ON THE COVER: Ecomaterials. A
photo of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge across Tampa Bay in Florida,
whose decking and piers are made from fly ash concrete. Fly ash
concrete is a true "ecomaterial" that uses combustion
waste products as a direct substitute for portland cement, thus
avoiding the cost and environmental burden of cement production
while at the same time avoiding landfill disposal of ash. See
the technical theme that begins on p. 867. (Photo courtesy of
the American Coal Ash Association.)
