The Hidden Costs of Coffee Production in the Eastern African Value Chains
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There is increasing recognition that significant hidden costs associated with agrifood systems are not reflected in market prices. Coffee is among the three most traded agricultural commodities in the world and supports the livelihoods of more than 30 million smallholder households.

Experimental Study for Punching Shear Behavior in RC Flat Plate with Hybrid High Strength Concrete
Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2013 This Paper is conducted to investigate experimentally the punching shear behavior of hybrid flat plate. Five slab specimens with (1000x1000x70) mm dimensions have been tested, two of which have been made fully with High Strength Concrete and Steel Fiber

Developing and Testing a Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Financial Tool
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) represents a paradigm shift in the provision of safely managed sanitation services with a framework of three outcomes—equity, safety and sustainability. There are several sanitation financial tools, but none of these fully address all CWIS outcomes. Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Financial Tool (CWIS‐FiT) is

The behaviour of reinforced concrete slabs in fire [PDF]
Fire Safety Journal, 2010 In this paper a robust model is presented based on the previous layer procedure developed by the author to also take into account the effects of concrete spalling on the behaviour of concrete slabs under fire conditions. In this study, a detailed analysis of a uniformly loaded reinforced concrete slab subject to different degrees of concrete spalling ...

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.
