Individual well-being beyond mobility growth? Open
In contemporary modern societies economic growth is strongly correlated with mobility growth, and mobility growth is strongly correlated with unsustainable environmental and social impacts. The sustainable mobility approach has attempted t…
Accessibility Open
Earlier chapters in this book have shown that whilst accessibility is a well-studied concept in the scientific literature its use in practice is still limited. In this chapter, we examine 24 of the latest wave of Accessibility Instruments …
Introduction Open
The integration of land use and transport planning is one of the most important topics in urban and regional planning. Accessibility is believed to provide a useful framework for the design of integrated land use and transport policies. Th…
Performance parameters for the durability design of reinforced concrete structures with stainless steel reinforcement Open
Stainless steel reinforcing bars can be a suitable choice to guarantee the target service life of reinforced concrete structures exposed to aggressive chloride-bearing environments. Usually, the choice of the stainless steel grade is based…
Effect of electroosmotic flow of aqueous suspension of nanosilica on the properties of carbonated concrete Open
The paper investigates the possibility to use electroosmosis to transport nanosilica (NS) particles inside carbonated concrete, in order to exert a filler effect and enhance its durability performance. This method aims to extending possibl…
Durability of Lightweight Concrete with Expanded Glass and Silica Fume Open
Although concrete has a significant environmental impact, it also offers interesting opportunities of recycling waste materials that may improve its sustainability. Together with different other indus-trial residues that are normally recyc…
Improving durability of reinforced concrete structures by recycling wet‐ground MSWI bottom ash Open
Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) generates high amounts of bottom ash that, after grinding, could be used as mineral addition for concrete. Wet grinding of the bottom ash can prevent the risk of deleterious expansion due to hydrog…
Effects of Nanosilica on Compressive Strength and Durability Properties of Concrete with Different Water to Binder Ratios Open
The effects of the addition of different nanosilica dosages (0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% with respect to cement) on compressive strength and durability properties of concrete with water/binder ratios 0.65, 0.55, and 0.5 were investigated. Water sor…
Can seawater be used as mixing water for durable and sustainable RC structures Open
Nowadays the use of chloride-contaminated raw materials is prohibited for reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Beside possible effects on the early stages of cement hydration and the long-term development of strength, the primary reason is…
Corrosion of Steel in Concrete and Its Prevention in Aggressive Chloride-Bearing Environments Open
This keynote paper deals with the durability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures exposed to aggressive environments characterized by high concentration of chloride ions, namely marine environments or the use of de-icing salts. The mecha…
