Synopsis

Recent Developments and Innovations in the Sustainable Production of Concrete covers the various aspects of sources, materials, and waste products in concrete production, innovation in materials-new technological developments, and the upgradation of existing concrete production systems. Importantly, it covers the so-called EEE aspects (Economy, Energy, and Environment), not touched by other books. The books also highlights the sustainability aspects of concrete production when recycled materials are added. Case studies are used to demonstrate the practical aspect of concrete production, including the machine learning approach.

• Includes coverage of sources, materials, and waste products in concrete production
• Provides an overview of the economic, energy, and environment aspects in concrete production
• Shows how machine learning can be used in concrete construction

About the Authors

Dr. Afzal Husain Khan works in the Civil and Architectural Engineering Department at Jazan University, Saudi Arabia. He received his PhD from Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia, and B.E. and M. Tech degrees from the Aligarh Muslim University, India. He is an academic editor of PLOS ONE, Advances in Civil Engineering (Wiley), Associate Editor in TEIEE, and Guest Editor in Elsevier/Springer/Frontiers journals. He has been involved in many funded projects under the Deanship of Scientific Research (DSR) in Saudi Arabia. He has 90+ peer-reviewed publications (h-index >30; >3000+ citations), 4 books (edited), 6 patents, and 5 book chapters to his credit.

Dr Akhtar is based at the University of Malaya Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He is a reviewer for many journals: such as the KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, Material Cycles, and Waste Management, and the International Journal of Pavement Research and Technology. His work on sustainable, self-compacting, and green concrete was published in the Journal of Materials Research and Technology (Elsevier), Construction and Building materials (Elsevier), and the Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management (Springer Japan). Recently, he received the Best Researcher Award for the Academic Year 2021-22 from Fahad Bin Sultan University Tabuk, Saudi Arabia

Professor Bani-Hani, based at the Jordan University of Science and Technology, is active in research in nanotechnology, material science, sustainability, energy harvesting, SHM, structural control, vibration; optimization; soft computing; and experimental methods.

From the Back Cover

Recent Developments and Innovations in the Sustainable Production of Concrete
covers various features of concrete production, such as bacterial calcite precipitation,
self-compacting/healing, geopolymer, and ultra-high-performance, and their practical
applications in modern constructions. It explores the often overlooked EEE aspects (economy,
energy, and environment), making it a unique resource. This book also underscores the
circular economy and sustainability aspects, providing a comprehensive understanding of
the subject.

Key Features
• Includes coverage of sources, materials, and waste products in concrete production
• Provides an overview of concrete production’s economic, energy, and environmental
aspects
• Shows how machine learning can be used in concrete construction
