Summary
This book explores the use of waste materials, such as post-consumer plastics and by-products from industries like thermal power, agriculture, and metal manufacturing, to create eco-efficient concrete. It details methods for substituting conventional cement with these waste-derived materials, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional building practices. The book covers the full process of developing plastic waste-based concrete, from concept to practical application. It highlights the importance of alternative materials in promoting sustainable construction and examines the economic considerations of implementing eco-efficient concrete on a large scale. The book also presents experimental data, including graphs, to demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of these innovative concrete solutions. Targeted at researchers and graduate students in civil engineering, construction materials, and concrete studies, this resource provides valuable insights for advancing sustainable construction technologies.
