Mitigating Urban Pollution through Innovative Use of Construction Materials
With increases in world population and a growing trend of people moving to urban areas, there has been an associated increase in urban pollution. This chapter explores the various ways that urban pollution may be reduced through the use of waste and recycled materials in construction projects and the use of innovation in construction. Reducing the amount of cement used in construction can have a positive impact on the environment. This can be achieved by replacing the cement with appropriate waste, such as pozzolanic and other materials. Waste clay is generated in urban areas in various places such as the tunnelling operation and other excavation activities. Recent research suggests that waste clay can be used in the production of lightweight aggregates through calcination. In some urban areas, in order to deal with the large amounts of municipal solid waste sent to landfill, it is incinerated.
