TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results from a research program on principal indicators that define the durability of self compacting concrete (SCC) and compare these indicators with the corresponding parameters of conventional concrete.

TL;DR: In this article, the response of adobe bricks to compressive loading is investigated and the experimental data is used for the formulation of a constitutive model that describes adobe's full stress-strain response.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the cradle-to-site LCA of adobe production and examined different production scenarios: (i) on-site production with locally available soil and transported straw or sawdust, (ii) onsite manufacturing with transported soil/straw, and (iii) in factory production, and they found that the use of sawdust instead of wheat straw leads to improved environmental performance of the end-product.

TL;DR: The RILEM Technical Committee 271 ASC critically reviews the literature on salt crystallization tests, identifies advantages and limitations of the several test protocols and provides new ideas for the development of improved Salt crystallization procedures.

TL;DR: According to a rough estimate, nearly a quarter of a billion migratory birds fly through the island during the two periods of migration, thus supporting the role of the island as a stopover of great importance.
