Multi-functional Concrete with Recycled Aggregates introduces recent research practice on addressing environmental sustainability (e.g., reducing air pollution) while utilizing recycled aggregates from construction demolition (C&D) wastes. The book addresses current state-of-the-art developments surrounding the use of C&D wastes to achieve sustainability. Chapters provide an overview of existing research and practices in traditional recycled aggregate concrete. There are also sections that introduce the latest studies of high-performance concrete adopting recycled aggregates from C&D wastes, the managerial aspects of C&D waste management, policy, managerial perspectives, and the entire waste reuse model. Overall, the book moves a step forward from existing books on recycled aggregate concrete by presenting how recycling C&D wastes in new concrete production could achieve extra environmental or engineering purposes and achieve sustainability from both technical and managerial perspectives. Features state-of-the-art research and practices on adopting construction and demolition (C&D) wastes for production of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) Discusses the managerial aspects of C&D waste management by promoting the usage of different types of RAC from technical, policy, and managerial perspectives Covers the entire waste reuse model to enhance the reuse and recycling rate of C&D wastes Includes recent developments in high-performance RAC and other new functions in RAC (e.g., pervious RAC designed to absorb air pollutants) are also presented Covers state-of-the art research and developments in engineering applications and properties of RAC, such as pervious RAC, self-cleaning RAC and High-performance RAC INDICE: ?IntroductionYidong Xu and Ruoyu Jin Section 1.
