Couverture de l’ouvrage Use of Recycled Plastics in Eco-efficient Concrete

Use of Recycled Plastics in Eco-efficient Concrete looks at the processing of plastic waste, including techniques for separation, the production of plastic aggregates, the production of concrete with recycled plastic as an aggregate or binder, the fresh properties of concrete with plastic aggregates, the shrinkage of concrete with plastic aggregates, the mechanical properties of concrete with plastic aggregates, toughness of concrete with plastic aggregates, modulus of elasticity of concrete with plastic aggregates, durability of concrete with plastic aggregates, concrete plastic waste powder with enhanced neutron radiation shielding, and more, thus making it a valuable reference for academics and industrial researchers.

1. Introduction to the use of recycled plastics in eco-efficient concrete 2.Techniques for separation of plastic wastes 3. Hydraulic separation of plastic wastes 4. Production of recycled polypropylene (PP) fibers from industrial plastic waste through melt spinning process 5. Fresh properties of concrete containing plastic aggregate 6. Mechanical strength of concrete with PVC aggregates 7. Characteristics of concrete containing EPS 8. Lightweight concrete with polyolefins as aggregates 9. Properties of concrete with plastic polypropylene aggregates 16. Concrete reinforced with metalized plastic waste fibers 17. Performance of concrete with PVC fibres 18.

He is a member of the editorial boards for nine international journals. Over the last 10 years he has participated in the research decision for more than 460 papers and has also acted as a Foreign Expert on the evaluation of 22 PhD thesis. Over the last 10 years he has also been a Member of the Scientific Committees for more than 60 conferences, most of them held in Asian countries. He is also a grant assessor for several scientific institutions in 15 countries, including the UK, US, Netherlands, China, France, Australia, Kazakhstan, Belgium, Spain, Czech Republic, Chile, Saudi Arabia, UA. Emirates, Croatia, Poland, and the EU Commission. In the last 10 years, he reviewed more than 70 research projects.
Professor Jamal Khatib is Chair of Civil Engineering at the Beirut Arab University, in the Lebanon and Emeritus Professor at the University of Wolverhampton, UK. His research interests are sustainable construction materials,
structural materials; using waste in construction, lightweight aggregates, admixtures and novel materials in construction applications.
Francesco Colangelo is a Full Professor of Materials Science and Technology at the Parthenope University of Naples in Italy. His main research work covers the recycling of waste materials in concrete especially for?geo-environmental and civil engineering applications?and the application of life cycle assessment methodology in the preparation of innovative building materials.
Dr. Rabin Tuladhar is an Associate Professor and Head of Engineering in the College of Science and Engineering at James Cook University, Australia.
