The influence of activated coal mining wastes on the mineralogy of blended cement pastes
(2016-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn recent years, kaolinite-based wastes are focusing the attention of researchers to obtain recycled metakaolinite, with consequent environmental and socioeconomic benefits. One of these lines of research is based on coal ... -
Chemical and mineral transformations that occur in mine waste and washery rejects during pre-utilization calcination
(2014-08-13)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe mineralogical content of coal mine waste consists primarily of inorganic compounds which can be converted into a metakaolin-based product under controlled activation conditions that is also a highly pozzolanic material. ... -
Mineralogical study of calcined coal waste in a pozzolan/Ca(OH)(2) system
(2015-05-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyActivated carbon mining waste influences the formation of hydrated phases, their saturation indexes and mineral stability fields during pozzolanic reactions. The behavior of these reactions is predicted in this study by ... -
Evaluation of steel structures integrity in a post-fire condition: case study of the Serradells sports centre in Andorra
(2022-10)
Article
Open AccessA new methodology is proposed for assessing the integrity of steel structures in a post-fire condition. The work includes a combination of numerical simulations and experimental techniques. A fire that affected the sports ... -
Effective moment of inertia and slenderness limits of reinforced concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete slabs
(2022-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFollowing the trend of updating methods that establish the minimum slenderness of concrete members based on the work by Rangan and Scanlon, this paper elaborates new formulations of the effective moment of inertia factor ... -
Application of life cycle assessment (LCA) for construction and demolition waste management: a Colombian case study
(2021)
Article
Open AccessThe construction industry not only consumes more raw materials and energy than any other economic activity, but also generates the largest fraction of waste, known as construction and demolition waste (CDW). This waste has ... -
Environmental performance assessment: a comparison and improvement of three existing social housing projects
(2022-06-01)
Article
Open AccessThe energy consumption of buildings accounts for 22% of total global energy use and 13% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the environmental performance of three social housing ... -
Transition planes for visual comfort: out view with complex fenestration system design at restaurants in Spain
(2021-04-01)
Article
Open AccessThis work deals with daylighting for quality indoor atmospheres, considering building skins. In recent years, almost all retrofit facades of restaurants are highly glazed façades, boosting glare, sun ray absorption and ... -
Preliminary proposal for an alternative wall lining panel based on molded recycled cellulose and designed for home wiring refurbishment of building interior partitions
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-05-01)
Article
Open AccessOld dwellings usually have shortfalls in insulation, acoustic and thermal, and in security of electrical services in the interior partition walls. A common building solution is to add a wall lining with a laminate base ... -
Basic digital image color analysis for nondestructive testing of setting and curing process of building products: application to thin render layers sprayed at building site
(2021-11-01)
Article
Open AccessMany building products are put in place in liquid or plastic state. During the first hours and days, the products set and dry, changing their mechanical properties, and their visual aspect also changes in parallel because ... -
Innovative shear transfer system for Concrete Filled Steel Tubes (CFST) in columns
(2021-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe common failure mode of composite steel-concrete structural elements, such as composite columns, generally occurs due to the relative slipping or separation of the steel sheet and the concrete. This leads to materials ... -
