2. 1. Environmental Perspectives on Urban Material Stocks used in Construction : Granular Materials

   Author : Simon Magnusson; Sven Knutsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

   Abstract : The peoples demand of functions and services in cities is the driver for energy and material flows. Most people in the world are now living in urban areas. In order to achieve a sustainable development of cities, both resource use and environmental impact have to be reduced. READ MORE

4. 2. Environmental assessment of construction with recycled materials

   Author : Sofia Lidelöw; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Avfallsteknik; Waste Science and Technology;

   Abstract : The use of industrial residues as raw materials in construction raises concerns over the potential leaching and dispersal of hazardous constituents from them into the environment. Their leaching behaviour has been studied in laboratory assays, but leaching processes in the field over larger spatial and temporal scales are more complex due to variations in the conditions the materials are exposed to, and less well understood.

5. 3. Insulation materials in district heating pipes : Environmental and thermal performance of polyethylene terephthalate and polyurethane foam

   Author : Sara Mangs; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HFC-365mfc; insulation; District heating pipe; 3-pentafluorobutane; cyclopentane; 3; 1; mass transport; 1; 1; thermal performance; polyurethane foam; polyethylene terephthtalate foam;

   Abstract : District heating can contribute to increased energy efficiency in society. The environmental impact can be reduced by minimising the heat losses in the district heating pipes during distribution of the heat to the customers. READ MORE

6. 4. Mechanical Properties of Residues as Unbound Road Materials - experimental tests on MSWI bottom ash, crushed concrete and blast furnace slag

   Author : Maria Arm; KTH; []
   Keywords : residues; unbound materials; MSWI bottom ash; crushedconcrete; blast furnace slag; mechanical properties;

   Abstract : For recycled aggregates and industrial by-products to beused correctly in road construction, it is necessary to knowtheir properties. Existing material specifications and testmethods for aggregates used in Sweden and in many othercountries are indirect and are based on empiricism. READ MORE

7. 5. Impact of paperboard deformation and damage mechanisms on packaging performance

   Author : Gustav Marin; Sören Östlund; Mikael Nygårds; Tomasz Garbowski; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solid Mechanics; Hållfasthetslära;

   Abstract : Paper-based materials, such as paperboard, are commonly used as packaging materials. In addition to the fact that paper is renewable, there are also many other benefits of paperboard. READ MORE
