This book explores novel sustainable masonry innovations in design optimization, bio-based materials, and industrial waste valorization. Part I investigates novel structural strategies--topological interlocking blocks modeled and fabricated in UHPC with an MCDM framework for reusability, a PRISMA-guided review of hygrothermal performance in insulated composite masonry, and a self-sensing brick system enabling continuous structural health monitoring. Part II delves into bio-reinforcements: Juncus-fiber-stabilized compressed earth blocks, fiber-reinforced soil units, glycoprotein stabilizers inspired by termite mounds, lime-hemp and sugarcane bagasse insulation for CEB walls, waste-glass-infused clay bricks, and rice-husk-ash geopolymer blocks. Part III valorizes community and industrial by-products--paper, plastics, bagasse ash, marble and stone dust, coal ash--into fired and unfired masonry, and applies geopolymers to stabilize earth materials. Across experimental research, systematic reviews, full-scale testing, and case studies, it advances durable, high-performance bricks and blocks with reduced environmental impact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodhead Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47728863543447,"sku":"9780443403897","price":19011.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780443403897.webp?v=1777274784","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/advances-in-sustainable-masonry-bricks-and-blocks-design-optimization-bio-based-materials-incorporation-and-industrial-waste-valorization-9780443403897","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
