The role of sustainability rating systems in delivering infrastructure and building engineering’s contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation
(Corresponding) Venables R.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Although overall drivers for climate change mitigation and adaptation are clear, it is often difficult for professionals working on infrastructure and buildings to assess what relevant action they should be taking in their designs and construction. In parallel, scientists working on construction or...Read more
Durability of cement mortars and concretes exposed to biological attack as one of the sustainability parameter – a correlation analysis
(Corresponding) Ondrejka Harbulakova V., Estokova A., Smolakova M., Luptakova A.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Among the pillars of the sustainability, the aspect of prolongation of life of constructions has to be involved. Focus on sustainability of construction leads to study of durability of building materials. Phenomenon called biocorrosion, existing mainly in concrete sewer systems, agricultural...Read more
