The industry has a great deal of responsibility for sustainable development. This book demonstrates the importance of sustainable thinking, examines the range of challenges facing the concrete engineer, and outlines how they can be addressed. It balances account resource availability, technical viability, economical feasibility, environmental sustainability and social responsibility. It presents a holistic view of the environmental challenges and conveys the complexity of the topic, while giving examples of good practice in various aspects from around the world--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $aIn view of the development of world concrete and construction, we see an evolution of the focus in the direction of: Safety Durability Serviceability/Functionality Sustainability It is important in this context to learn at least two things: - All the focuses in the evolution process are closely linked to each other and function upon need instead of occurring and existing independently or replacing one by another. - The latest developed focus - Sustainability is not only evolved from the previous focuses but works as a function of them as well. We therefore believe that sustainability is not only an environmental performance, it is indeed a holistic thinking/approach that can be considered as the function of safety, durability, functionality and economical feasibility, environmental compatibility and social responsibility. The level/magnitude of each focus to sustainability varies depending on the specific requirement of the target and local boundary conditions--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aConcrete construction 606 $aConcrete$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aSustainable construction 615 0$aConcrete construction. 615 0$aConcrete$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aSustainable construction. 676 $a624.1/8340286 676 $a624.18340286 686 $aTEC005000$aTEC063000$2bisacsh 700 $aJahren$b Per.$01061007 701 $aSui$b Tongbo$01548443 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787577503321 996 $aConcrete and sustainability$93805475 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01236oam 2200409zu 450 001 9910873083003321 005 20241212215207.0 035 $a(CKB)111085500351298 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000506967 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12165567 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000506967 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10515973 035 $a(PQKB)10439933 035 $a(NjHacI)99111085500351298 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111085500351298 100 $a20160829d2003 uy 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$a2003 Computers in Cardiology 210 31$a[Place of publication not identified]$cI E E E$d2003 215 $a1 online resource (xxvii, 829 pages) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9780780381704 311 08$a078038170X 606 $aCardiology$xData processing$vCongresses 606 $aPatient monitoring$xData processing$vCongresses 615 0$aCardiology$xData processing 615 0$aPatient monitoring$xData processing 676 $a616.12002854 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aPROCEEDING 912 $a9910873083003321 996 $a2003 Computers in Cardiology$92503877 997 $aUNINA
