The Role of Awareness in Sustainable Construction Materials Uptake in Developing Economies: Evidence From Nigeria

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable Construction Materials (SCM) are crucial for reducing lifecycle emissions in the built environment, yet their adoption remains limited in many developing economies, such as Nigeria. This study investigates how awareness influences the adoption of SCM among professionals in Nigeria's Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)

Co‐Calcination of Silicate or Aluminosilicate Network of Clay and Non‐Clay Minerals With NaOH: Physicochemical Insights

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 6, June 2026.
Effects of co‐calcination with alkali hydroxide on pure clay minerals (kaolinite, montmorillonite) and typical impure minerals (quartz, feldspar) are presented. Co‐calcining montmorillonite and quartz with sodium hydroxide improves their reactivity. Co‐calcining kaolinite with sodium hydroxide reduces its reactivity.

Development of Sustainable Paver Block to Suit Very Heavy Traffic Conditions Using Cassava Peel Ash

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Sustainable paver blocks were developed using cassava peel ash and silane‐treated glass fibers. The optimized mix achieved superior strength, durability, and impact resistance, meeting IS 15658:2006 standards for heavy traffic. This eco‐friendly approach highlights an effective use of agro‐waste and fiber reinforcement for sustainable infrastructure ...
