Effectiveness of expanded clay as a bacteria carrier for self-healing concrete
Applied Biological Chemistry, 2019 Cracking of concrete over time, is a natural phenomenon. Longer service life of concrete structures is desirable. Self-healing concrete using bacteria, which could form CaCO3 crystals for crack sealing, has promised benefits to reduce cost for concrete ...

Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment for Informing Packaging Eco‐Design and Eco‐Modulation
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Eco‐modulation is designed to promote the adoption of eco‐design. However, in practice, its application is mostly concentrated on end‐of‐life (EoL) optimization. This study addresses the gap by proposing a framework to assess product–packaging systems as integrated units throughout the full life cycle.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...
