Cementitious materials

This paper explores how construction engineering can support sustainability by evaluating recycled materials, balancing energy and CO 2 reduction with cost, performance, and regulatory compliance.

Professor James Brownjohn from the University of Sheffield reports on a new technological data gathering process that monitors the 'health' of structures in real time and provides warnings and alerts should the prognosis change.

Calcined clay has emerged as one of the most promising solutions to the challenge of finding a replacement to ground granulated blast-furnace slag and pulverised fuel ash or fly ash. This article examines its technical properties, environmental benefits, and practical implementation for structural engineers within current standards and practices.
