Abstract Recent research suggests that incorporating waste fiber materials into concrete can enhance sustainable waste management practices and reduce the need for extracting natural resources. Textile and cardboard waste, which are abundantly available worldwide, offer significant opportunities to be repurposed in building materials, simultaneously ...

Equivalent stress block parameters for fly ash‐based geopolymer concrete structural elements
Abstract Research on the design of structural members made from geopolymer concrete (GPC) remains limited. This study investigates the applicability of equivalent rectangular stress block parameters, traditionally used for reinforced concrete design, in GPC structural elements.

Performance‐based concept for the selection of sustainable concretes exposed to chlorides
Abstract In order to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals, the construction industry needs to change its current concrete compositions to eco‐friendlier solutions with a much lower carbon footprint. One option is to further increase the use of supplementary cementitious materials as clinker substitution or develop innovative cement and concrete ...
