Synopsis

These scholarships will support the research into the classification of various wastes streams (e.g., mining wastes, glass, waste plastics) in terms of their suitability as replacement material for specialty concrete. In this project advanced material & analytical methods, and artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches will be employed to understand the micro and macro-mechanical behaviour of the repurposed waste concrete and the factors that influence this behaviour. This project is part of a broader study that will examine the business decisions, regulatory framework, and performance of repurposed waste concrete with various industry stakeholders.
