Eco-efficient Rendering Mortars (eBook, ePUB)

Use of Recycled Materials

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Eco-Efficient Rendering Mortars: Use of Recycled Materials focuses on the use of waste materials into cement-based renders, discussing the origins, treatment processes and properties of relevant wastes. The book dispels mistrust through demonstrating the technical feasibility and environmental benefits of eco-efficient rendering mortars. It considers the characteristics of different waste products, such as aggregates, fillers, binders and additions. The functional requirements of renders are also discussed alongside their impact. Finally, the title considers the lifecycle and durability of modified mortars.

This book offers robust support and clear guidance on the use of wastes as a substitute for natural aggregates and binders.

• Presents evidence supporting the use of wastes as a substitute for natural aggregates and binders
• Characterizes wastes and considers how to best incorporate different kinds of waste into renders
• Gives details on the technical efficiency and environmental impact of different waste materials on mortars
• Analyzes the impact of wastes on render performance in terms of fresh state, mechanical, water and durability
• Considers the lifecycle assessment and durability of modified mortars

Autorenporträt

Catarina Brazão Farinha works on incorporating waste in mortars. Her research examines the incorporation of fine ceramic waste in coating mortars. She has published widely, and is completing a doctorate on the incorporation of industrial waste in renders, as a substitute for sand, cement, or both.

Professor Jorge de Brito is Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Georesources at the Instituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal. He has 20 years' experience in sustainable cementitious materials. His work includes coordinating five national and one international research project. He has published over 120 papers in leading journals, 60 conference papers, and 15 book chapters. He holds two patents, and has also written four books.
