Author of Sustainable Construction and Building Materials


Dr. Bibhuti Bhusan Das is presently an Affiliate Professor on the Nationwide Institute of Know-how Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal. Earlier than becoming a member of NITK, he served as Heart Head for the Nationwide Institute of Construction Administration and Analysis, Goa and Indore campuses.

He has labored as a Postdoctoral Analysis Affiliate and Adjunct College Member within the Division of Civil Engineering at Lawrence Technological College, Southfield, Michigan.

His analysis focuses on the sustainability of building and constructing supplies, which embody the microstructure characterization of supplies, nondestructive testing of concrete buildings, corrosion of reinforcement and sturdiness research on concrete, and sustainability in building mission administration.

He’s an Affiliate Member of the American Concrete Institute and a part of the Worldwide College Community Committee launched by the ACI Schooling Basis in 2009. He additionally serves on the editorial board or as a reviewer for a lot of nationwide and worldwide journals.

Dr. Narayanan Neithalath obtained his Ph.D. from Purdue College in 2004, specializing in civil engineering supplies.

His analysis focuses on the event and characterization of sustainable infrastructural supplies, with an emphasis on a “materials-by-design” strategy utilizing novel instruments of fabric characterization, at completely different size scales, that are primarily based on electron and X-ray imaging, electrical impedance, NMR, and indentation.

He has revealed 100 papers in worldwide journals, together with a number of convention proceedings, and has been a keynote speaker at varied conferences.

He’s a recipient of a number of awards for novel materials design and is Editor of ASCE Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering. At the moment, he’s serving as Professor on the Faculty of Sustainable Engineering and the Constructed Surroundings, Arizona State College.

Preface to Sustainable Construction and Building Materials


Portland cement concrete is essentially the most extensively used building materials on the planet, with about 10 billion tons of the fabric produced yearly. Concrete is an indispensable constituent of modern-day buildings and infrastructure, which ensures financial improvement.

Roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, high-rise buildings, and vitality buildings depend on concrete for a lot of the structural parts due to the cost-effectiveness, sturdiness, and versatility of this materials. The world consumption of portland cement, which is the foremost manufactured constituent in concrete, is slated to achieve roughly 4.

4 billion metric tons by 2020, with India producing round 270 million metric tons in 2017, which was thrice the manufacturing of the USA.

It’s well-known that the manufacturing of portland cement will not be with out detrimental environmental penalties—attributed partly to the discharge of about 0.8 tons of CO2 for each ton of cement produced and partly to the impacts of quarrying and the consumption of non-renewable pure assets.

This has resulted within the seek for extra sustainable means of manufacturing high quality concrete for a lot of purposes. Components comparable to fly ash, a waste materials from coal-fired energy crops, and slag, a waste materials from metal manufacturing, have discovered use in concrete and have been efficiently carried out in concrete building for over 4 many years.

Of late, newer supplies together with geopolymers (or alkali-activated supplies) have stretched the boundaries of fly ash use in concrete to the purpose the place binding supplies may be created with out using portland cement.

Different partial cement substitute supplies are additionally in use, pushed by the necessity to enhance concrete efficiency and sturdiness, improve the sustainability of concrete, and present native options to the ever-increasing drawback of waste administration.

Analysis and improvement within the space of sustainable building and constructing supplies are increasing at a fast tempo, particularly in nations like India and China, the place there’s a want for giant volumes of concrete and waste or by-product supplies are considerable.

With extra analysis comes a greater and refined understanding of the affect of supplies on the concrete efficiency in addition to its impression on the setting.

This guide thus comes at an opportune time, the place a lot of analysis papers on sustainable building and constructing supplies, significantly within the Indian context, are compiled for the good thing about researchers, practitioners, and industries.

It’s anticipated that the matters and concepts put ahead on this publication will assist improve the visibility of analysis occurring in India on these essential areas and assist the business acquire insights into growing new and sustainable supplies for the ever-increasing demand for infrastructural supplies.
