The principal aim of this book is to provide an overview on the recycling of various by-product materials generated from industrial, agricultural, and post-consumer activities and their possible recycling for the use in the concrete industry. These by-product materials include coal combustion by-products, wood/bio-mass ash, pulp and paper industry by-products, foundry by-products, metallurgical by-products, municipal solid waste materials, used tires, plastics, glass, recycled concrete pavements, recycled asphalt pavement, construction and demolition debris, limestone quarry dust, cement kiln dust, rice-husk ash, wheat-straw ash, waste-washed water, and other similar materials. For each by-product material, production, properties, and potential applications in the manufacture of cement-based construction materials and its environmental impact are briefly addressed. The information and data contained in the book have been selected from a wide variety of international sources. The authors are confident that this book will be very useful for practicing engineers, the student community, academicians, researchers, environmental regulatory authorities, and environmentally conscious construction industries.
