Impact of CO2-rich seawater injection on basalts
24-04-2024
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is considered as one of the most effective technologies to mitigate increasing carbon emissions. CO2 storage in basalts through mineralisation is a promising potentially cost-effective method that occurs rapidly, typically within 1–2 years.
3D printing of living structural biocomposites
28-03-2024
Introduction of a bacteria-containing microgel-based ink that can be 3D printed into cm-sized structures that are subsequently mineralized, resulting in hard CaCO3-based composites.
Fibre orientation in SFRC slabs
27-02-2024
The use of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is a well-known method for enhancing the punching and flexural resistances of flat slabs. Cores were extracted and scanned using micro-computed tomography (μ-CT) to reconstruct the fibre skeleton.
