About this ebook
Geopolymer Concrete: Advancements in Performance and Sustainability is a thorough guide on a research topic in which incremental progress has been made in recent years. The book opens with fundamental information, such as properties and production (both design and manufacturing techniques). It then includes various applications and useful LCA analysis. Recent advances with a particular focus on improvements in durability, strength, and thermal performance are discussed next, with valuable data supplied by real-world case studies. Considerations related to the material's environmental impact, challenges, barriers to its adoption, and other insights into current standards and regulations conclude the coverage.This multifaceted resource serves not only as a unique source of information for readers in academia and industry seeking to stay current in their field, but may also prove to be worthwhile reading for those professionals responsible for better and more sustainable construction enterprises. - Provides detailed information on the production of geopolymer bricks, including the use of different types of raw materials and binders as well as various manufacturing techniques - Offers comprehensive coverage of applications of geopolymer bricks (for commercial, residential, or infrastructure construction purposes) and other areas of significant research interest, such as geopolymer bricks' properties - Outlines the benefits of using geopolymer brick technology with a discussion on the latest developments in the field, giving readers an in-depth understanding of not only the current state-of-the-art but also future research directions
