The amendments in typical microbial induced soil stabilization by low-grade chemicals, biopolymers and other additives: A review -- Chapter 5. An Overview of Factors influencing Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation for its Field Implementation -- Chapter 6. Life Cycle Assessment of Concrete Masonry Units with Waste Paper Fibres -- Chapter 7. Soil pH and its Significance as Ecological Material: Perspectives and Implications -- Chapter 8. A review on coupled phenomena in aquifers from the perspective of geological storage of carbon dioxide with ecological significance -- Chapter 9. A review on role of enzymes and microbes in healing cracks in cementitious materials -- Chapter 10. A socio-ecological perspective on green urbanisation and urban ecological intensification. This book uses theories, hypotheses, policies, practical insights and case studies to introduce and elucidate green building materials for sustainable construction. Cement is the most widely used building material in construction; however, it is not sustainable, being responsible for 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions and consuming huge quantities of energy. In order to limit the ecological damage, sustainable building materials are needed. Ecosystems are a source of important lessons and models for transitioning the built environment onto a sustainable path that opens options for sustainable building material in construction. The book provides a guide for readers seeking knowledge on sustainable building materials with the potential to lower environmental impact by reducing CO2 emission throughout the building’s lifecycle. The book is motivated by recent rapid advances in sustainable building materials production, including green building materials made of industrial by-products and recycled wastes, earth materials, plant-based materials, microbial-based materials or supplementary cementitious materials, to reduce the environmental impacts of traditional building materials. Discussing the development and applications of various sustainable building materials, including related case studies, and addressing the environmental issue with a holistic and systematic approach that creates an ecology of construction for sustainability in infrastructures, it offers promising solutions to achieve renewable and sustainable building materials for the future. |
