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 comparative study of alkali activated slag cement concretes with carbonate and silicate activators.
Sanam I., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
Alkali-activated cements are increasingly gaining interest as viable alternatives to Portland cement, because they are considerably reducing CO2 emissions compared to traditional Portland cements while maintaining or exceeding performance requirements commonly specified for construction...Read more
A study of the properties of alkali activated cement concrete with potassium carbonate activator.
(Corresponding) Mavroulidou M.
Topic:
Net Zero emission transition
Alkali-activated cements (AAC) have recently attracted the vivid interest of the civil engineering industry as promising innovative alternatives to Portland Cement (PC) which is responsible for 8% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In this context, this paper studies concrete produced using potassium...Read more
