Sustainable construction and the design of low-carbon structures is a major concern for UK industry. FRP composite materials are seen as suitable alternative to traditional due their high strength light weight. Network Rail has developed prototype new innovative footbridge made entirely from with aim replacing current steel footbridges. This study conducted life cycle analysis this novel quanti...

As a means to improve sustainability in the construction sector, 3D-printed concrete technologies (3DPCTs) are emerging as potential alternatives traditional for reinforced structural components. Traditional still used most architecture and civil engineering applications, although D-shape technology 3DPCTs (DS-3DPCT) has proven technically feasible producing pilot elements such footbridges. The...

This paper presents a description of a continuous truss footbridge comprising two spans, one of 140 m and the other 50 m. The bridge crosses the Sant Adria Marina, close to Barcelona. The width of the deck is 6 m and the depth of the two trusses, which form the bridge, range between 6 and 10 m. Main innovations are the use of recycled aggregates for concrete in the approach slab deck, the use o...

Can adults make fair moral judgments when individuals with whom they have different relationships are involved? The present study explored the fairness of adults' relationship-based moral judgments in two respects by performing three experiments involving 999 participants. In Experiment 1, 65 adults were asked to decide whether to harm a specific person to save five strangers in the footbridge ...
