1. 1. A Comparative Lifecycle Impact Analysis: Assessing Global Warming Potential of Newly Manufactured and Reused Bricks for Building Construction in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Set Nyi Aung; Srikanth Panda; [2023]
   Keywords : Newly manufactured Bricks; Reused Bricks; Lifecycle Impact Assessment; GaBi ts; openLCA; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The aim of the study is to compare the environmental performance in terms of Global Warming Potential (GWP), for reused bricks and newly manufactured bricks used in Swedish Construction Industry. The objective of the study was to compile and conduct Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), in terms of GWP, of newly manufactured and reused clay façade bricks used in Sweden. READ MORE

3. 2. Brick Recuperation

   University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

   Author : Trixie Lindkvist; [2023]
   Keywords : craftsmanship; reclaimed brick; brick; college; bricklaying;

   Abstract : Recuperation means “regaining something lost or taken” and this has been the main focus of my thesis – essentially reclaiming discarded bricks and educating future bricklayers to work with reclaimed materials. How can the status of craftsmanship be raised through architecture and the processes of crafts be made visible? What opportunities can our current brick stock pose and can derelict buildings be seen as a material bank? My proposal is a bricklaying ”folkhögskola” in Henriksbergshamnen, southwest of central Stockholm, parts laid brick by brick by the students themselves in collaboration with local carpenters.

4. 3. Utilization of reclaimed bricks to facilitate circular economy (CE) in the construction industry : A study of Pakistan’s construction industry

   University essay from Södertörns högskola/Institutionen för samhällsvetenskaper

   Author : Adil Atiq; [2023]
   Keywords : Circular economy; Sustainable construction; Clay bricks and environment; Deconstruction of infrastructure; Reclaimed bricks and its process;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the possible utilization of reclaimed bricks within the framework of circular economy (CE) and sustainable construction approaches, with a particular emphasis on Pakistan's construction industry. The research is based on the theoretical foundations of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) and Resource Efficiency concepts. READ MORE

6. 5. Characterization of Bi-incorporated InSb(111)A/B Surfaces : An STM and XPS Study

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Shengpeng Huang; [2023]
   Keywords : indium antimonide; surface reconstructions; bismuth deposition; scanning tunneling microscopy; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In recent years, III-V semiconductor materials have received increasing attention due to their admirable electronic properties like direct tunable bandgaps and high charge carrier mobility. Indium Antimonide (InSb) possesses the largest electron mobility among III-V materials and is promising for infrared detectors, high-speed field effect transistors, and spintronics. READ MORE
