Initiating Market Formation Through Local Policy Innovation: Plot Handover as a Driver for Circular Construction

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to circular construction suffers from uncertainties related to costs, market realities, supply, regulations and expertise using secondary materials in building projects. Uncertainties are large, and resolving them needs policy interventions.

Circular Innovations in Complex Systems: A Blueprint of Four Design Archetypes

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular innovations (CI), defined as the redesign of products, services or practices to minimise waste, reduce resource use and regenerate natural systems, are essential for advancing the circular economy. Despite growing recognition, their deployment in systems of linked parts with unpredictable interactions (complex systems) remains limited

Behavior of RC beams patch repaired and strengthened with FRP composites : a numerical study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Includes bibliographical references.Reinforced concrete (RC) beams get deteriorated and become deficient mainly due to corrosion of steel reinforcements, poor maintenance and design, earthquakes and aging.

Analysis of an alternative topology for steel-concrete-steel sandwich beams incorporating inclined shear connectors

open access: yes, 2011
This thesis presents a new concept in steel-concrete-steel sandwich construction in which a bi-directional corrugated-strip core is proposed as an alternative inclined shear connector.

Circular Economy in Crisis Contexts: An Assessment Framework for Post‐Disaster Building Stock Toward Strategic Autonomy

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐disaster contexts generate large volumes of damaged building stock with significant, yet often unquantified, circularity potential. Through the lens of strategic management, the circular economy emerges as a transformative pathway to strengthen systemic resilience by reducing dependencies on external resources and mitigating supply chain ...

Analytical behaviour of FRP strengthened reinforced concrete beams under low velocity impact load incorporating rate dependant material constitutive models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Includes bibliographical references.Since the 1980s, the use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in strengthening and rehabilitation of existing reinforced and pre-stressed structures has gained popularity.

Guided Toward Equity: Communities of Practice and Organizational Change in Community Colleges

open access: yesNew Directions for Community Colleges, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although community colleges advance equity by providing opportunities for marginalized students to pursue higher education, barriers to earning credentials remain, particularly for students of color. Higher education stakeholders are investing in “equity work” as organizations take responsibility for ensuring equitable outcomes.

A fracture-mechanics model for debonding of external fibre reinforced polymer plates on reinforced concrete beams

open access: yes, 2006
A Fracture-mechanics model for debonding of external fibre reinforced polymer plates on reinforced concrete beams is presented. The conventional methods of concrete-FRP interface analysis use finite element models, which require details of unknown and ...
