This is the final report for the Driving Increased Utilisation of Cool Roofs on Large Footprint Buildings project, providing case studies about how cool roof technology reduces the amount of heat transmitted into buildings on hot days, and in turn the amount of air-conditioning required for cooling.

The increasing demand for fast heavy haul services with greater axle loads, as well as high speed commuter trains, poses a serious challenge for the stability of tracks on the problematic ground. The use of artificial inclusions such as polymeric geosynthetics for enhanced soil-structure interaction and rubber mats made from recycled rubber tyres to absorb the strain energy and reduce ballast breakage and track damage is described in this paper as a cost-effective option. In this study, a series of large-scale laboratory tests took place to determine how well these geogrids could attenuate the impact, cyclic stress, and corresponding mitigation …
