Sustainable Construction Materials - Recycled Spent Garnet

Rapid industrial growth has witnessed the ever-increasing utilization of sand from rivers for various construction purposes, which caused an exploitation of rivers' beds and disturbed the ecosystem. This book presents an investigation into the capacity of spent garnet (silicate minerals) as sand replacement as a sustainable construction material.
