2. 1. Fibre reinforced polymer bridge decks: Sustainability and a novel panel-level connection

   Author : Valbona Mara; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bridge; Sustainability; LCA; Life-cycle assessment; FRP deck; LCC; Life-cycle cost; Connection;

   Abstract : Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge decks have emerged as a competitive alternative to traditional decking solutions for the refurbishment of existing bridges, as well as the construction of new ones, in the past two decades. FRP decks offer inherent properties such as light weight, high strength and high resistance to aggressive environments. READ MORE

4. 2. Life-Cycle Costing : Applications and Implementations in Bridge Investment and Management

   Author : Mohammed Safi; Raid Karoumi; Håkan Sundquist; Jan-Eric Nilsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bridge; Cost; Life Cycle Cost Analysis; Procurement; Investment; Management;

   Abstract : A well-maintained bridge infrastructure is a fundamental necessity for a modern society that provides great value, but ensuring that it meets all the requirements sustainably and cost-effectively is challenging. Bridge investment and management decisions generally involve selection from multiple alternatives. READ MORE

5. 3. Management of Sustainability in Construction Works

   Author : Urban Persson; Byggproduktion; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; construction works; assessment model; sustainability; Management;

   Abstract : The present global environmental condition is a consequence of the increasing consumption of natural resources whose depletion exceeds what is physically possible to sustain in the long term. The construction sector is a considerable contributor to this resource depletion and sustainability is adopted in the form of the theory of ecological modernization. READ MORE

6. 4. Development of connections for fibre reinforced bridge elements and an analysis of sustainability

   Author : Valbona Mara; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bridge; insert; connection; deck; FRP; bolt; joint; fibre reinforced polymer; LCC; LCA;

   Abstract : The deterioration of existing bridge structures due to a number of causes has led researchersto pursue new construction materials with high performance, such as fibre reinforced polymer(FRP) composite materials. The inherent properties of FRP materials are their light weight,high strength and high resistance to aggressive environments. READ MORE

7. 5. Designing for sustainability practices : RE-DO Design Doings, Strategies and Postures

   Author : Mia Hesselgren; Sara Ilsted; Elina Eriksson; Sampsa Hyysalo; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sustainability transitions; Transition design; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract : Tackling current sustainability challenges requires substantial societal and social changes, and many different strategies for their deployment. More people have to choose sustainability practices, such as sustainable mobility practices, but such transitions are not easily accomplished. READ MORE
