Sustainable Novel Alternatives to Natural Sand in Concrete Manufacturing: Recent Developments and Innovations discusses sustainable sand alternatives for making new concrete: natural sand sources, treatment technologies, and the harmful effect of excessive extraction of natural river sand on the natural environment. The book examines current research on sustainable sand alternatives for making new concrete. It also highlights the concept of sustainability measurement and economic analysis for concrete production when sustainable sand is utilized
