These materials include sulfur concrete and sulfur-extended asphalt pavements as well as pre-cast concrete components, extrusions, and cast-in-place forms. Sulfur construction materials can offer improvements over more traditional materials, especially in specific applications. Key Features: --Reviews acceptable methods of disposing of unneeded sulfur without compromising environmental protection --Reveals the advantages of using modified sulfur concrete materials for sub-ground and sub-marine structures, and immobilization of hazardous wastes --Describes the unique features of sulfur construction materials such as corrosion resistance, low moisture penetration, high thermal and mechanical performance, and long-term stability in various environments --Discusses sulfur concrete process design for use in waste management practices (barrier systems for waste containment, stabilization/solidification of waste, etc.). This one-of-a-kind book discusses the basic properties and behavior of sulfur cement and concrete materials and, based on these properties, new sulfur market applications are evaluate
