Concrete is one of the most widely used building materials in the world, but its production and disposal also have significant environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, and the depletion of natural resources. In this comprehensive and accessible book, you'll learn about the impact of concrete on the environment and discover alternative materials that offer a more sustainable future for construction. In 11 chapters, you'll learn about the unique properties of each alternative material, and the factors that are driving their adoption. The book also covers the challenges and opportunities for reducing the environmental impact of concrete, from optimizing its production processes to recycling and reusing waste concrete. This book aims to provide a clear and concise overview of the environmental impact of concrete and the alternatives available, empowering you to make informed decisions about how to build a more sustainable future.
