Innovative methods of ground improvement for problematic transport earthwork materials

(Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Safdar M., Gunn M., Gray C., Payne I., Garelick J., Purchase D.

Topic:

Environmental management and policies

The paper focuses on emerging (bio-) chemical techniques used to improve engineering properties of two problematic earthwork materials of the UK rail network to address transport earthwork infrastructure resilience in view of climate change. Studied techniques include novel cementing agents (e.g...Read more

A study of alkali-activated concrete mixes in seawater environments

Mengasini L., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gunn M.

Topic:

Marine environment and coastal management

This paper assesses the performance in seawater environment of concrete mixes based on alkali-activated (AA) cements; these are proposed as an alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) to address environmental footprint of cement production and to find new uses for waste materials. The proposed...Read more
