The 7th MINRESCUE progress meeting was held at BRGM office in Paris on the 27th January 2023. The project reaches the time when first set of technical results can be produced as deliverable reports.

At this stage the utilization of CMWGs as additives to conventional and polymer concrete products is well investigated in course of comprehensive experimental tests. Also, the work on new constitutive model is near to the end. The future work will focus on the development of new products together with their assessment of the LCA analysis. The discussions led by Dr Rezania (the project coordinator) were focused on the potential of results exploitation and organization of the Project Symposium that will be held in Katowice in June 2023.

The MINRESCUE industry-oriented workshop, facilitated by SUBTERRA, was successfully held at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid on September 29, 2022. The full-day workshop was delivered in person and in virtual mode to a large number of participants from across industry and academia (> 800 full-duration streams).

The paper entitled "Double image stress point bounding surface model for monotonic and cyclic loading on anisotropic clays" by Hesam Dejaloud and Mohammad Rezania has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Acta Geotechnica (top journal in geotechnical engineering field). In this paper a novel methodology, namely DISP method, is introduced to capture soil's nonlinear behaviour inside the yield surface which can also capture the cyclic soil responses very accurately.

Thanks to successful SJTU-Warwick Joint Seed Fund, the group started an adventurous joint research project with Shanghai Key Laboratory for Digital Maintenance of Buildings and Infrastructure at SJTU, on the development of new phosphate-based cement from coal tailing and optimizing of its mixes’ rheology for three-dimension printing. Interesting outputs to follow!
