Global environment is getting increasingly heated up by Green House Gases (GHG) mainly carbondioxide due to economic development and changing life styles. It is essential to control this pattern of climate change through sustainable development for the survival of future generations. Concrete is widely used material on earth only next to water and responsible for about 7% of global contribution of GHG. Authors in this book have highlighted various measures to reduce GHG emissions in production and use of concrete and to make it more durable, economical and sustainable.

This is the 1st Indian book on Concrete Sustainability and written with a view of Indian conditions and construction practices. The book lucidly covers all phases in the life of concrete from Cradle to Grave. It is believed that the book will make positive contribution in addressing the burning issue of climate change and sustainability and will be well received by civil engineering professionals and academicians alike in India and abroad.
