RECENT ADVANCES ON GREEN CONCRETE FOR STRUCTURA...

This book is mainly based on the results of the EU-funded UE-FP7 Project EnCoRe  which aimed to
characterize the key physical and mechanical properties of a novel class of advanced
cement-based materials incorporating recycled powders and aggregates and or natural ingredients
in order to allow partial or even total replacement of conventional constituents. More
specifically  the project objectives were to predict the physical and mechanical performance of
concrete with recycled aggregates  to understand the potential contribution of recycled fibers
as a dispersed reinforcement in concrete matrices  and to demonstrate the feasibility and
possible applications of natural fibers as a reinforcement in cementitious composites. All of
these aspects are fully covered in the book. The opening chapters explain the material concept
and design and discuss the experimental characterization of the physical  chemical  and
mechanical properties of the recycled raw constituents  as well as of the cementitious
composite incorporating them. The numerical models with potentialities for describing the
behavior at material and structural level of constructions systems made by these composites are
presented. Finally  engineering applications and guidelines for production and design are
proposed.
