Description
Low Carbon Concrete is a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing environmentally responsible concrete practices in construction. Authored by renowned experts Ravindra K Dhir and Kevin A Paine, this ICE Publishing title addresses the critical challenge of reducing carbon emissions in the concrete industry, which accounts for a significant portion of global CO2 emissions.
The book examines alternative materials, supplementary cementitious materials, recycled aggregates, and innovative production techniques that can substantially lower the environmental impact of concrete. It combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications, making it an essential resource for engineers, architects, contractors, and policymakers. The content covers sustainability metrics, lifecycle assessments, and regulatory frameworks governing low-carbon concrete production.
This authoritative work bridges the gap between environmental responsibility and structural performance, demonstrating that sustainable concrete does not compromise quality or durability. It serves as both a technical reference and a strategic guide for the construction industry’s transition toward greener building practices.
