Recycling of fines from waste concrete: Development of lightweight masonry blocks and assessment of their environmental benefits (2022)
Journal Article
A significant body of research has been carried out to find suitable waste materials or industrial by-products that could replace portland cement and reduce the environmental footprint of the concrete industry. Many studies focus on technical aspects... Read More about Recycling of fines from waste concrete: Development of lightweight masonry blocks and assessment of their environmental benefits.
A cost-effective recycled aggregates classification procedure for construction and demolition waste evaluation (2022)
Journal Article
Current procedures for characterization of recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste can be
time-consuming and costly, and hinder a greater breadth of re-use application. A multi-level Aggregate Potential
(Physical) (AP(P)) scale i... Read More about A cost-effective recycled aggregates classification procedure for construction and demolition waste evaluation.
Recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste in the production of concrete blocks (2020)
Journal Article
Ferriz-Papi, J., & Thomas, S. (2020). Recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste in the production of concrete blocks. Journal of Construction Materials, 2(1), https://doi.org/10.36756/JCM.v2.1.6The construction industry generates large amounts of waste, usually mixed, which can be composed of
different origin materials, most of them catalogued as non-hazardous. The European Union targets for
this waste for 2020 have been already achieved... Read More about Recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste in the production of concrete blocks.
Offsite ready booklets (2020)
Report
This paper demonstrates how a collaboration between staff from differing subject areas within the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) at its Swansea Campus performed on a live project. The project was embedded in a research active field w...
