Features:

• The growing importance of the environmental aspects involved in the production and use of cement, concrete and other building materials
• How substitution of waste materials will conserve dwindling resources, and will avoid the environmental and ecological damages caused by quarrying and exploitation of the raw materials for making cement
• How it will help to solve the problem otherwise encountered in disposing of the wastes

As Waste Materials Used in Concrete Manufacturing explains, these waste materials can partly be used, or processed, to produce materials suitable as aggregates or fillers in concrete.

These can also be used as clinker raw materials, or processed into cementing systems. New grinding and mixing technology will make the use of these secondary materials simpler.

Waste Materials Used in Concrete Manufacturing satisfies the increasing demand for a better understanding of material properties, as well as better control of the microstructure developing in the construction material, to increase durability.

The combination of different binders and modifiers to produce cheaper and more durable building materials is explained and will solve to some extent the ecological and environmental problems.
