Welcome to the SARCOS Project Publications section, showcasing the journal papers and conference proceedings that disseminate the research on steel–concrete composite slabs with recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Here, you will find the scientific contributions presented at national and international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals, highlighting the key experimental activities, numerical modelling approaches, and durability studies carried out within the project. Through this section, the SARCOS project shares its progress and results with the wider community, supporting the transition toward more sustainable and circular construction practices.
