Life cycle assessment of carbon concrete composites: a circular economy path beyond climate mitigation?
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
Sustainable construction and materials play an ever-important role to stay within our planetary boundaries. In support, innovative carbon concrete composites (CCC) promise significant raw material savings by integral design. ...
Breakthrough of the resemblances and correspondences between resilience and sustainability in civil infrastructures
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
Sustainable construction has become a growing trend among researchers and stakeholders. Simultaneously, resilience and risk assessments for civil Infrastructures have flourished in terms of importance among researchers, ...
Quantifying uncertainties in the sustainability evaluation of concrete materials considering regional characteristics in Japan
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
In the evaluation of concrete sustainability, what constitutes "sustainable" to one region may vary from another. This often leads to methodological forms of uncertainties that makes the evaluation process more complex. ...
Rational and sustainable procedure in the design of bridges using pre-stressed concrete beams a theoretical practical method
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
Currently there is not a direct procedure for the design of this bridge system, the procedure is still based on trial and error, there are no studies that give us both the optimum number of beams and other characteristics ...
Determination of in-situ concrete compressive strength under consideration of rearrangement effects
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
For the design of existing structures the concrete compressive strength and the derived mechanical parameters are of central importance. Due to safety reasons the compressive strength of existing concrete is usually set ...
Reduction of dissolved oxygen in minimizing corrosion
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
Concrete structures are susceptible to corrosion especially when exposed to marine environment. In order to minimize the corrosion in reinforced concrete, reduction of dissolved Oxygen (DO) in mixing water is recommended. ...
Life cycle management of concrete structures based on sustainability indicators
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
A concrete structure should be sufficiently planned, designed, executed and maintained to ensure its requirements during the life cycle. However, structures suffering from serious deterioration in structural members and ...
Effect of using biomass fly ash on the concrete sustainability
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
Biomass fly ash has been studied has a partial cement material, since this material has a positive effect on concrete properties. Even though, some mixes with BFA presents a positive benefit, they need to be economically ...
The status of sustainable concrete codes in the United States
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
As the focus on embodied carbon within the built environment has grown in the U.S., local jurisdictional codes have increasingly proposed and implemented code language that requires the use of concrete mixtures that have ...
Optimizing the acid resistance of concrete with granulated blast-furnace slag
(České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
Concrete structures exposed to high levels of chemical attacks are assigned to exposure class XA3, which recommends separate concrete protection or a special expert solution to ensure durability. Due to the partial ...
