Valorizing waste materials is a key strategy for achieving a circular economy. Writing in Sustainability, a team of researchers from Saudi Arabia and Australia has investigated the use of marble waste in road construction.
Due to the challenges presented by human activities and climate change, innovative solutions are needed for the future of construction. Writing in Sustainability, a team of researchers from France and the US have investigated using dredged sediment to manufacture compressed earth blocks for sustainable building materials.
In a recent study published in the journal Construction and Building Materials, researchers investigated the self-healing efficiency of alkali-activated materials (AAMs) containing encapsulated healing bacteria (i.e. S. pasteurii) in porous expanded glass granules, obtained from recycling of glass wastes.
A nanomaterials-engineered penetrating sealer developed by Washington State University researchers is able to better protect concrete from moisture and salt – the two most damaging factors in crumbling concrete infrastructure in northern states.
The vast amounts of industrial waste generated by the construction industry present an opportunity to valorize materials for use in new building projects, improving the sustainability of the sector. A new study in the Journal of Cleaner Production has provided a comprehensive review of 3D printing concrete from industrial waste.
Researchers from China have published research in the journal Composites Part A focusing on TiO2 coated bamboo via surface modification resulting in a vast improvement in surface properties.
According to a new study performed at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), when a bomb explodes or fire breaks out, a building constructed or modified with an engineered composite presently confined to unique applications could buy the occupants extra time to get out.
Researchers from British Columbia, in their recent article published in the journal Cleaner Engineering and Technology, have not only studied and suggested various novel strategies for utilization of textile waste, but also thoroughly evaluated its effectiveness and viability.
The global cement industry is responsible for vast amounts of carbon dioxide emissions.
In a recent study published in the journal Materials, researchers from Spain analyzed the factors affecting the failure of asphalt pavements due to fatigue cracking of the bituminous layers viz. temperature, rest periods, and aging using a strain sweep test i.e. ensayo de barrido de deformations (EBADE) test.
