Recent Developments and Innovations in the Sustainable Production of Concrete
covers various features of concrete production, such as bacterial calcite precipitation,
self-compacting/healing, geopolymer, and ultra-high-performance, and their practical
applications in modern constructions. It explores the often overlooked EEE aspects (economy,
energy, and environment), making it a unique resource. This book also underscores the
circular economy and sustainability aspects, providing a comprehensive understanding of
the subject.

Key Features
• Includes coverage of sources, materials, and waste products in concrete production
• Provides an overview of concrete production’s economic, energy, and environmental
aspects
• Shows how machine learning can be used in concrete construction
