Sustainable Construction Materials: Sewage Sludge Ash

This book, as part of a series of five, aims to promote the use of sustainable construction materials. It is different to the norm and its uniqueness lies in developing a data matrix sourced from 525 publications, contributed by 1107 authors from 442 institutions in 48 countries from 1970 to 2016, on the subject of sewage sludge ash as a construction material, and systematically analysing, evaluating and modelling this information for use in cement, concrete, ceramics, geotechnics and road pavement applications. Related environmental issues, case studies and standards are also discussed. The work establishes what is already known and can be used. It would also help to avoid repetitive research and save valuable resources, which can instead be directed towards new research to progress the use of sustainable construction materials. The book is structured in an incisive and easy to digest manner. As an excellent reference source, the book is particularly suited for researchers, academics, design engineers, specifiers, contractors, developers, and certifying and regulatory authorities, seeking to promote sustainability within the construction sector. Provides an extensive source of valuable database information, supported by an exhaustive and comprehensively organised list of globally-based published literature spanning over 40-50 years, up to 2016, with >5000 referencesOffers an analysis, evaluation, repackaging and modelling of existing knowledge, which should help to encourage better and more responsible use of waste materials in constructionProvides a wealth of knowledge for use in many sectors relating to the construction profession INDICE: Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Methodology Chapter 3 Sewage Sludge Ash Production Chapter 4 Sewage Sludge Ash Characteristics Chapter 5 Concrete Related Applications Chapter 6 Ceramic Applications Chapter 7 Geotechnical Applications Chapter 8 Road Pavements Chapter 9 Environmental Assessment, Case Studies and Standards Chapter 10 Epilogue
