To improve the prediction of compressive strength and embodied carbon of low carbon concrete using a program algorithm developed in MATLAB, 84 datasets of concrete mix raw materials were used. The influence of water, silica fume and ground granular b... Read More about Optimisation of embodied carbon and compressive strength in low carbon concrete.

Acceptance should not be assumed. How the dynamics of social acceptance changes over time, impacting onshore wind repowering (2022)
Journal Article
Windemer, R. (2023). Acceptance should not be assumed. How the dynamics of social acceptance changes over time, impacting onshore wind repowering. Energy Policy, 173, 113363. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2022.113363

Local community acceptance is a key influence on wind farm siting decisions. However, there is a temporal limitation to much social acceptance literature in that it does not consider how perceptions of the local community may change over the operatio...
