Abstract

One of the most challenging tasks that humankind has in the future is to develop new cities for a growing population in spaces and with materials that are not as abundant as in the past. In order to face this difficulty, buildings should be designed and constructed with cutting-edge technologies that aim to reduce their impact on the environment. The use of virgin raw materials in the building phase is still the most convenient solution in terms of organization and economic budget, but it worsens the exploitation of quarries in the territories. &#13;Moreover, the disposition of old and abandoned buildings all over the world, is another unsolved issue to be addressed by the building industry. Their demolition is often preferred due to simpler procedures and a quicker creation of a possible available spaces for other purposes, but leads to another tricky problems, that of managing the wastes generated. To avoid the frequent disposal of inert material in landfilling, the European Community enacted the Directive 2008/98/CE that sets the objective for each state member to achieve by 2020 a minimum of 70% by weight of re-use, recycling and recovery of non-hazardous construction and demolition wastes. &#13;The aim of this study is to analyze the possible recycling of waste bricks coming from demolition for the production of self-compacting mortar (SCM). The investigation is performed on mortars made with different replacement’s percentage of the limestone filler, in one case, and of the limestone sand, in the other. First, the bricks are prepared and treated to achieve the similar physical properties of the filler and the sand of limestone. Then the materials are characterized in order to make a comparison with the limestone fractions and to design the mix for the mortar. Several tests are performed to highlight the influence of the recycled material in the traditional mix of the mortar. The analysis is done on mortars’ samples through the concrete equivalent mortar (CEM). Moreover, for this specific case study, it is avoided the traditional use of the superplasticizers, in order to enhance the behavior of the bricks fraction and its influence on the mortar. Finally, the study of the compressive strength and flexural strength demonstrates how the substitution can affect or improve the mechanical properties of the hard mortar samples. &#13;The study demonstrated that the use waste bricks’ fractions to substitute sand and filler fractions inside self-compacting mortar is possible. The water absorption of the recycled material plays a fundamental role in designing the proper mortar’s mix. Several parameters must be considered during the choice of the composition, especially the amount of water to add and granulometry. In the case of the limestone filler replacement by the bricks’ filler, the workability is only partially affected. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the mortars present negligible changes compared to the reference mortar. Sand replacement with bricks sand, does not reduce significantly the workability of the mortars, even with further increases of the bricks sand content. The small differences in compressive and flexural strength between the reference mix and the new samples, demonstrate that the brick’s sand does not change significantly the final mechanical properties.

Abstract

The current production and consumption models of building materials are causing severe environmental and social problems worldwide. In this sense, construction and demolition waste (C&DW) are part of the problem and can be part of the solution, particularly in developing countries where the construction industry is growing very rapidly. Although many efforts have been made by stakeholders to increase the use of C&DW in construction materials, articulated efforts are required at global, national, and local scales to develop truly sustainable construction sectors. Therefore, this e-book, which is based on the “Special Issue on Construction and Demolition Waste: Challenges and Opportunities”, is an effort to articulate knowledge on novel and innovative building materials using C&DW and management systems to develop circular economy models (CE) for the construction sector. In this e-book, it is concluded that even though the valorization of C&DW has been developed worldwide, more incentives need to be provided to really convert the local and national construction chains in sustainable sectors, which appropriate the circular economy for production and consumption systems that imrpove, at the least, efficiency in terms of materials, water and energy use.

Abstract

An examination of the portrayal of one of the most important uprisings in the middle ages in subsequent history writing. The revolt of Owain Glyndwr (1400-c.1415) was a remarkable event in both English and Welsh contexts, and as such was narrated by a number of chroniclers, including Adam Usk, John Capgrave, Thomas Walsingham and Edward Halle. Theyoffer a range of perspectives on the events, as well as portrayals of the main characters (especially, of course, Glyndwr himself), the communities involved, and Wales. This book studies the representations of the revolt in English chronicles, from 1400 up to1580. It focuses on the narrative strategies employed, offers a new reading of the texts as literary constructs, and explores the information they present. Alicia Marchant is a ResearchAssociate in the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions at the University of Western Australia.

Abstract

"The image that appears on the movie screen is the direct and tangible result of the joint efforts of the director and the cinematographer. A Hidden History of Film Style is the first study to focus on the collaborations between directors and cinematographers, a partnership that has played a crucial role in American cinema since the early years of the silent era. Christopher Beach argues that an understanding of the complex director-cinematographer collaboration offers an important model that challenges the pervasive conventional concept of director as auteur. Drawing upon oral histories, early industry trade journals, and other primary materials, Beach examines key innovations like deep focus, color, and digital cinematography, and in doing so produces an exceptionally clear history of the craft. Through analysis of several key collaborations in American cinema from the silent era to the late twentieth century--such as those of D. W. Griffith and Billy Bitzer, William Wyler and Gregg Toland, and Alfred Hitchcock and Robert Burks--this pivotal book underlines the importance of cinematographers to both the development of cinematic technique and the expression of visual style in film"--Provided by publisher.
