A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

Characterisation of Asphalt Concrete Using Nanoindentation [PDF]

Materials, 2017
In this study, nanoindentation was conducted to extract the load-displacement behaviour and the nanomechanical properties of asphalt concrete across the mastic, matrix, and aggregate phases. Further, the performance of hydrated lime as an additive was assessed across the three phases.

Circular Economy Pathways for End‐of‐Life Wind Turbine Blades and Their Environmental Implications and Potential Urban Applications

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of renewable energy, particularly wind power, is expected to generate large volumes of composite waste from end‐of‐life (EoL) turbine blades in the coming decades. Managing this material represents a significant environmental and logistical challenge worldwide.

Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Asphalt concrete mixtures with addition of reclaimed asphalt pavements [PDF]

International Conference on Road and Rail Infrastructure, 2021
The effect of using reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) to asphalt concrete mixtures besides their utilization is to reduce the amount of the new bituminous binder and aggregate added to hot mix asphalt. This publication presents studies on asphalt mixtures with an increased up to 40% amount of RAP additive with the simultaneous use of 2 types of added ...
