Influence of carbon dioxide as a mixture component on the cement hydration

Concrete is the most widely material used in the construction industry. However, it has a great environmental impact, mainly because of cement manufacture and the inherent CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. This research intends to contribute to the reduction of the environmental impact of the concrete industry through the uptake of CO2 during...

Modular approach for the optimal wind turbine micro siting problem through CMA-ES algorithm (abstract)

Although, only in recent years, northern European countries started to install large offshore wind farms, it is expected that by 2020, several dozens of far and large offshore wind farms (FLOWFs) will be built. These FLOWFs will be constituted of a considerable amount of wind turbines (WTs) packed together, leading to an energy density increase....
