Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Social considerations are often overlooked in efforts to achieve sustainable development, despite being critical for building equitable and resilient global value chains. This study addresses this gap by applying a social life cycle assessment to three key Portuguese forest wood supply chains—uncoated woodfree paper, natural cork stoppers, and

Tests of Joints in AAC Masonry Walls [PDF]
Architecture, Civil Engineering, Environment, 2018 Abstract The paper presents the results of the Authors’ tests on the joints in AAC masonry walls. The shape of the tested element and the test stand were fitted innovatively based on the Authors’ own experience as well as on the literature overview and numerical analysis. Cracking morphology and mode of failure were investigated.

An evaluation of mechanical properties of clay brick for masonry wall in Indonesia
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 In principle, the main construction of the non-engineered building in Indonesia is the wooden structure. It can be seen from traditional houses in Indonesia. However, In the last two centuries, the use of brick masonry as wall component has been becoming

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...
