The present climate emergency demands the construction industry to minimise the carbon footprint of concrete buildings. In this paper, the potential different optimisation strategies to reduce ‘cradle-to-gate’ embodied ...

Minimising carbon emissions from the building construction industry is of paramount importance in the present context due to the rising concerns of climate change. This paper explores the potential of minimising embodied ...

This paper presents experimental work aimed at proving the feasibility of using distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) as an early warning system for sinkhole detection. The 1g experiments were conducted using a plane-strain ...

Alkali-activated cements utilising fly ash can be a low-carbon alternative to Portland cement. However, fly ash alkaliactivated cements require curing at elevated temperature and have cost plus environmental implications ...

Piled foundations are widely used to limit the movement of foundations in expansive clays. These piles are subjected to large uplift forces as the clay swells (and downdrag forces when it shrinks). The appropriate method ...
