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

Quantifying the impact of volunteerism in the framework of waste management strategies in Cyprus

Angeli A., (Corresponding) Zorpas A.

Topic:

Environmental management and policies

Waste Management strategies as a result of the production and consumption line (not cycle) are on the top of the global challenges, within the framework of the seventeen United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Based on the World Bank projections, the global waste generation levels...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
