Facets of a Smart City: Computational and Experimental Techniques for Sustainable Urban Development
A smart city uses technology to provide services and solve problems to improve urban policy efficiency, reduce waste, improve quality of life, and maximize social inclusion. By 2050, 66% of the world’s population is expected to be urban, which is a key driver of a global trend toward the creation of smart cities. This trend creates many opportunities for urban planning committees to learn how to design, modernize, and operate smart cities intelligently and effectively. Facets of a Smart City: Computational and Experimental Techniques for Sustainable Urban Development is a collection of topics that are relevant to the design of a smart city. This book aims to complement technical journal ar...
Green Materials in Civil Engineering
Green Materials in Civil Engineering provides a comprehensive resource for practitioners to learn more about the utilization of these materials in civil engineering, as well as their practical applications. Novel green materials such as fly ash, slag, fiber-reinforced concrete and soil, smart materials, carbon fibre reinforced polymers, waste materials, biological materials, and waste materials such as building and demolition waste, recycled asphalt, and industrial by-products are discussed in detail. Emphasis is placed on understanding the qualities, selection criteria, products and applications, durability, life cycle, and recyclability of these materials.The book will be a valuable refere...

Material and Energy Recovery from Solid Waste for a Circular Economy
Material and Energy Recovery from Solid Waste for a Circular Economy describes solid waste to material and energy recovery to bridge the gap between theoretical possibilities and on-field criticalities. It deals with various resource recovery possibilities from numerous waste streams such as municipal solid, hazardous waste, human faecal sludge, construction and demolition waste, and electronic waste. The practical issues of resource recovery and possible remedies derived through onsite practice and experience are incorporated. It includes real-life feasibility analysis and implementation of waste-to-energy systems supported by case studies. Features: Provides comprehensive discussion on both energy and material recovery Addresses the missing linkage between the techno-commercial feasibility of existing systems and environmental impact Discusses techno-commercial feasibility and environmental impacts Offers balance between theoretical knowledge sharing and practical execution-related issues Includes case study, LCA, and technical feasibility chapters This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in environmental, civil, and chemical engineering.
