New Journal – Vol 1 Issues 1 and 2 published and free to read!
Editors-in-chief: Professor Michael Shaver, Department of Chemistry, University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
Professor Qing Wang, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Pennsylvania State University, PA, USAWith increased strain on petroleum resources and growing markets in China, India and across the globe, the importance of fiscally and environmentally responsible materials has never been higher. These green materials build from the field of green chemistry, the utilization of principles to reduce or eliminate hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. At the most basic level, research in green materials looks to develop alternatives to traditional materials or processes that offer an environmental advantage.
The focus of Green Materials relates to polymers and materials, with an emphasis on reducing the use of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of products.

- Sustainable development indicators for major infrastructure projects
- The paper presents ongoing research to develop a sustainability enhancement framework for the major Dundee Central Waterfront urban re-development project. The enhancement concept recognises a need to ensure that sustainability is considered in decision-making at all stages of major projects to ensure a more sustainable outcome overall. The paper describes a set of procedures, developed by the authors and drawn from IT and knowledge management fields, to identify appropriate indicators and ensure the effective incorporation of sustainability issues throughout the Central Waterfront project decision-making processes. The procedures include the production of information flow diagrams to identify the wide range of stakeholders involved in the project and their means of interaction, and decision flow maps to identify and categorise use of the information by the stakeholders. The paper reviews current sustainability indicators related to infrastructure provision in the UK and Europe, emerging indicators from Scottish government, EU commission and research groups, and presents a set of strategic ‘sustainable development benchmark indicators’ suitable for enhancing the sustainability of the Central Waterfront project. Conclusions are drawn on the appropriateness of the indicators for assessing sustainable infrastructure provision.
- The design of temporary excavation support to Eurocode 7
- This paper examines how Eurocode 7 relates to the design of temporary excavation support. It is shown that total stress design and the net available passive resistance method described in Ciria Report 104 can produce inconsistent results, which must be carefully checked for sensitivity to the soil parameter values used. Many temporary excavations are designed using moderately conservative soil parameter values and a limit equilibrium method of analysis with a lumped factor of safety of 1·5. It is concluded that design in accordance with Eurocode 7 produces higher propping forces than design using this approach, but that Eurocode 7 produces propping forces over 60% lower than design in accordance with Ciria Report C580.
- Shear stiffness of granular material at small strains: does it depend on grain size?
- The shear stiffness of granular material at small strain levels is a subject of both theoretical and practical interest. This paper poses two fundamental questions that appear to be interrelated: (a) whether this stiffness property is dependent on particle size; and (b) whether the effect of testing method exists in terms of laboratory measurements using resonant column (RC) and bender element (BE) tests. For three uniformly graded types of glass beads of different mean sizes (0·195 mm, 0·920 mm and 1·750 mm), laboratory tests were conducted at a range of confining stresses and void ratios, using an apparatus that incorporates both RC and BE functions and thus allows reliable and insightful comparisons. It is shown that the small-strain stiffness, determined by either the RC or BE tests, does not vary appreciably with particle size, and it may be practically assumed to be size independent
- Environmental benefits of new waste management facilities in Manchester, UK
- In 2002, the Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority drew up a long term strategy for improving recycling rates, providing waste processing and achieving resource and energy recovery. This strategy recognises the imperative to reduce disposal of biodegradable waste to landfill and thereby to reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon dioxide footprint arising from the conventional disposal of municipal waste. To implement the strategy, a £3·8 billion, 25-year private finance initiative contract was developed and awarded in April 2009 for the construction and operation of waste disposal facilities to process domestic refuse arising from nine of the ten boroughs within Greater Manchester. The new facilities include 25 household waste recycling centres, seven transfer loading stations, four in-vessel composting plants, a materials recovery facility and five mechanical biological treatment plants. This paper describes environmental benefits arising from the scheme including increased recycling rates, optimisation of carbon impact from transportation, energy from waste (by way of combined heat and power from generating and utilising biogas arising from on-site anaerobic digestion facilities), nutrient capture and recycling (through British Standard PAS100 and Animal By-product Regulations compliant composting) and improved environmental performance (including odour control) of the upgraded facilities.
- Samuel Beckett Bridge, Dublin, Ireland
- The Samuel Beckett Bridge, Dublin City’s newest bridge, is now established as a landmark movable structure spanning the maritime gateway to the city. The bridge is located east of the city’s centre and within the ‘heart’ of the newly developed docklands area, facilitating an important urban transport link for private car use, public transport, cyclists and pedestrians; and contributing towards the improved environmental, commercial and social development of the urban area in which it is located. The bridge is a Calatrava-designed, cable-stayed, steel box girder structure, with a span, across the River Liffey, of 123 m. The bridge, which rotates through 90°, has an asymmetric shape reflecting that of a harp laid on its side, with the base to the cable-stayed steel pylon set outside of the river’s navigational channel – 28 m from the river’s south quay wall. The pylon curves northwards to a point 46 m above the water level with 25 forestay cables set in a ‘harp’ formation. This paper describes the basis of the bridge’s structural and operational design, and the manner in which the main river support was constructed, and the superstructure fabricated and positioned.
