An integrative approach RAMS-LCC to support decision on design and maintenance of rail track
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)
In this paper a RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety) – LCCA (Life Cycle Cost Analysis) mixed approach is proposed in order to support decisions on design and maintenance strategies of rail tracks. RAMS ...
Spatiotemporal analysis of the activity of residential development in Poland
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)
The objective of the study presented in the article is to determine the spatial diversification and determinants of construction activity in Poland between 2006 and 2015. Theoretical hypotheses and observations of behaviour ...
The impact of road familiarity on the perception of traffic signs – eye tracking case study
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)
Traffic sign visual information provides road users with the basic instructions regarding route selection, safety at intersections, warnings on physical obstacles on the road and safe route marking. The use of sophisticated ...
Research on fluoride removal from membranes rejected water
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)
The excess of fluoride in water intended for human consumption can cause some problems in health of consumers from concentrations over than 1.5 mg/L. A detailed study has been carried out for the removal of fluoride from ...
Heavy metals uptake by trees near a waste incinerator
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)
Incinerators produce energy burning virtually everything including waste, but emit pollutants such as heavy metals and carbon monoxide (CO). These substances can be uptaken by trees through their roots, leaves or stems. ...
Heavy metals leaching of MSWI bottom ash: effect of short-term natural weathering
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)
Municipal solid wastes incineration (MSWI) is an important part of the waste management systems in many European countries. Incineration process generates two main by roducts: fly ash (FA) and bottom ash (BA). Bottom ash ...
Reduction of apparent water losses
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)
The water loss levels are very different between European countries as water loss varies from 7% to 50%. According to data from the Lithuanian Water Supply Association, in 2015 about 124 mln. m³ of ground water was supplied ...
Sustainable urban development on the example of the housing deveopment of Zielona Góra (Poland), as a response to the climate policy of the European Union
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)
In the world, in Europe, and also in Poland the use of energy is growing rapidly, causing concern about the difficulty of supply, a depletion of non-renewable energy resources and the increase in negative impacts on the ...
Determination of parametres of the air-void system in airfield pavement concrete using computed tomography
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)
Immediately after completion airfield pavements begin a gradual deterioration that is attribute to several factors. One of the major elements contribute to airfield pavement deterioration is exposure to the environment ...
The influence of hydrated lime, Portland cement and cement dust on rheological properties of recycled cold mixes with foamed bitumen
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)
This article presents a laboratory evaluation of the viscoelastic properties of recycled base courses produced with different fillers. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of loading time and temperature ...
