Sustainable construction technologies are not new, but there is still minimal use of recycled aggregate in higher amounts in structural concrete projects. One major reason is the consistent high quality of recycled aggregate conforming to the regulated specification standards. Recycled Concrete: Technologies and Performance presents the latest technologies which can be applied to produce high and consistent quality recycled aggregate as well as its utilization in structural concrete and in alternative binders like Geopolymer and other types of concrete. The book also discusses the lifecycle assessment of implementing sustainable construction technologies and evaluates the environmental impact of recycled concrete for construction applications. The combination of the production of different types of cements, their use in production of durable recycled concrete, their reduced environmental impact, quality improvement techniques of recycled aggregate, effect of deterioration factors on the durability of recycled concrete together with the use of recycled aggregate in Geopolymer concrete and in other alternative binders makes this new book very valuable and relevant for civil and structural engineers, recycle industry managers, ready-mix and precast concrete producers, and researchers.
