Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been identified as a potential catalyst for a paradigm shift within the construction industry, due to its capacity to enhance sustainability, reduce waste, and augment design flexibility. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) that explores the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in ...

Influence of the internal layer cracks on the cracking of flexural three-layer concrete members
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2002 Three-layer structures made of concrete-type materials usually have an internal layer of a less strength, which serves as thermal insulation and makes the structure more light.

Serviceability reserves of historic reinforced concrete slabs implications for structural reuse
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The transition to a circular economy in the construction sector requires reliable methods to assess whether existing reinforced concrete elements can be reused in new load‐bearing structures. A central question is whether slabs designed according to historical standards also meet today's serviceability requirements.
