Greening Concrete

Architects and builders have often debated the environmental impact of above-grade block and poured concrete. The new online World of Concrete bookstore (www.wocbookstore.com) makes available a complete set of new books that address that issue, along with compact discs for use in calculating the life-cycle of using concrete products in new construction. Books cover everything from achieving the right thermal mass with concrete to disposal and recycling of demolished concrete structures.
