✦ Synopsis
Книга дает описание современных строительных технологий и материалов с точки зрения их экологической эффективности. Она охватывает последние результаты в этой области, особенно аспекты токсичности, энергоемкости строительства, использование отходов в производстве бетонных, стенных материалов, армированных растительных волокон, земельных конструкций, аспекты долговечности, а также важность нанотехнологии для разработки более экологически чистых материалов.
Eco-efficient Construction and Building Materials provides essential reading about materials for the construction industry in the twenty-first century. It covers the latest findings in the field, especially the toxicity aspects, embodied energy, construction and demolition wastes, the use of wastes in concrete, masonry units, materials reinforced with vegetable fibres, earth construction, the durability aspects, and also the importance of nanotechnology to the development of more environmentally-friendly materials. Based on more than nine hundred references, Eco-efficient Construction and Building Materials is of fundamental importance to academics, engineers and architects who are dedicated to the creation of a greener and more holistic construction industry.
