Examining the perception of site workers of their risk-taking behaviours on construction sites in Ghana (2023)
Journal Article

Purpose: Although many health and safety (H&S) studies have widely examined safety risk perception in the construction industry, few studies have explored how this perception influences site workers' risk-taking behaviours during construction. This s... Read More about Examining the perception of site workers of their risk-taking behaviours on construction sites in Ghana.

Development of a Lytag-silica fume based lightweight concrete and corresponding design equation for pure bending (2023)
Journal Article

This study presents a novel Lytag-silica fume concrete (LSFC) for structural and other construction applications. The evaluation of compressive strength development and stress strain relationships of the LSFC light weight was carried out to determine...

A prototype low-carbon segmented concrete shell building floor system (2023)
Journal Article

Concrete shell structures offer a mechanically efficient solution as a building floor system to reduce the environmental impact of our buildings. Although the curved geometry of shells can be an obstacle to their fabrication and implementation, digit... Read More about A prototype low-carbon segmented concrete shell building floor system.

Circular economy landfills for temporary storage and treatment of mineral-rich wastes (2023)
Journal Article

Many countries face serious strategic challenges with the future supply of both aggregates and critical elements. Yet, at the same time, they must sustainably manage continued multimillion tonne annual arisings of mineral-dominated wastes from mining...
