The focus of this research is to optimize the bio-concrete mixture design containing natural plant-based fibres as well as to investigate and describe the properties of the developed materials. The main goal of the project is to produce a bio-concrete design that is sufficient to be used as an insulation …

Alternative business models have a hard time setting foot in the construction industry due to attractive interest rates of mortgages as well as the long life times of buildings. Developing new buildings is a significant investment for property owners and developers. As a result caution is naturally taken …

The aim of this research was to find out if Mycelium has the ability to replace stones in a roman arch bridge structure, by setting up the appropriate laboratory tests and by conducting a desk research to help identifying the best substrate out of the three substrates picked that will produce mycelium …

AgroProeftuin de Peel, opdrachtgever van dit onderzoek, is een organisatie die vernieuwing in de agrosector van Noordoost-Brabant wil stimuleren. Hierbij werken ze in die regio nauw samen met ondernemers (agrariërs) die zich bevinden op zandgronden. AgroProeftuin de Peel constateert dat het noodzakelijk …

Following the signature of the Paris Climate Agreement, governments developed policy to limit the anticipated warming of the climate. For the construction industry, this mostly involves economic use of raw materials and reducing power consumption in the production and use of buildings. In order to achieve …

Bulk molding compound (BMC) thermoset (bio) composites are difficult to recycle because they cannot be melted for reprocessing. However, this group of materials is often used in high-end applications where strength and lightweight materials are required, such as boat hulls, aircraft parts, car parts, …

1.2 Problem statement As previously mentioned, a fully biobased pedestrian bridge was built in 2016 in Eindhoven University of Technology, over the river Dommel. This was a 14m bridge made from hemp and flex-fibre base. The project was developed by multiple parties including CoE BBE. The initiators of …
