9780081003916 English 0081003919 Sustainability is an increasingly important aspect of construction. In recent years, serious consideration has been given to environmental and societal issues in the manufacturing, use, disposal and recycling of construction materials. Sustainability of Construction Materials second edition provides comprehensive and detailed analysis of the sustainability issues associated with these materials, mainly in relation to the constituent materials, processing, recycling and life-cycle environmental impacts. The contents of each chapter reflect the individual aspects of the material that affect sustainability, such as the preservation and repair of timber, the use of cement replacements in concrete, the prevention and control of metal corrosion and the crucial role of adhesives in wood products. This book will be essential reading for individuals at all levels who are involved in the construction and selection, assessment and use, and maintenance of materials. Provides helpful guidance on life-cycle assessment, durability, recycling and the engineering properties of construction materials Each chapter addresses a particular category or aspect of sustainability in construction materials The eleven chapters of the first edition have been fully updated to take on board new developments and an additional nineteen chapters have been added to include natural stone, polymers and plastics, and plaster products., Sustainability of Construction Materials, Second Edition, explores an increasingly important aspect of construction.
