explored for use in substrates, including low-cost, lightweight options like crushed bricks and biochar aimed at optimizing water retention, nutrient filtering, and plant growth support. Carretero-Ayuso and García-Sanz-Calcedo [31] compared different roof construction systems using LCA techniques, ...
As a result, non-proprietary, cost-effective UHPC has been developed utilizing locally accessible materials. However, the potential for the employment of non-proprietary UHPCs as structural BE parts has to be researched further. Figure 5. Representative apps of UHPCs in BEs: (a) I-formed ...
The study highlighted the opportunities to reduce impacts, such as using renewable energy for concrete production and improved filtration for ceramic tile manufacturing emissions. Other studies [13,14] used the LCA methodology to assess the environmental cost of a bitumen anti-root barrier on a ...
