Produktinformationen zu „Sustainable Concrete Solutions (ePub)“
The challenges facing humanity in the 21st century include
climate change, population growth, overconsumption of resources,
overproduction of waste and increasing energy demands. For
construction practitioners, responding to these challenges means
creating a built environment that provides accommodation and
infrastructure with better whole-life performance using lower
volumes of primary materials, less non-renewable energy, wasting
less and causing fewer disturbances to the natural
environment. Concrete is ubiquitous in the built environment.
It is therefore essential that it is used in the most sustainable
way so practitioners must become aware of the range of sustainable
concrete solutions available for construction. While sustainable
development has been embedded into engineering curricula, it can be
difficult for students and academics to be fully aware of the
innovations in sustainable construction that are developed by the
industry.
Sustainable Concrete Solutions serves as an introduction
to and an overview of the latest developments in sustainable
concrete construction. It provides useful guidance, with
further references, to students, researchers, academics and
practitioners of all construction disciplines who are faced with
the challenge of designing, specifying and constructing with
concrete.

engineering, academia and professional bodies in the UK and
overseas. His expertise on sustainable design and construction
using concrete has been developed in posts such as Manager of
Education & Training for The Concrete Centre and Chair in
Structural Engineering Practice at Kingston University London.
Dr Andrew Minson is a Chartered Engineer, Fellow of the
Institution of Civil Engineers and Member of the Institution of
Structural Engineers. He has been Executive Director for the
concrete industry funded research, publishing and training body,
The Concrete Centre, in the UK since 2009 and in this role is
responsible for the UK cement and concrete industry sustainable
construction strategy, which was launched in 2008 and updated in
2012. He was on the buildings task group of the UK Innovation
and Growth Team Low Carbon Construction review published in 2010,
is on the Greening the Industry panel of the UK Green Construction
Board and is a member of the IStructE sustainability
panel. Since completing a doctorate at the University
of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, his 20 years' experience has
been equally split between Arup in building engineering and The
Concrete Centre.
