Determining the material properties and existing capacity of concrete infrastructure using nondestructive techniques is challenging due to evolving design requirements, unknown as-built conditions, and ongoing maintenance and deterioration. Concrete&...
Plastic waste (PW) constitutes a nuisance to our environment despite several efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle it. This study experimentally explores the possibility of storing plastic waste within a cement-stabilised soil that can be used as a ro...
Damage to devices installed in electric substations, which have shown vulnerable behaviour under strong earthquakes in the last decades, may endanger power delivery in the emergency phases during and after an earthquake. Within seismic risk assessmen...
Geopolymer concrete is concrete made from industrial materials, such as fly ash, GGBS, silica fume, and metakaolin, used as a cement alternative. In this study, geopolymer concrete will be based on fly ash as a binder material, alkaline activators of...
The present study focused on the design of geothermal energy piles based on cone penetration test (CPT) data, which was obtained from the Perniö test site in Finland. The geothermal piles are heat-capacity systems that provide both a supply of e...
New technologies such as the I-BIM (Infrastructure Building Information Modeling) are radically changing the infrastructure design and construction sector. In this study, the I-BIM approach has been used for the design of a portion of the future Bolo...
Wind and/or earthquake-imposed loadings on two dynamically similar adjacent buildings cause vigorous shaking that can be mitigated using energy dissipating devices. Here, the vibration response control in such adjacent structures interconnected with...
Within any ecosystem, information sharing is essential. In this paper, the Swedish gravel road ecosystem is studied, where information plays a crucial role for the effective management of operations and maintenance. However, efficient information sha...
One of the most interesting applications of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the possibility of providing real-time information on the conditions of civil infrastructures during and following disastrous events, thus supporting decision-makers in...
Offsite construction has become popular in recent times due to the numerous benefits it offers compared to traditional construction methods. This paper explores the different offsite construction methods, the motivations for adopting these approaches...
