Examining the Drivers to Support Improved Construction and Demolition Waste Management for a Circular Economy: A Comprehensive Review Using a Systematic Approach (2024)
Journal Article

With the rapid pace of global urbanisation, construction demolition waste (CDW) constitutes roughly 36% of the total solid waste deposited in landfill sites worldwide, thereby posing a significant challenge to the sustainability of the construction i...

Journal Article
Abdul-Hussain, G., Holderbaum, W., Theodoridis, T., Wei, G., El-Hussieny, H., & Ferriz-Papi, J. A. (in press). Using an EeonTex Conductive Stretchable Elastic Fibre for Hand Action Recognition. Advances in Science and Technology, 133, 3-10. https://doi.org/10.4028/p-eeodk5

Tactile sensors in wearable devices have gained attention for their potential applications in enhancing amenability, generation, and functionality for the human body, including sensing and control. This study elaborates on the design of a tactile sen... Read More about Using an EeonTex Conductive Stretchable Elastic Fibre for Hand Action Recognition.

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.v2.1.6

The 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.

Using interdisciplinary research project collaborations as a pedagogic tool to enhance learning and teaching : a showcase with low temperature fused recycled glass for a reception desk in the new academic building at the Swansea Waterfront Innovation Quarter (2019)
Journal Article

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...
