Thus, the requirement to execute the design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering structures and infrastructures as sustainably as possible are big challenges currently faced by civil and geotechnical engineers. This book, compiling the papers published during the 2020-2021 biennium in the Topical Collection, "Sustainability in Geotechnics: The Use of Environmentally Friendly Materials", is intended help tackle those challenges. Several topics are covered by the 23 papers published herein, including: sustainable ground improvement techniques; replacement of raw materials such as soils and aggregates by recycled materials; soil reinforcement with alternative materials; sustainable solutions using geosynthetics; low-carbon solutions for stabilization of contaminated soils; and bioengineering techniques to prevent soil erosion. The Guest Editor expects that this book can be very useful towards the achievement of more environmentally friendly solutions, in particular in the field of geotechnical engineering.Sustainability in GeotechnicsHistory of engineering & technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscbase course reinforcementbioengineering techniquesBland-Altman analysiscarbon emissionsCDWcementclimatological conditionscompositecompressive strengthcopper slagdesorptiondewateringdiffusiondrained testdurabilityeCO2embodied energyenergy consumptionenvironmentally friendly materialsenzyme solutionsexpansive soilsextractantfatigue lifefield testfine-grained soilfly ashgeogridgeogrid-reinforced soil structuregeogridsgeomembranegeopolymergeopolymersgeosyntheticsgeotechnical propertiesgeotextile tubesgeotextile-polynorbornene linergeotextilesgreen infrastructureground improvementground remediationgypsumHDPEheavy metal immobilizationheavy metalsincinerator bottom ashinterface shear strengthlaboratory testlarge-direct shear testlateritic soilleachateleachate analysislife cycle assessmentlimelinerslocal strainlow carbon materialsmaximum dry unit weightmechanical damagemechanical propertymicrobial induced carbonate precipitationmicrostructureoil-contaminated soilsoptimum moisture contentpavement geotechnicspavementspermeability alterationPET bottlesphytosanitary aspectspollutant adsorptionpolymer dosingpolypropylene fiberspolypropylene stripsPROMETHEEpullout behaviourpullout test parametersrecycled aluminum salt slagrecycled construction and demolition materialsrecycled materialrecycled materialsrecycled pet stripsrecycled wasteresilient modulusresponse surfacesewageshear strengthslope's superficial erosionsludgesmall-strain stiffnesssoda residuesoilsoil improvementsoil stabilizationsoil-cementstrengthstress-dilatancysubgradesubstitute building materialsustainability benefitssustainability in geotechnical engineeringsustainability in geotechnicssustainable engineeringsustainable ground improvementsustainable ground remediationsustainable remediationsustainable reuse of plastic wastethermal analysistire-derived aggregatetirestotal solidstriaxial testuniaxial testsvegetative cover indexwaste valorizationwastesHistory of engineering & technologyTechnology: general issuesVieira Castorina Silvaedt1314099Vieira Castorina SilvaothBOOK9910566464503321Sustainability in Geotechnics: The Use of Environmentally Friendly Materials3031705UNINA
