The Path to Green Concrete
Those who are working in the manufacture and development of sustainable construction materials need to have a detailed understanding of the many different processes that are available to make sustainable concrete and cement. New Trends in Sustainable Concrete and Cement will enlighten the scientific community on recent developments in this field. Within the volume world-renowned experts summarize recent research findings covering key topics such as: alkali-activated materials using aluminosilicate waste precursors; use of novel cost-effective and eco-efficient supplementary cementitious materials; state of the art characterization techniques and assessment methodologies; advances on the use ...
New Trends in Eco-efficient and Recycled Concrete
New Trends in Eco-efficient and Recycled Concrete describes different recycled materials that have been used in eco-efficient concrete, reviewing previous publications to identify the most effective recycled materials to be applied in concrete manufacture. New trends on eco-efficient concrete are presented, filling a gap in the market. Sections cover various recycled materials applied in concrete production, present the latest on the lifecycle analysis of recycled aggregate concrete, detail new trends in recycled aggregate concrete research, and finally, present updates on upscaling the use of recycled aggregate concrete and structural reliability. - Focuses on new trends in recycled aggregate concrete and its applications (rather than the more subjective 'sustainability' aspects) - Contains very important contributions from researchers in eco-efficient concrete, including Chi Sun Poon, Jorge de Brito, Valeria Corinaldesi, Francisco Agrela, etc. - Presents a 'one stop' reference for a graduate course on sustainable construction
Sustainable Construction Materials
Sustainable Construction Materials: Recycled Aggregate focuses on the massive systematic need that is necessary to encourage the uptake of recycled and secondary materials (RSM) in the construction industry. This book is the fifth and the last of the series on sustainable construction materials and like the previous four, it is also different to the norm. Its uniqueness lies in using the newly developed, Analytical Systemisation Method, in building the data-matrix sourced from 1413 publications, contributed by 2213 authors from 965 institutions in 67 countries, from 1977 to 2018, on the subject of recycled aggregate as a construction material, and systematically analysing, evaluating and mod...
In The Shadow of Giants
What is it like to support a small team in a city where a footballing giant lurks? Leandro Vignoli spent 50 days on the road, getting up close and personal with the fans of 13 football clubs from ten of Europe's big cities to bring you the inside story. This book isn't about glitz and glamour - it's a celebration of each club's identity peppered with a sprinkling of history. From St Pauli's social activism to Millwall's struggle with hooliganism, from Rayo Vallecano's working-class roots to Torino's glory and tragedy, from the Catalan identity to East Germany's socialist past, no stone is left unturned as Vignoli visits teams in Barcelona, Madrid, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Lisbon, Paris, Turin, Glasgow and London. Each chapter has a game as a backdrop alongside interviews with fans. A football fanatic himself, Vignoli weaves a narrative filled with passion and understanding that gets to the root of what it's really like to support an underdog side dwarfed by a footballing giant.
A produção do clube
Irlan percorre obstinadamente uma hipótese, a de que o diferencial financeiro das formas de empresariamento, que suportam o futebol contemporâneo de espetáculo se dissolvem em espaços curtos de tempo, acarretando nos mesmos problemas apresentados pelas tradicionais associações voluntárias clubísticas sem fins lucrativos. A pergunta insistente é: esse debacle dos modelos de gerenciamento empresarial dos clubes não seria o coração que pulsa de um capitalismo maliciosamente provisório? "Fracassar" ininterruptamente não diz respeito à própria dinâmica e "evolução" desse tipo de capitalismo excludente? O processo teleológico que Irlan sugere como sendo necessariamente conflitu...
Progress in Digital and Physical Manufacturing
This book contains selected papers from the First International Conference on Progress in Digital and Physical Manufacturing (ProDPM'19), organized by the School of Technology and Management (ESTG) of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria (IPL). It presents a significant contribution to the current advances in digital and physical manufacturing issues as it contains topical research in this field. The book content is of interest to those working on digital and physical manufacturing, promoting better links between the academia and the industry. The conference papers cover a wide range of important topics like biomanufacturing, advanced rapid prototyping technologies, rapid tooling and manufacturing, micro-fabrication, 3D CAD and data acquisition, and collaborative design.
