Considering carbon as another criterion on deciding the optimum material mix (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Nawarathna, A., Siriwardana, M., & Umar, T. (in press). Considering carbon as another criterion on deciding the optimum material mix.

Embodied carbon (EC) of a building is directly proportional to its used materials and their quantities. Therefore, material selection is a crucial juncture of a building development that cannot be disregarded in attempting to reduce the EC share of w...

An experimental investigation on strength characteristics of concrete using Wastepaper Sludge Ash (WPSA) (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Umar, T., Tahir, A., Umeokafor, N., Nawarathna, A., Zia, A., & Honnur Vali, M. S. (in press). An experimental investigation on strength characteristics of concrete using Wastepaper Sludge Ash (WPSA).

This study explores an experimental investigation in finding the strength characteristics of the concrete made with the addition of (WPSA) as a cementious material. The WPSA has some sort of pozzolanic properties and is high in silica, magnesium and...
