Author: Gajanan M. Sabnis (Editor) | Size: 6.77 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2011 | pages: 317 | ISBN: 1439812969
This book provides the most recent information about concrete’s history in the green building movement, state-of-the-art methodologies, and best practices. The history of cement manufacturing and the use of concrete are discussed to provide a context for today’s current practices. Continuing pressures on the construction industry to reduce waste have resulted in an increase in the amount of concrete that is recycled or reused Refurbishing or reusing structures is the least waste option This book outlines the variety of ways that concrete is easily and affordably reused. Work is under way within the precast industry with the aim of making it possible to lease concrete products so that they can be returned and/or reused.
