Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 14th International Conference on Non-Conventional Materials and Technologies Construction Materials and Technologies for Sustainability (14th NOCMAT 2013) March 24-27, 2013, Joao Pessoa, Brazil. The 84 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Bamboo and Wood; Chapter 2: Earthen Materials and Constructions; Chapter 3: Cement, Mortar and Concrete; Chapter 4: Standards, Guidelines and Policy Issues; Chapter 5: Composites Reinforced with Vegetable Fibers; Chapter 6: Structural Integrity and Durability; Chapter 7: Advances in Research Methodologies and Material Testing; Chapter 8: Recycling of Industrial, Agricultural and Urban Waste; Chapter 9: Affordable Housing Using Low Cost Energy Saving Materials. The 82 papers presented during the March 2013 conference explore new materials manufactured from bamboo, dirt, wood, cement, mortar, concrete, vegetable fibers, agricultural waste, and urban waste. The primarily Brazilian researchers investigate the mechanical behavior of bamboo under compression along the culm, new ways to bond bamboo with concrete, the properties of lime-based mortars made from kaolin waste, the reinforcement of adobe walls with toad rush mesh, and the grinding of residual sugar cane bagasse ash. Other topics include building components made from recycled plastics, peanut husk panels made with castor oil polyurethane adhesive, pastes of plaster with latex of euphorbia tirucalli, and the use of demolition waste in lateritic concrete. -- Composite materials-- Environmental engineering-- Green engineering-- Materials science-- Organic materials-- Textiles.

This book is a platform to publish new progress in the field of materials and technologies that can offer significant developments with the possibility of changing the future. These emerging developments will change the way we live now at an unprecedented pace across our society. It is important to note that such modern developments are no longer restricted to a single discipline, but are the outcome of a multidisciplinary approach, which combines many different engineering disciplines. This book explores the new technology landscape that will have the direct impact on production-related sectors, individually and in combination with different disciplines. A major driver for this actual research is the efficiency, many times connected with a focus on environmental sustainability.

Sustainable Construction Materials: Recycled Aggregate focuses on the massive systematic need that is necessary to encourage the uptake of recycled and secondary materials (RSM) in the construction industry. This book is the fifth and the last of the series on sustainable construction materials and like the previous four, it is also different to the norm. Its uniqueness lies in using the newly developed, Analytical Systemisation Method, in building the data-matrix sourced from 1413 publications, contributed by 2213 authors from 965 institutions in 67 countries, from 1977 to 2018, on the subject of recycled aggregate as a construction material, and systematically analysing, evaluating and modelling this information for use of the material as an aggregate concrete and mortar, geotechnics and road pavement applications. Environmental issues, case studies and standards are also discussed. The work establishes what is already known and can be used to further progress the use of sustainable construction materials. It can also help to avoid repetitive research and save valuable resources. The book is structured in an incisive and easy to digest manner and is particularly suited for researchers, academics, design engineers, specifiers, contractors, and government bodies dealing with construction works. Provides an exhaustive and comprehensively organized list of globally-based published literature spanning 5000 references Offers an analysis, evaluation, repackaging and modeling of existing knowledge that encourages more responsible use of waste materials Provides a wealth of knowledge for use in many sectors relating to the construction profession, including academia, research, practice and adoption of RSM
