Cost-Effective Recycling of CDW in High Added Value Energy Efficient Prefabricated Concrete Components for Massive Retrofitting of our Built Environment (VEEP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2020,
Around 461 million ton/year of C&DW are generated in EU28. Recent studies on the characterization of C&DW samples at European level revealed a predominant fraction of concrete (52% average). Over the last years, novel technology has been developed aiming to guarantee high quality recycled concrete aggregates for use in new concrete, thereby closing the concrete loop. The most advanced concrete re ...

IMPROVED FASTENING SYSTEMS OF CLADDING WALL PANELS OF PRECAST BUILDINGS IN SEISMIC ZONES (SAFECLADDING)
Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2015,
The current design practice of precast buildings is based on a frame model where the peripheral cladding panels enter only as masses without anystiffness. The panels are then connected to the structure with fastenings dimensioned with a local calculation on the base of their mass for anchorage forces orthogonal to the plane of the panels. This design approach does not work, as it was recently dram ...
