    BIOPOLYMERS AND BIOTECH ADMIXTURES FOR ECO-EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
    PACHECO-TORGAL, FERNANDO / IVANOV, VOLODYMYR / KARAK, NIRANJAN / JONKERS, HENK
    Since 1930 more than 100,000 new chemical compounds have been developed and insufficient information exists on the health assessment of 95 percent of these chemicals in which a relevant percentage are used in construction products. For instance Portland cement concrete, the most used material on the Planet (10.000 million tons/year that in the next 40 years will increase around...

    ECO-EFFICIENT MASONRY BRICKS AND BLOCKS: DESIGN, PROPERTIES AND DURABILITY
    PACHECO-TORGAL, FERNANDO / LOURENÇO, P.B. / LABRINCHA, J.A. / KUMAR, S
    Masonry walls constitute the interface between the building’s interior and the outdoor environment. Masonry walls are traditionally composed of fired-clay bricks (solid or perforated) or blocks (concrete or earth-based), but in the past (and even in the present) they were often associated as needing an extra special thermal and acoustical insulation layer. However, over more re...

    HANDBOOK OF ALKALI-ACTIVATED CEMENTS, MORTARS AND CONCRETES
    PACHECO-TORGAL, FERNANDO / LABRINCHA, JOÃO / LEONELLI, C / PALOMO, A / CHINDAPRASIT, P
    This book provides an updated state-of-the-art review on new developments in alkali-activation. The main binder of concrete, Portland cement, represents almost 80% of the total CO2 emissions of concrete which are about 6 to 7% of the Planet’s total CO2 emissions. This is particularly serious in the current context of climate change and it could get even worse because the demand...
