    • Assessing shielding material Performance: Benchmarking of Monte Carlo codes for oil shale and Basalt-Boron fiber concretes Hando Tohver a,* , Andrius Slavickas b , Maryna Holiuk c , Andrejs Krasn¸ i 

      Tohver, Hando; Motlep, Riho; Krasnikovs, Andrejs; Novakova, Iveta; Gulik, Volodymyr; Slavickas, Andrius; Holiuk, Maryna; Vaišnoras, Mindaugas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-12)
      Cement-based concretes are commonly used for managing radioactive waste due to their low cost and radiation shielding properties. However, the potential of using oil shale ash as an additive in waste packaging material has been overlooked. This study focuses on benchmarking and developing a Monte Carlo based modeling methodology using multiple transport codes (MCNP, SERPENT, SCALE, OpenMC, and ...

    • Bridging Law Application to Fracture of Fiber Concrete Containing Oil Shale Ash 

      Upnere, Sabine; Novakova, Iveta; Jekabsons, Normunds; Krasnikovs, Andrejs; Macanovskis, Arturs (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-07-23)
      Concrete is a widely used material in various industries, including hazardous waste management. At the same time, its production creates a significant carbon footprint. Therefore, intensive research is being conducted to create more eco-friendly concrete, for example, partially replacing cement with by-products such as oil shale ash (OSA) or improving properties by adding dispersed fibers such as ...

    • A Comprehensive Summary of Available Legislation and Practices in Demolition and Construction & Demolition Waste Management in the Arctic Region 

      Novakova, Iveta; Drozdyuk, Tatiana; Ohenoja, Katja; Ayzenshtadt, Arcady; Arntsen, Bård; Perumal, Priyadharshini; Dyvesveen, Martin Skjerve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-17)
      The need for better natural resource use is currently increasingly recognised, and high emphasis is given to the circularity of building materials and the reduction of activities with negative environmental impact. Legislation, guidelines, and other documentation play an important role in improving demolition activities and construction and demolition waste (CDW) management. Good practices in CDW ...

    • DEVELOPMENT OF METHOD AND CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION OF DRY-WASHING EFFICIENCY WITH RE-CON ZERO EVO 

      Novakova, Iveta; Norman, Sven-Henrik; Bista, Dipen (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
      Society recognises the need for the preservation of nature and the need for better resource utilisation. Integration of good practice in the building industry is mainly targeted at reducing or completely eliminating waste. One of the waste sources in the concrete industry is created in washing facilities and consists of returned concrete, washing water and cement slurry. Concrete trucks are washed ...

    • Evaluation of optimal replacement of natural aggregates by recycled concrete aggregates to achieve sufficient durability 

      Novakova, Iveta; Sjåfjell, Jørgen J.; Venkrbec, Vaclav (Preprint; Manuskript, 2022)
      The use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is one way to reduce the depletion of raw materials for the production of concrete. In this article RCA was tested and evaluated. Concrete with 25 to 80 % of RCA was examined in terms of its durability performance, particularly capillary absorption and shrinkage. Capillary absorption testing showed that RCA has better or identical results as the reference ...

    • Iron ore dust as a natural pigment in concrete with RCA for artwork application 

      Novakova, Iveta; Buyle, Boy-Arne; Ørmen, Lene Baadsvig (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
      A The innovative idea of utilization of iron ore dust (IODust), characterized by red hue typical for Narvik, came up during designing artwork for The Arctic University of Norway campus Narvik. The use of waste from iron ore production as a natural pigment was completed by partial replacement of natural aggregates (NA) by recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) to achieve a higher level of material ...

    • Low Carbon Concrete Possibilities: EPD and Regulations in Northern Periphery and Arctic 

      Novakova, Iveta; Perumal, Priyadharshini; Cwirzen, Andrzej; Wallevik, Olafur Haralds (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-14)
      Concrete is one of the most common building materials in the Northern Periphery and Arctic, and therefore we should pay attention to its quality while reducing its carbon footprint. The concrete industry has established many measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions from concrete, as stated in the environmental product declaration (EPD). The most significant contributor is cement (common dose ...

    • A Review on Emerging Cementitious Materials, Reactivity Evaluation and Treatment Methods 

      Jhatial, Ashfaque Ahmed; Novakova, Iveta; Gjerløw, Eirik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-05)
      Alternative to traditional concrete, sustainable concrete reduces cement content, waste management issues, and CO2 emissions. To achieve sustainable concrete, waste materials can be used as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to partially replace cement. Fly ash, ground-granulated blast furnace slag, and silica fume have been heavily studied as SCMs. However, due to the retirement of coal-fired ...
