This investigation studies the influence of two different mineral admixtures, lithium nitrate (Li) and pozzolanic glass powder (PGP) on the expansion induced by alkali-silica reaction (ASR). Four numbers of concrete prisms were produced for each conc... Read More about Using lithium nitrate and pozzolanic glass powder in concrete as ASR suppressors.

It is frequently used to dismiss groups as selfish or ill-informed, as... Read More about "We're not NIMBYs!" Contrasting local protest groups with idealised conceptions of sustainable communities.

Properties of concrete contains mixed colour waste recycled glass as sand and cement replacement (2008)
Journal Article
Taha, B., & Nounu, G. (2008). Properties of concrete contains mixed colour waste recycled glass as sand and cement replacement. Construction and Building Materials, 22(5), 713-720. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2007.01.019

Mixed colour waste recycled glass is waste material that cannot be reused in glass industry. Concrete can be considered as an outlet for the surplus quantities of the mixed colour waste recycled glass. This research work studies the feasibility of re...

Stepping from the wreckage: Geography, pragmatism and anti-representational theory (2008)
Journal Article
and anti-representational theory. Geoforum, 39(4), 1600-1612. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2007.10.003

This paper draws out linkages between non-representational theory (NRT) and pragmatism. In doing so it sets NRT in a much wider, historical anti-representational movement. This should add momentum to its progress, and open up the considerable pragmat... Read More about Stepping from the wreckage: Geography, pragmatism and anti-representational theory.
