Innovative Concrete Materials: Geopolymer, Pervious, and Self-Healing Concrete

By Mijia Yang, Gào, ZhiLi (Jerry) Gao

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in advanced concrete materials. One of the fastest growing applications is to enhance durability of concrete materials for maintaining and repairing deficient concrete structures. With the wide demands for vast infrastructure systems, rapid and efficient construction using advanced concrete materials in comparison to the conventional concrete is appealing in many levels.

Innovative Concrete Materials: Geopolymer, Pervious, and Self-healing Concrete focuses on the recent developments and future trends of advanced concrete materials. It covers new concepts of green, pervious, and self-healing concrete materials that have emerged within the past 20 years as well as their mechanisms, modeling, practical applications and construction issues, including inspection and quality control. This book also discusses the recently completed projects sponsored by the North Dakota Department of Transportation, Transportation Research Board, and Minnesota Department of Transportation in which the authors were either PI or co-PI on the projects.
