About the Book
Alternative Building Materials and Technology provides a foundational understanding of sustainable construction practices and energy-efficient building techniques. The book introduces readers to alternative materials and innovative technologies that promote eco-friendly and cost-effective construction.
It covers the basic principles of energy efficiency in buildings along with detailed discussions on commonly used construction materials such as bricks, stone, stabilized mud blocks, and other alternative building blocks. The book also explores substitute materials for traditional bricks, various types of wall construction systems, mortar composition, and standard testing procedures as per IS codes.
In addition, the text examines different roofing systems including filler slabs, masonry domes, and vaults — highlighting practical applications in sustainable architecture. The content is structured to align with the elective syllabus for 6th semester Civil Engineering students as prescribed by VTU, making it particularly useful for academic coursework and examination preparation.
Written in a clear and accessible style, this book serves as a practical guide for students, engineers, and professionals interested in sustainable construction materials and alternative building technologies.
