Alternative Cementitious Materials for Self-Compacting Concrete 1st Edition

Alternative Cementitious Materials for Self-Compacting Concrete, 1st Edition by Yogesh Aggarwal, Paratibha Aggarwal, Parveen Sihag, and Ahmed Mohammed delivers a timely, practical guide for engineers, researchers, and construction professionals seeking sustainable, high-performance solutions for modern concrete technology.

This authoritative work explores the promise of alternative cementitious materials—such as fly ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag, silica fume and calcined clays—and their role in producing self-compacting concrete (SCC) that combines superior workability with long-term durability. Clear explanations of material properties, mix-design strategies, testing protocols, and performance indicators help readers translate research into on-site practice.

Designed for busy practitioners and postgraduate students, the book balances rigorous technical insight with hands-on guidance. Learn how alternative binders can reduce costs, lower embodied carbon, and improve rheology and finishability of SCC in diverse climates and project types. Regional considerations and case-oriented perspectives make this title particularly valuable for professionals working across South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and beyond where SCC adoption and sustainable construction are accelerating.

Whether you’re specifying mixes, conducting lab trials, or advising on sustainable infrastructure, this book equips you with the evidence-based knowledge to make informed material choices. Practical, current and relevant to global construction trends, it’s an essential reference for anyone committed to advancing concrete technology responsibly.
