Environmental Geotechnics: Waste and Geotechnical Stabilization

This book addresses the most important and current issues of waste valorization, geotechnical stabilization of different waste types, alternative binders to Portland cement, and metal encapsulation of residues as important strategies for sustainable engineering practice. The development of alkali-activated binders from different wastes (e.g., industrial and agro-industrial wastes, mining tailings, and red ceramic) and their applications are discussed in several chapters. These new alkaline ...
