1. 1. Residual Products in the Steel Industry Used for Briquetting

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Alexander Eriksson; Linn Isaksson; Jacob Lilliebjörn; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This report looks at the implementation of briquetting in the Swedish steel industry. Briquetting is a process in which residual products are mixed and compressed into a brick-like body in order to be added to the melt in a furnace. This report investigates the type of materials commonly used in briquetting as of today. READ MORE

3. 2. Phase Change Material : Potential for increased fire resistance in concrete

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : William Toivanen; [2023]
   Keywords : Phase change material; concrete; fire resistance; integration into building materials; latent heat; melting;

   Abstract : The European commission has in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive from 2010 decided that its member states were required to ensure that all new buildings by the end of 2020 were nearly zero-energy buildings. These buildings require small amounts of energy compared to its performance in example by keeping a pleasant indoor climate. READ MORE

4. 3. Promoting Circular Economy By Partial Replacement Of Cement With SCMs : A Review On Wood Ash

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Asal Salman; [2022]
   Keywords : Cement; Circular economy; Concrete industry; SCM; Wood ash;

   Abstract : The European Commission adopted the first action plan for the transition to a circular economy in 2015. As a result, the concrete industry’s goal is for all concrete produced in Sweden to be climate neutral by 2045. READ MORE

5. 4. Propelling the Commercialization of ‘Novel Cements’: An investigation of demand-side factors to accelerate decarbonizing technologies within the cement industry

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Elizabeth McNamee; [2020]
   Keywords : cement; concrete; decarbonizing technologies; novel alternative green cements concretes; demand-side; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Accounting for approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions, the cement industry is one of the greatest contributors to climate change, despite the lack of focus on this sector in popular discourse. Deep cuts in this sector are challenging to achieve due to necessitated alteration of material components and formulation of the traditional product in addressing non-energy related ‘process emissions’.

6. 5. Design of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete Bridges : A Comparative Study to Conventional Concrete Bridges

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Viktor Eriksson; [2019]
   Keywords : Bridge design; CO2 emissions; Mechanical properties and behaviour; Straight short steel fibres; UHPC; UHPFRC; Bro dimensionering; CO2 utsläpp; Korta raka stålfibrer; Mekaniska egenskaper och beteende; UHPC; UHPFRC;

   Abstract : The use of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) in the construction industry started in the 1990s and has since then been used for bridges all over the world. The mechanical properties and the dense matrix result in lower material usage and superior durability compared to conventional concrete, but the implementation of UHPFRC in the Swedish industry has been delayed.
