520			_a"Until recently, much of the development of building materials has predominantly focused on producing cheaper, stronger and more durable construction materials. More recently attention has been given to the environmental issues in manufacturing, using, disposing and recycling of construction materials. Sustainability of construction materials brings together a wealth of recent research on the subject. Some examples of sustainable building materials include recycled denim or blown-in Fibre glass insulation, sustainably harvested wood, Trass, Linoleum, sheep wool, concrete (high and ultra high performance roman self-healing concrete), panels made from paper flakes, baked earth, rammed earth, clay, vermiculite, flax linnen, sisal, seegrass, expanded clay grains, coconut, wood fibre plates, calcium sand stone, locally obtained stone and rock, and bamboo, which is one of the strongest and fastest growing woody plants, and non-toxic low-VOC glues and paints. The construction industry has been slow to respond to the Corporate Responsibility but increasing regulation in areas such as carbon emissions and waste are forcing companies to improve their processes and many clients are beginning to demand responsible approaches to design and construction. This book explores the concept of sustainability and dwell in detail to the growing popularity of sustainability and its implications for the practice of engineering, particularly for the built environment (civil engineering). At present there is a great boom in the infrastructure industry."--Back cover
