Valorization of Dredged Sediments As Sustainable Construction Resource

Dredging is increasing in scale worldwide, deep sea disposal is being eliminated, and landfill disposal is becoming less sustainable. Yet these sediments offer a potentially useful construction resource. This has sparked considerable research in valorization, for which this book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview.
