Nonconventional and Vernacular Construction Materials: Characterisation, Properties and Applications, Second Edition covers the topic by taking into account sustainability, the conservation movement, and current interests in cultural identity and its preservation. This updated edition presents case studies, information on relevant codes and regulations, and how they apply (or do not apply) to nocmats. Leading international experts contribute chapters on current applications and the engineering of these construction materials. Sections review vernacular construction, provide future directions for nonconventional and vernacular materials research, focus on natural fibers, and cover the use of industrial byproducts and natural ashes in cement mortar and concrete.

  • Takes a scientifically rigorous approach to vernacular and non-conventional building materials and their applications
  • Includes a series of case studies and new material on codes and regulations, thus providing an invaluable compendium of practical knowhow
  • Presents the wider context of materials science and its applications in the sustainability agenda
