Abstract:

The creation of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is associated with the introduction of plasticizing additives based on polycarboxylate esters (PCE). The first patent for a group of substances proposed for use as superplasticizers for concrete, was declared in the early 80-ies of the last century in Japan. In the mid 90-ies superplasticizers based on esters of polycarboxylates began to be used in Europe. In Russia, the use of self-compacting concrete began much later, and in bridge and tunnel construction almost a few years ago. Currently, in the European Union, 70-80% of reinforced concrete str

Abstract:

AbstractConcrete is a mass commodity with more than approx. 250 Mio. batches of concrete being produced every year in Europe alone. Despite this enormous repetition rate, both the quality inspection of the concrete raw materials as well as of the mixed concrete are still primarily batch‐based, relying on manual processes, thus hindering the application of modern process control schemes. The reasons for this lack are on the one hand to be seen in the lack of suitable sensor technologies and on the other hand in missing control algorithms. The paper at hand gives an overview on the current state

Abstract:

Self-Compacting Concrete Originally developed in Japan, SCC technology was made possible by the much earlier development of Superplasticisers for concrete. The self-compacting concrete (SCC), has been used in precast constructions like bridge, building and tunnel construction since the early 1990’s. In the last five years, a number of SCC bridges have been constructed in Europe. The application of SCC in highway bridge construction is very limited at this time. However, the U.S. precast concrete industry is beginning to apply the technology to architectural concrete. SCC has high potential for

The paper describes use of hemp boon as a natural organic filler for building materials, especially concrete designed as heat - insulating filler material around the load-bearing structure of wooden buildings. In constructions, hemp has been used in the form of mats made of hemp fiber, with the addition of bonding bicomponent fibers and soda solution for protection against burning and rots. Mats are formed by pneumatic fleece, they are subsequently thermally treated and then cut to the desired dimensions. Calcium-hemp building material is a revolutionary construction and thermal insulating mat

Abstract:

A common source of dissatisfaction in buildings pertains to acoustical issues. Specifically, in existing buildings, exposure to impact noise represents a frequent problem. In Central Europe generally, and in Vienna (Austria) specifically, there is a significant number of existing buildings with floor constructions involving wooden beams as structural elements. Given the steady rise in inhabitants' expectations regarding buildings' acoustical quality, such existing floor constructions do not sufficiently provide the sufficient impact noise insulation. In many instances, the replacement of these

Abstract:

The construction industry is responsible for the generation of large volumes of waste, known as construction and demolition waste (CDW). Around the world, millions of tons of these wastes are generated annually, which often become important environmental liabilities. The situation gets worse as the sector develops. In Europe, only 15 of the 27 countries in the European Union annually produce around 180 million tonnes of CDW, in Brazil, the data about this indicates that in 2014 the municipalities collected about 45 million tons of CDW, quantity 4.1% higher than in 2013.

Abstract:

The extractive activity and processing of useful mineral substances results in a significant amount of mining waste, in the form of mineral waste. According to European statistical institutions, mining and quarrying in Europe generates over 50% of total industrial waste. Most of this waste is stored in dumps and ponds. The processing of solid mineral tailings and the production of economically usable by-products is of major importance, both from an economic point of view and from the point of view of environmental management, having a major impact on the protection of the environment.

Abstract:

The construction industry is a significant contributor to global CO2 emissions, primarily due to the extensive use of ordinary portland cement (OPC). In response to the urgent need for sustainable construction materials, calcium sulphoaluminate (CSA) cement has emerged as a promising alternative. CSA cement is renowned for its low carbon footprint, high early-age strength, and superior durability, making it an attractive option for reducing the environmental impact of construction activities. While CSA cement offers benefits in carbon emissions reduction, its susceptibility to carbonation pres

Concrete pavings are widely used in the construction industry as flooring for decorative and structural purposes in the gardens, parks, and roads of America, and Europe. In the present study, the effects of pyrite, corundum, and water-retaining polymer additives on the surface wear resistance of concrete pavings were investigated. Concrete pavings were poured in 2 stages and all of the bottom layers of samples were the same, but upper layers of pavings were produced by adding pyrite in the ratio of 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40 according to the mass of the aggregate, 5 kg /m2 corundum-based surface h

This paper presents Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) as a third alternative construction material worth considering when retrofitting a bridge structure. FRP offers the following advantages: lighter than steel and concrete, non-corrosive, low in maintenance, stronger than structural steel and fatigue resistant. FRP has been used in Europe and more specifically in the Netherlands for almost 20 years in the retrofitting of road bridges, in new pedestrian bridges, road bridges and lock doors for sluices.

Abstract:

Architects, engineers and researchers alike often cite practical reasons for building with wood. Since the development of curved glulam beams and columns over a century ago, the widespread use of massive structural timber elements has allowed architects and engineers to design and build in wood with unprecedented speed and scale. Moreover, rising concerns of climate change and the carbon-dioxide emissions associated with construction encourage the use of wood as a viable alternative to steel and concrete, due to CO2 sequestration in trees.In mid- and high-rise buildings, the current shift from

Abstract:

Nowadays more and more often investors and constructors are building constructions by combining two of the most common materials: reinforced concrete and steel. By understanding their behavior we can squeeze a mountain of used material with better results. They make it possible to take advantage of good mechanical properties of concrete in compression and steel in tension. One of the commonest types of composite structures is deck bridges with encased filler beams. These types of construction have been employed in Slovakia and all over Europe without any major change since the beginning of the

Abstract:

Significant number of reinforced concrete building frames executed in the ‘50’s-60’s in Europe need seismic upgrading. At those times understanding of earthquake effects was insufficient and quality control on construction sites lacking. This combination resulted in buildings framed in reinforced concrete with bad quality materials and inadequate reinforcement. The low-medium rise buildings often house public functions today. In this paper, we analyze the potentials and limitations of using light prefabricated steel wall systems (LGSW) to upgrade frames to higher seismic standard. Results show

The following considerations ask for an ideal Europe, they raise the question of how a continent positions itself to the challenge of the foreigner. The range of possible answers is conceivably wide; and this forces a detour via social-theoretical reflection. There is an ethical foundation of the political, which is abstract and imprecise, but at the same time remains indispensable. The political is the category conceived by Hannah Arendt and other political thinkers to enable resistance to concrete politics permeated by power (1). Another social concept should be clarified: cosmopolitanism. I
