In contrast to conventionally-produced structural steel and stainless steel elements, wire and arc additively manufactured (WAAM) elements can exhibit a strongly anisotropic material response. To investigate this behaviour, ...

The scope of this collective paper produced in the frame of RILEM TC 277-LHS is to provide sound knowledge on the use of additives/admixtures in lime-based mortars, based on literature and practice. The most widely known ...

The use of wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) in conjunction with topology optimisation enables the production of structural components with significantlyhigher strength-to-weight ratios than ...

A great focus is currently being placed on the development of applications of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) in structural engineering. To facilitate this development, an experimental programme investigating the ...

Historic concrete buildings are at risk. Limited knowledge of concrete technology until the 1960s led to more sensitive buildings than modern concrete buildings. In addition, the lack of sensibility regarding their heritage ...

Microencapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCMs) can be directly incorporated into mortars to enhance their thermal performance. In this study, the addition of a commercial microencapsulated PCM in a polymer modified cement ...
