Evaluating the Fire Performance of Alternative Cementitious Material (ACM)-Based Concrete for Sustainable and Resilient Construction
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Concrete is one of the popular materials and is widely applied in construction due to its versatility, availability, low cost, strength, and durability. Read more
Can car sharing schemes work in rural areas of Scotland and can this achieve sustainable transport?
Shared mobility practices such as. Car sharing systems (CSS) are intended to reduce car ownership, reduce the private car fleet, improve mobility, and traffic congestion while offering advantages for drivers such as total cost of ownership (TCO) and flexibility for drivers. Read more
Life Cycle Energy Saving Strategies and Evaluation Framework for Pre-1919 Constructions
Background. Buildings account for approximately 40% of energy consumption and 30% of carbon emissions in the UK. Energy saving in the built environment is a critical focus area to meet government targets for reducing carbon emissions, which are supported by the continuous updates to building regulations. Read more
Sustainability as a Target Value to Strengthen Decarbonization in the Built Environment!
Our time is characterized by climate changes that impose sustainability in every industrial activity, an additional objective to our design and construction processes. Read more
Autogenous diagenesis of limestone waste (FES-PhD-2425-01)
Diagenesis refers to the physical, chemical and biological processes that ‘turn’ sediments into rock (1,2). As sediments become buried by natural processes, they are subject to overburden pressure and raised temperatures, albeit lower than those that cause metamorphism (2,3). Read more
Fibre-reinforced geopolymer concrete utilising waste materials
The UK's vision for net-zero is a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. The UK's net-zero strategy outlines proposals to decarbonize all sectors of the UK economy. Read more
