This paper looks to address the grand challenge of integrating construction materials engineering research within a multi-scale, inter-disciplinary research and management framework for sustainable concrete infrastructure. The ultimate goal is to drive sustainability-focused innovation and adoption cycles in the broader architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) industry. Specifically, a pro...

The primary mission of archives as cultural and administrative institutions is to preserve and make available society’s collective memories captured in archival materials for future generations. The development and long-term operation of archives in a sustainable manner are critical to accomplish this mission. Applying green or sustainable construction to archival facilities is one way to incre...

In the paper the sustainable development in historical view and theoretical aspects (conception, definition and aims of sustainable, dominant trends in UE agriculture) was presented. In the research on this problem, construction of the tools and models for the estimation of farms sustainable development level is necessary – the paper presents mythological trial of systematization of the princip...

Innovation is the soul of modern enterprise, and sustainable innovation is the essential for enterprises to keep their long-term energies. Small and medium enterprises should start from the construction of interior sustainable innovation ability cultivation system, cultivate innovational leading thinking, establish innovational enterprise culture, improve innovational encouragement system, walk...

The sustainability of the built environment is increasingly coming to the forefront of infrastructure design and maintenance decisions. To address this, development of a new class of more sustainable cement-based materials is needed. Fiber reinforced self-consolidating mortar (FRSCM) was developed by optimizing the micromechanical parameters, which control composite properties in the hardened s...

This paper presents the development and properties assessment of braided reinforced composite rods (BCR) able to both reinforce and monitor the stress state of concrete infrastructures. The research study aims at understanding the tensile behaviour and self-monitoring ability of composite rods reinforced by a textile structure braided structure with core reinforcement for civil engineering appl...
