Management of Construction Logistics in Stockholm: Identifying Ways of Improvement for Construction Logistics Within the Inner City of Stockholm
The construction industry is similar to other manufacturing industries. A production is made up of several small moments and the final product arises when all these steps are completed. Each one of these Continue reading
Strength Characteristics of Structural Concrete Elements Using Foundry Sand
The over exploitation of non-renewable materials is becoming a threat and therefore it is necessary to seek the possibility of recycling them, once their durability is Continue reading
Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams with High-Strength Steel
Structures are commonly made of reinforced concrete, which is a composite material made of concrete and steel reinforcement. Using high-strength steel, with yield stress larger than 100 ksi, could help reduce the quantity of steel required in Continue reading
Bond Properties of Rubber Modified Epoxy
In this paper, the bond integrity of unmodified and rubber-modified epoxy used for bonding the carbon fibre sheets to the hosting steel surface was investigated. The rigidity of the bonding agent is one of the factors that have a significant role in the Continue reading
A Study of Building Procedure in the Dominican Republic: How to Develop a Sustainable Building Process :Are There Applicable Models and Techniques From Sweden?
The project is based on the field studies that are done in the investigation together with the information from interviews from the construction sites and the collected information from the research. The focus is concentrated in Continue reading
The Stabilization of High-rise Buildings: An Evaluation of the Tubed Mega Frame Concept
Building tall has always been an expression of dreams, power and technical advancement. With the greatly increasing urbanization in recent years building tall has become Continue reading
Economical Study of Rigid Pavement by Using the Used Foundry Sand
Indian road network of almost 3.5 million km comprising both paved and unpaved surfaces is the world’s second largest. Indian roads are presently constructed with not the right Continue reading
A Study on Foundry Sand: Opportunities for Sustainable and Economical Concrete
Foundries for the metal-casting industry generate by-products such as used foundry sand. Metal foundries use large amounts of the metal casting process. Foundries successfully recycle and reuse Continue reading
Effect of Microfibrillar Cellulose on Concrete Equivalent Mortar Fresh and Hardened Properties
A pilot project in 2010, conducted at CBI, showed the capacity for pulp, micro fibrilars from the forest industry to act as Viscosity Modifying Agent (VMA) in concrete. This project was, however, too limited to find Continue reading
Characterization of the Behavior of Ultra-High Performance Concrete
In the past decade significant advances have been made in the field of high performance concretes. The next generation of concrete, Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), exhibits exceptional strength and durability characteristics that make it well suited for Continue reading
