Recent Trends in the Sustainability Improvement and Use of Wastes in Cementitious Materials: Utilization of Wastes and Locally Sourced Materials focuses on recent advances in the sustainability improvement of cementitious materials, increasing sustainability awareness in the construction industry alongside known detrimental environmental impacts of various cementitious material components, especially Portland cement which has resulted in increased research and development of sustainable alternatives.

The book introduces and classifies sustainable initiatives while highlighting their current challenges and future developments, offering theoretical knowledge and a practical approach to how various types of locally generated wastes or materials can be utilized to improve the sustainability of cementitious materials.

Divided over seven key sections: Partial replacement of Portland cement as a binder; Total replacement of Portland cement as a binder; Use of waste products as aggregate; Use of waste products as reinforcement; Life cycle assessment of cementitious materials; Numerical analysis and prediction of sustainable cementitious materials; and Case studies of practical applications of sustainable cementitious materials the book will be a valuable reference resource for academic researchers, materials scientists and engineers, civil and structural engineers, R&D managers, and manufactures working in the development of construction materials, as well as practitioners working in environmental sustainability.
