Uncertainties in decarbonising heat in the UK
Abstract Heating is arguably one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonise in the UK's energy system. Meeting the 80% greenhouse gas emission reduction target by 2050 is likely to require that heat related emissions of CO2 from buildings are near ...

The Effect of Curing Conditions (In Situ vs. Laboratory) on Compressive Strength Development of High Strength Concrete
Abstract During the construction of the bridge near Štrba village, concrete was needed to achieve the cube strength of 35N/mm2 after 48hours to allow the prestressing works. However, the question remained how to practically verify the real strength...

Partial strengthening of R.C square columns using CFRP
Abstract In some buildings, when quality control is poor, the upper parts of columns have a weak compressive strength, especially in floor zone. Low compressive strength for upper part of the column will lead to a reduction in bearing capacity of...
