Sustainable Construction: Development of Eco-Efficient Concrete with Plastic and Industrial Wastes [Hardcover]

This book focuses on the utilization of the wastes produced from plastic usage by industry and consumers along with the partial to full replacement of conventional cement as a primary binder material in concrete. The primary aim is to show the methods to prepare a sustainable construction alternative material of concrete using waste materials.
