climate change as the catalyst in this process. Instead of offering detailed technical advice or recommendations on sustainable issues, they provide examples showcasing sustainability efforts taking place in the concrete environment worldwide. The book includes examples and ideas for solutions from a large number of countries from across the globe. It presents a holistic and more complete overview of the emission and absorption topic, takes a look at the challenges from a combined old and new world viewing platform and offers an exploration of issues from a social and economic perspective. Concrete and Sustainability details the various rules and regulations that the industry is facing, discusses the various environmental challenges, and explores its impact. As emission, absorptions, and recycling have been the most central elements of discussion in the cement and concrete environment so far, these topics each receive their own chapters. This book also discusses other issues of concern within the various platforms in the industry, as well as future developments, and provides a comprehensive reference list.

This book was released on 2024-04-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the fast rise of urbanization in recent decades, environmental sustainability is a critical element that researchers and the building industry should not overlook. The growing level of concrete production worldwide, which uses a lot of natural resources, demonstrates the need for a sustainable approach via the use of alternative materials and lowering the CO2 footprint. The global concept of sustainable development covers all areas: from development policy to adequate waste management, research and development, the environment, industrial development, and the transition from a linear economy to a circular one. In this context, the creation of eco-friendly cementitious composites with applicability in the construction industry, which is intelligently designed and has durability characteristics superior to conventional composites, must be a permanent focus of researchers worldwide.
