Introduction

With the current emphasis on sustainable construction, there is now a move towards using non-hazardous waste materials and by-products as binders in making self-compacting concrete.

Overview of the Book

Alternative Cementitious Materials for Self-Compacting Concrete provides a detailed review on the various properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) and how they are affected by the use of by-products and waste materials in concrete production.

The book offers a fair comparison on the application and use of various types of materials in SCC. It also provides the latest data and detailed information on modeling and soft computing techniques for estimation of the various properties of SCC, as well as detailed investigations on microstructural characterization.

Target Audience

The book will be a valuable reference resource for materials scientists, civil and structural engineers working in construction materials and self-compacting concrete, as well as for those working in the cement production and non-hazard waste industries.
