Valorization of Dredged Sediments as Sustainable Construction Resources

Valorization of Dredged Sediments as Sustainable Construction Resources  provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of research on the  reuse of sediments as a raw material for civil engineering fields.  Dredging is increasing in scale worldwide, while deep sea disposal is  being eliminated and landfill disposal is becoming less sustainable. Yet  these sediments offer a potentially useful resource for constructing  pavements, soil, bricks, ceramic and clinker, for they provide fine and  lightweight aggregates, supplementary cementitious materials and  geopolymer binders. This has sparked considerable research on  valorization, which is presented here.

Covers the main re-uses of sediments and the valorization required
Focuses on state-of-the-art research on practical guidance
Discusses limitations and future perspectives for sediments valorization
The  book suits researchers and students working in the area, as well as  industrial engineers and professionals working on recycling and  dredging.
