Study of Recycled Spent Coffee Grounds as Aggregates in Cementitious MaterialsAbstract Most spent coffee grounds (SCGs), a byproduct of brewing coffee, are buried in landfill sites, and their decomposition produces significant greenhouse gases. As the recent warming of the Earth’s climate has made it imperative that industries reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the present s [...] 66 560 |
Reuse of Sawdust in Developing Countries in the Light of Sustainable Development Goalsby
![]() ![]() Abstract The several furniture-making phases, from cutting to processing to polishing, produce a significant volume of sawdust of differing grades. The extraction and disposal of such waste in developing countries with no established or sustainable methods is an increasing problem, frequently pos [...] 100 648 |
The Relation between Environmental Risk Analysis and the Use of Nanomaterials in the Built Environment Sector: A Circular Economy PerspectiveAbstract Nowadays, the challenge of climate change and “ecological transition” is substantially an “energy challenge” for every city, which is supposed to become as “energetically self-sufficient” as possible. The construction sector is one of the main contributors to the effects of climate chang [...] 53 676 |
Influence of Wetting-Drying Cycles on Wood Behaviour of Coastal Pedestrian Walkwaysby
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Abstract In the context of inspection and maintenance actions for beach walkways in the North of Portugal, some samples of wood used in their construction were collected – the Pinus sylvestris wood, widely applied in the country. The sustainability of the beach walkw [...] 62 445 |
Application of Finite Element Method for Mechanical Characterization of Wood and Reconstituted Lignocellulosic-Based Composites – A Reviewby
![]() ![]() Abstract Performance evaluations of wood and other lignocellulosic-based composites involve complex scenarios of several factors such as material heterogeneity and geometry that often leads to complicated, expensive, and time-consuming experimental procedures. Hence, the application of computational modeling [...] 68 482 |

Performance of Grouted Coupler Embedded in Reinforced Concrete ABC Bridge Pier at Vehicle Impactby
![]() Abstract Increased occurrence of dynamic loading on bridge piers caused by seismic, blast and vehicular impact incidences have been increasingly reported. Statistical data shows that while seismic and blast have received significant attention in the literature, whereas the frequency of occurrence [...] 79 640 |
A Review of Various Treatment Methods for the Removal of Dyes from Textile Effluentby
![]() ![]() Abstract Wastewater generated by the textile industry has been a major environmental concern for a long. Production of fiber involves various steps and uses a lot of chemicals, dyes, and water. Therefore, the effluent produced from the textile ind [...] 73 575 |
About Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics and ElectromagnetismAbstract We describe here the coherent formulation of electromagnetism in the non-relativistic quantum-mechanical many-body theory of interacting charged particles. We use the mathematical frame of the field theory and its quantization in the spirit of the quantum electrodynamics (QED). This is n [...] 76 643 |
Recycled Wastewater Usage: A Comprehensive Review for Sustainability of Water ResourcesAbstract Water recycling is a potential tool for reducing the dependency on traditional water sources, which would eventually reduce the likelihood of volumetric restrictions and their impacts on the water sector. Therefore, exploration, development, and use of alternative water sources are required for sust [...] 125 1182 |
