In Europe considerable building activity can be expected over the coming decades; Net Zero Energy Buildings refers to a building with minimal power, until maximum 15 kW/m^2. In both cases this requires very well insulated buildings with minimal thermal bridges. Concrete balconies, that ... Read More
The Reelwell Drilling Method (RDM) represents an innovative and energy-efficient approach to directional drilling (Rajabi et al. 2009; Belarde and Vestavik 2011; Breivik et al. 2020). RDM has been particularly successful in enhancing MPD and ERD. The technology enables constant well ... Read More
Fire resistance tests of building elements are essential for evaluating their ability to withstand fire exposure and prevent fire spread. Fire resistance tests are expensive and usually take months to organize. If the same structure is retested at the same lab, the systems are so complex ... Read More
Curing concrete is best achieved by keeping it nearly saturated at an appropriate temperature until all the cement has fully reacted. However, when installing flooring materials that require low relative humidity (RH) in the concrete, the slab needs to dry as quickly as possible. ... Read More
In the rapid development cycle of sensor systems, minimizing time-to-market is crucial. However, designing a new MEMS-chip (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) presents significant challenges due to the extensive time required for manufacturing and characterization. This delay affects the ... Read More
Foundation scour is a major cause of bridge collapse worldwide (e.g., Kirby et al., 2015). Indeed, several studies have demonstrated its detrimental effects on the soil-structure system, both in terms of the foundation capacity and stiffness (e.g., Foti et al., 2023). Furthermore, the ... Read More
Urban road tunnels offer a promising solution to extend existing road infrastructure while mitigating air pollution and nuisances affecting nearby residential areas. By diverting traffic underground, valuable surface space becomes available to address other urban challenges. However, ... Read More
The mechanism of plasmonic photocatalytic systems is still debated as the two major mechanistic pathways, i.e., near-electric field and hot electron transfer for semiconductor photocatalytic systems coupled with small size (dia. < 25 nm) plasmon nanoparticles, are specific to the ... Read More
Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a prevalent condition that characterises increased urethral resistance and gives rise to a myriad of lower urinary tract symptoms. Over time, BOO can significantly affect bladder functionality and lower quality of life. Furthermore, surgical ... Read More
Clayey soils and rocks are often used to secure contaminants, dissolved in the interstitial water, or fluids immiscible with water, because of their hydraulic properties (very low permeability and high water retention capabilities, see e.g. McCartney et al., 2016). However, their hydro ... Read More
