Sediment-based fired brick strength optimization : A discussion on different approaches
Sustainable sediment management is a global issue due to dredging of rivers and river mouths for navigability and flood protection. Previous studies on sediments beneficial uses have shown that essentially the targeted materials relate to roads and ceramics (bricks, tiles). For sustainable management, these recovery sectors impose the minimization ...
L'Université Gustave Eiffel adapte ses formations pour répondre aux nouveaux besoins de compétence
Face à la complexité des territoires et du phénomène urbain, l'Université Gustave Eiffel inscrit une partie significative de son action autour de grands thèmes : aménager et protéger les territoires, contribuer à l'aménagement soutenable des villes, à la structuration des périphéries et à l'accessibilité des territoires peu denses, trouver le sens ...
Evaluating Resilient Infrastructure Systems : Task Force 3 Infrastructure Investment and Financing
The socio-economic costs of infrastructure damage and lost functionality that follow natural disasters, including climate change or a major attack, are much larger than the cost of improving infrastructure resiliency to typical events and properly maintaining it. The critical review of selected case studies presented in this policy brief shows that...

Design of concrete : Setting a new basis for improving both durability and environmental performance
CO2 emissions from cement production currently represent around 6% of global CO2 emissions. However, cement concrete absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere because of carbonation (i.e., penetration of atmospheric CO2 inside bulk concrete). Carbonation has beneficial effects on the mechanical resistance of cement concrete. However, carbonation also has adv...
Carbon Neutral Buildings and Recycled Materials : How Cities Want to Solve The Challenge
Policy makers struggle to achieve a balance between carbon neutrality and high recycling rates for three reasons: the level of energy needed to move and adapt construction materials, the variable locations where building activities take place, and the fact that construction waste is not 100 percent inert. However, current research to develop carbon...
SUP R DSS: A sustainability-based decision support & system for road pavements
Road pavement community members are increasingly becoming aware of the need to incorporating the principles of sustainable development into the sector. Policies are also going in this direction and as a consequence in the recent years researchers and practitioners are coming up with new materials, technologies and practices designed to reduce the n...
