Sustainable Use of New and Recycled Materials in Coastal and Fluvial Construction by Neal Masters Pdf

Interest in sustainable development and environmental issues is intensifying. The environmental performance of the construction industry and the impact that construction materials have on the environment throughout their life cycle is increasingly under the scrutiny of local, national and international environmental pressure groups and consequently the general public.Sustainable use of new and recycled materials in coastal and fluvial construction gives practical guidance on how to apply the principles of sustainable construction in coastal and fluvial construction by assessing the environmental impacts of the alternative project options.

Whole Life Costs and Project Procurement in Port, Coastal and Fluvial Engineering by Jonathan Simm,Neal Masters Pdf

Whole life costing is not a new concept. However, thinking about costs has traditionally been segregated into boxes of capital, maintenance, operational and disruption costs, a split often emphasised by divisions of responsibility within organisations. This guide provides the necessary advice and date to break down the barriers between cost boxes so that costs can be considered holistically. This leads to more informed project decisions and can reduce costs over the life of an asset.

Manual on the Use of Timber in Coastal and River Engineering by Matt Crossman,Jonathan Simm Pdf

This informative manual has been designed to provide guidance on the principal issues surrounding the use of timber in coastal and river engineering. For centuries timber has traditionally been used for the construction of a wide range of coastal and river structures including: groynes, jetties, lock gates, navigation aids and riverbank protection. It is an attractive choice of construction material because it is renewable, is easy to use, repair and recycle, has a high strength/weight ratio and is visually appealing.

Environmental Management in Construction by Heng Li,Zhen Chen Pdf

Demands on the construction industry are changing, and it is now virtually essential for environmental management to be considered at all stages of a project. Many construction managers are finding a quantitative approach useful, and this book outlines four quantitative methods which can be applied at different construction stages, and which fit within a comprehensive framework of dynamic Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). These include: a method to quantitatively evaluate and reduce pollution and hazards levels a method to evaluate the environmental-consciousness of proposed construction plans a method to reduce on-site construction wastes through an incentive reward programme a method to promote C and D waste exchange in the local construction industry. With an experimental case study of the application of these methods, this book delivers a comprehensive review of environmental management issues in construction. With regulatory requirements potentially favouring the quantitative approach, this timely guide ensures that contractors will be able to keep pace with environmental management standards.

Re-use of Construction and Demolition Waste in Housing Developments by Vivian M. Tam,Vivian W. Y. Tam,Chi Ming Tam Pdf

Most books available in the market related to this area consider the use of recycled aggregate only for low-grades of concrete applications. This book presents a thorough analysis of structural and high-grade concrete applications. The use of recycled aggregate concrete is the new trend in construction.

Sustainable Use of Traditional Geomaterials in Construction Practice by Anonim Pdf

Geomaterials derived from the Earth’s crust and used in construction after appropriate processing are among the earliest raw materials exploited, processed and used by humans. Their numerous functional properties include accessibility, workability and serviceability, and these are explored within this volume. In modern society, sustainable use of raw materials, specifically those exploited in large volumes such as geomaterials for construction, raises questions of reducing extraction of primary resources and thus minimizing impacts on natural systems, and also employment of materials and technologies to lower emissions of deleterious substances into the atmosphere. This will be possible only if we fully understand the properties, processing and mode of use of traditional geomaterials. Although most of the papers within this volume were written by geologists, the contributions will also be of interest to those working in cultural heritage, monument conservation, civil engineering and architecture.

Application of Waste Materials in Lightweight Aggregates by Franus Małgorzata Pdf

Application of Waste Materials in Lightweight Aggregates presents the current state of knowledge on aggregates production methods, their characteristics, current standards and legal regulations. In addition, the book briefly discusses the issue of the presence of different types of waste in the environment (including municipal, agricultural, energy and mining industries), their characteristics and uses for the production of lightweight aggregates. This book serves as a source of academic information on the course and conditions of using various waste treatment processes for academics, engineers, professionals and students interested in environmental engineering, as well as for companies dealing with recycling and disposal of waste.

Building Materials for Sustainable and Ecological Environment by Varenyam Achal,Chee Seong Chin Pdf

This book uses theories, hypotheses, policies, practical insights and case studies to introduce and elucidate green building materials for sustainable construction. Cement is the most widely used building material in construction; however, it is not sustainable, being responsible for 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions and consuming huge quantities of energy. In order to limit the ecological damage, sustainable building materials are needed. Ecosystems are a source of important lessons and models for transitioning the built environment onto a sustainable path that opens options for sustainable building material in construction. The book provides a guide for readers seeking knowledge on sustainable building materials with the potential to lower environmental impact by reducing CO2 emission throughout the building’s lifecycle. The book is motivated by recent rapid advances in sustainable building materials production, including green building materials made of industrial by-products and recycled wastes, earth materials, plant-based materials, microbial-based materials or supplementary cementitious materials, to reduce the environmental impacts of traditional building materials. Discussing the development and applications of various sustainable building materials, including related case studies, and addressing the environmental issue with a holistic and systematic approach that creates an ecology of construction for sustainability in infrastructures, it offers promising solutions to achieve renewable and sustainable building materials for the future.
