This book explores novel sustainable masonry innovations in design optimization, bio-based materials, and industrial waste valorization. Part I investigates novel structural strategies--topological interlocking blocks modeled and fabricated in UHPC with an MCDM framework for reusability, a PRISMA-guided review of hygrothermal performance in insulated composite masonry, and a self-sensing brick system enabling continuous structural health monitoring. Part II delves into bio-reinforcements: Juncus-fiber-stabilized compressed earth blocks, fiber-reinforced soil units, glycoprotein stabilizers inspired by termite mounds, lime-hemp and sugarcane bagasse insulation for CEB walls, waste-glass-infused clay bricks, and rice-husk-ash geopolymer blocks. Part III valorizes community and industrial by-products--paper, plastics, bagasse ash, marble and stone dust, coal ash--into fired and unfired masonry, and applies geopolymers to stabilize earth materials. Across experimental research, systematic reviews, full-scale testing, and case studies, it advances durable, high-performance bricks and blocks with reduced environmental impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernando Pacheco-Torgal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0443403899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780443403897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Woodhead Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Fernando Pacheco-Torgal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965441032447,"sku":"9780443403897","price":250.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f1d9ac4-7c49-49f1-8a47-6f4abe6827ff.jpg?v=1767280592","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/advances-in-sustainable-masonry-bricks-fernando-pacheco-torgal-9780443403897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
