The Handbook of Sustainable Concrete and Industrial Waste Management summarizes key research trends in recycling and reusing concrete and industrial waste to reduce their environmental impact. This volume also includes important contributions in collaboration with the CRI-TEST Innovation Lab, Naples – Acerra.
Part one discusses eco-friendly innovative cement and concrete and reviews key substitute materials. Part two analyzes the use of industrial waste as aggregates and the mechanical properties of concrete containing waste materials. Part three discusses differences between innovative binders, focusing on alkali-activated and geopolymer concrete. Part four provides a thorough overview of the life cycle assessment (LCA) of concrete containing industrial wastes and the impacts related to the logistics of wastes, the production of the concrete, and the management of industrial wastes.
By providing research examples, case studies, and practical strategies, this book is a state-of-the-art reference for researchers working in construction materials, civil or structural engineering, and engineers working in the industry.
- Offers a systematic and comprehensive source of information on the latest developments in sustainable concrete;
- Analyzes different types of sustainable concrete and innovative binders from chemical, physical, and mechanical points of view;
- Includes real case studies showing application of the LCA methodology.
About the Author
Francesco Colangelo is a Full Professor of Materials Science and Technology at the Parthenope University of Naples in Italy. His main research work covers the recycling of waste materials in concrete especially for geo-environmental and civil engineering applications and the application of life cycle assessment methodology in the preparation of innovative building materials.
Raffaele Cioffi has a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II. He is Professor of Materials Science and Technology and Materials Engineering at the University of Naples “Parthenope”, Naples, Italy. He has been the Head of the Department of Technology and the director of the Research Quality Centre of the University of Naples "Parthenope". He has been the director of the Sustainable Development Engineering Laboratory of the Department of Technology, the president of the Teaching Board for the Industrial Engineering Course, and he is the coordinator of the Technical and Scientific Committee for the Master Course in Safety Engineering of the University of Naples " Parthenope". He is the vice-president of the Italian Association on Materials Engineering (AIMAT).
Ilenia Farina received a master's degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Naples “Parthenope” and a postgraduate certificate in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Sheffield (UK); the title of her dissertation was “Plasma treatments of polymers for increased adhesion in composite materials”. In 2012, she graduated in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Salerno, submitting a final project titled “Mechanical properties and manufacturing process of innovative sustainable cementitious materials”. Her research interests cover the development of innovative materials for sustainable construction. She has conducted experiments to demonstrate the use of plastic fibers obtained from waste plastic as dispersed reinforcement in cementitious materials. Furthermore, she has also developed new fiber geometries, with the aim of enhancing the thermo-mechanical performance of fiber- reinforced concrete and mortars. Her current research activity focuses on the development of new fiber-reinforced materials using conventional raw materials as well as inorganic waste materials.
