Also, the detailed discussions on the novel and greener construction materials and their utilization as an alternative to the conventional harmful existing methods and materials are also presented in the subsequent chapters. This book helps to fill the research gaps in the existing prior-art knowledge in the field of sustainable construction and green building materials and methods giving due importance to ecology and health, specifically to the fields of sustainable structural engineering, sustainable geotechnical engineering, sustainable road engineering, etc. This book helps in achieving a sustainable environment through possible adoption of innovative and ecological construction practices. Hence, this book acts as a practical workbook, mainly for the academicians and practicing engineers who are willing to work toward the consecrated building industry. It is a well-established fact that the constructions of the engineering structures consume more and more earth resources than any other human activities in the world. In addition, the construction-related activities will produce several million tons of greenhouse gases, toxic emissions, water pollutants, and solid wastes. This creates a huge impact on environment and causes severe health issues on humans and animals. It is thus important to create an eco-friendly construction environment which can satisfy the ecological and health requirements. 606 $aBuildings$xDesign and construction 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aCivil engineering 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aBuilding Construction and Design 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings 606 $aCivil Engineering 606 $aBuilding Materials 606 $aEnvironmental Management 615 0$aBuildings$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aCivil engineering. 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 14$aBuilding Construction and Design. 615 24$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 615 24$aCivil Engineering. 615 24$aBuilding Materials. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 676 $a690.0286 702 $aMalik$b Junaid Ahmad$f1987- 702 $aMarathe$b Shriram 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910522942403321 996 $aEcological and Health Effects of Building Materials$92591613 997 $aUNINA
