Shotcrete has now grown in popularity and can replace cast-in-place (CIP) concrete in applications such as retaining walls and slope stabilisation. However, due to the problems like cracking due to shrinkage and the durability concern, this practise is still limited. So, cementitious material such as fly ash is used in this situation to increase the strength of the concrete and also to make sure it is high durability and safe to use in construction. Fly ash can be known as a coal combustion residual which is commonly occur in thermal power plant and it had been widely used as an alternative material during the production of Portland cement concrete. Supplementary cementitious materials is widely used in the mixing of concrete due to its unique properties which can harden the concrete via its hydraulic and pozzolanic activity. A series of experiments will be conducted to make sure that the fly ash that had been mixed with Portland cement is safe to use and also can increase the compressive strength of the cement. Throughout the experiments, a series of data will be display with the addition of 5%,10%,15%,20%,25%,30%,35% of pozzolans in the cement mixing ratio. The addition of fly ash during the mixing of concrete will indirectly reduce the cost of construction and also the rate of pollution to the environment as it is being classified as a scheduled waste in Malaysia according to the Environmental Quality Act 1974.This research will mainly focus on the performance of shotcrete with the addition of cementitious material which is fly ash as an alternative product compare to the tradition concrete and compare the differences in the achievement of shotcrete with and without the addition of fly ash so that the comparison is more clearly and more understandable. Next, the utilization of the nominal aggregates will be 10-20mm.The amount of fly ash added to the mixing of concrete will be in the range of 5% to 35%.

One of the popular modern ways to bring greenery back into interiors are interior green walls, which are also known as vertical gardens. Along with the increase in awareness of green walls, their technical solutions are also increasing and their innovation is progressing rapidly. In recent years, green walls have rapidly moved from the simplest walls with the need for mechanical service to maintenance-free walls connected to the digital environment using various sensors. The contribution is focused on the inputs of monitoring in the post-implementation phase of the interior green wall located on the premises of the Technical University in Košice. The goal of the monitoring is to define the inputs for the transition to digitized maintenance of the green wall. The article analyses of the inputs of 3-month monitoring of a green wall with simple manual maintenance. At the end of the paper, the requirements for setting up a digital device ensuring suitable conditions for the sustainability of green construction are specified.

Tomatoes are a major vegetable crop worldwide. Production costs for large due to high harvesting costs and difficult mechanization. An increase in labour productivity, the profitability of production, the increase in production and the decrease in cost is possible through the introduction of mechanization of production processes, the most important of which is harvesting [19]. It absorbs over 50% of total costs [5, 10]. Mechanized harvesting reduces labour costs 10 times, and according to Bakulev [1], the profitability of production reaches 200%. Research by the University of California [18] indicates that the price of mechanically harvested tomatoes is $9.84/t, and for hand-harvested tomatoes - $17.19/t. Depending on the qualifications of the workers, mechanization saves from 70 to 440 man-hours per hectare. The mechanization of harvesting also has a biological side [6]. The short period of harvesting allows to control the ripening. Thus, the degree of de-esterification of the pectin content beyond the desired can be avoided. A lot of research has been done to create a robot that picks tomatoes but it is still only in the research field. A practically implemented mechanization of the process is achieved with a tomato harvester that harvests the entire crop at once. Due to the large losses due to damage to the fruit and leakage of juice, this method also needs improvement. In the present study, dependencies have been derived that make it possible to determine the parameters of the handling devices in the tomato harvester in order to obtain a better result from the mechanized harvesting of tomatoes.

Among the various possibilities to tackle the issue of concrete damage within its structural service life, the biomimetic approach has favoured the development of innovative solutions such as the use of 3D printed vascular networks suitably incorporated into concrete structural elements to inject and convey the most suitable healing agent upon crack occurrence. These systems, able to cope with damage of different intensities, may lead to improvements of the structure’s durability, through the closure of cracks, and a consequent reduction of the frequency of major maintenance activities. The present work investigates the environmental sustainability of the aforesaid self-healing technology through a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis. The attention has been also focused on the 3D printing process of the network due to the key role that it could play, in terms of environmental burdens, when upscaled to real-life size applications. The case study of a beam healed by means of polyurethane injected through the network and exposed to a chloride environment is reported to better predict the potential improvements in terms of overall durability and consequent sustainability within the pre-defined service life.

CeO2, Cu0.05Ce0.95O2-δ, Ni0.04Ce0.96O2-δ, Cu0.05Ni0.05Ce0.90O2-δ, catalysts were synthesised via solution combustion technique using urea as a fuel. The as pre-preared catalysts were characterised via X-ray powder diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis, transmission and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The characterisation techniques strongly suggested that all the catalysts were prepared successfully, and that copper and nickel were successfully incorporated into the lattice structure of ceria. The effect of the reaction conditions on the catalytic properties of the synthesised material were studied in detail using Cu0.05Ni0.05Ce0.90O2-δ as the model catalyst. The effect of temperature, solvents and co-oxidants was investigated in optimisation studies. A combination of acetonitrile, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and a temperature of 60 °C were found to be optimal after 24 hours and used for all catalysts. All catalysts were found to be active in styrene oxidation under these conditions, with styrene conversion as high as 69% over Ni0.04Ce0.96O2-δ, and selectivity to benzaldehyde and styrene oxide 38 and 26% respectively.

Most concrete currently used in pavement is based on Portland cement (PC), being responsible for 8-10% of total CO2 emission. Moreover, external pavements are subjected to exposure classes XF4 and XD3 which are related to corrosion and freeze-thaw. Freeze-thaw resistance is an important durability property of concrete, especially for concrete pavements that are subjected to the de-icing salts. This study was designed to explore the freeze-thaw resistance and mass scaling resistance of low carbon Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) in the presence of water and de-icing salts. Four different RCC mixes were used with a water/binder ratio of 0.45. PC was replaced with 80% ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) in all mixes to develop low carbon concrete and move towards a more sustainable cementitious composite. To assess the effectiveness of smart engineered additives, superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) were used at 0.3% by weight of total binder, and Polypropylene (PP) fibre with 12-mm length at fibre volume fractions of 0.3% for the mitigation of freeze-thaw damage. The compressive strength, freeze-thaw resistance, and mass scaling resistance of concrete specimens were evaluated. The results indicate that both additives improved the compressive strength and freeze-thaw resistance of concrete with and without de-icing salts. The inclusion of PP fibre was more effective compared to the addition of SAPs to mitigate the extent of internal structural damage and mass scaling of self-healing concrete mixes with respect to the reference concrete after 56 freeze-thaw cycles.

In the field of structural health monitoring, self-sensing cementitious binders have gained great attention over the past decades due to their high sensing performance and durability. In particular, self-sensing cementitious coatings have seen increased interest due to their high compatibility with concrete structures and their ability to monitor existing infrastructure while using low amounts of material and at lower costs. Geopolymer coatings display favorable characteristics for this application due to their innate electrical properties and high bond strength with concrete structures. Despite the research that has been carried out on self-sensing coatings, the effect of the interfacial bond between the coating and substrate on the coating’s sensing performance has not been investigated. Poor bonding between the two materials can lead to low-quality sensing measurements and data misinterpretation. In this paper, we aim to investigate the bonding effect on the sensing performance of self-sensing geopolymer coatings. For this study fly ash-metakaolin geopolymer coatings were applied onto concrete substrates; the concrete surfaces were treated by employing three different surface preparation methods: mechanical brooming, chemical treatment and the untreated cast surface. The bond strength for each preparation technique was measured with the splitting tensile bond test and the sensing response for the geopolymer coatings under repeated loading was also characterized. Through proper understanding of the interface between cementitious materials, sensing coatings can be tailored accordingly to achieve high sensing performance and thus allowing high-quality monitoring and proactive maintenance in civil infrastructure.

Part palletizing packaging is an important part of the logistics industry. Traditional manual palletizing can no longer meet today’s order volume. In order to improve the production efficiency of the palletizing process, a part flexible palletizing system was designed. The S7-1200 PLC was used as the controller, and the high-precision altimeter and length measurement photoelectric sensors were used to check the parts in real time, and the manipulator and the end actuator were used for grasping and stacking. The end actuator with multi-axis synchronous control technology is adopted to realize simultaneous grasping of multiple boxes of different specifications, which greatly improves the production efficiency and automation level of part palletizing. This flexible palletizing system and robotic gripping technology greatly improves the efficiency of gripping small objects and also allows for extended applications in the field of FAST disassembly and handling robots.

The introduction of Renewable and Recoverable Energies (R&R) into the energy mix is one of the major levers for reducing CO2 emissions, particularly for heat production. For To this end, energy systems must be put in place based in particular on innovative thermal storage technologies. The purpose of this communication is to present the MERLIN modelling/optimization environment (Hétreux G., 2022) which offers software components allowing the development of applications to help with dimensioning and operational management of multi-energy systems. By way of illustration, these tools are implemented through the study of a system composed of a concentrated solar power plant and a storage used to supply hot air to a food drying oven.

The enormous quantity of sewage water produced each day continues to present a serious challenge for its treatment and management. Sewage water is one of the most abundant sources of biomass, such as bacteria. Concrete, on the other hand, is the second most widely employed substance on the planet, after freshwater. Cracking of concrete is a major factor affecting the strength and durability of the material. The development of a crack pattern can contribute to increasing the permeability of concrete, which is typically associated with a significant decrease in its durability. Under specific circumstances, bio concrete is a self-healing biomaterial. Bacteria have the ability to precipitate calcite in concrete or form a layer of calcite precipitation, which plays a crucial role in the remediation of plastic shrinkage microcracks, thereby enhancing the structural integrity and durability of concrete over the long term. This paper summarises the study of investigating the possibility of using sewage water as a self-healing agent, using bacteria from different stages of treatment to heal cracks in concrete samples, and evaluating the effect of sewage water from different stages of treatment on fresh and hardened concrete properties. Based on the data collected from the experiments. Complete replacement of ordinary tap mixing water with sewage water from the Biological Reactor oxygen Zone achieved cracks healing of a crack width of 200 μm in less than 14 days without compromising the binder and mortar properties such setting time, slump value, compressive and flexural strength when compared to a reference sample made with tap mixing water.
