Determinants of carbon dioxide exposure for residents and staff of nursing homes: a field monitoring study in Spain
(2025-04-15)
Article
Open AccessProviding high air quality is crucial to the health and well-being of older people living in nursing homes. A measurement study was undertaken in 22 communal rooms of five nursing homes in Spain to investigate the effects ... -
3D printed concrete as a source of recycled aggregates: potential for multi-recycling and CO2 sequestration
(2024-12)
Article
Open AccessAdditive manufacturing of concrete (3D printed concrete, 3DPC), is an emerging technology with numerous possible applications and benefits for the digital transition of the construction industry. At the same time, there ... -
Investigating students' subjective comfort with window-airing during the cold season: thermal sensation, humidity, air movement, and perceived air quality
(Elsevier, 2025-04)
Article
Open AccessBalancing the need for indoor air quality and thermal comfort during cold seasons is challenging for naturally ventilated schools. For students' health concerns, opening windows to ventilate during class time could be ... -

(Elsevier, 2025-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn recent years, significant advancements have been made in computational methods for analyzing masonry structures. Within the Finite Element Method, two primary approaches have gained traction: Micro and Macro Scale ... -
Hybrid grey box modelling of indoor air quality and thermal dynamics in indoor environments
(Elsevier, 2025-05-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe primary objective of this paper is to develop a hybrid grey box model that integrates air and thermal dynamics to improve accuracy in both domains. The methodology involved developing four grey box models to estimate ... -
A hydro-mechanical coupled method for assessing the influence of localised leakage at gasketed joints on the long-term behaviour of shield tunnels
(2025-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyLeakage defects at gasketed joints primarily induced by joint deformation and gasket ageing pose a significant challenge to the long-term safety of shield tunnels, leading to ground consolidation and structural deterioration ... -
Assessing the fluctuation of indoor thermal conditions in naturally ventilated classrooms through K-means clustering
(2025-01)
Article
Open AccessFor naturally ventilated classrooms, windows should be constantly open to maintain good indoor air quality during class times. However, it is unknown whether this would result in significant fluctuations in the indoor ... -
Cluster analysis for informing vulnerability assessment of masonry churches to natural hazards
(2025-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAccording to a census by the Catholic Church, Italy’s territory hosts more than sixty thousand buildings of worship. Most of these buildings were built between the first and the nineteenth century A.D., with a load-bearing ... -
Sustainable portland cement alternative: alkaline activation of ladle furnace slag as a precursor for eco-friendly building materials
(2025-05)
Article
Open AccessPortland cement (OPC) and steelmaking industries exhibit high production levels, and their industrial processes are not considered environmentally friendly, generating approximately 4%–7% of CO2 emissions worldwide. Both ... -
Experimental and theoretical analysis of auxetic cementitious composite: a comparative study with recycled and virgin steel fibers
(Elsevier, 2025-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis research investigated the development of auxetic cementitious composites (ACC) reinforced with recycled steel fibers (ranging from 0 % to 2 % volume in increments of 0,5 %). The mechanical and auxetic properties of ... -
A novel A-star algorithm-based approach to predicting the sealant performance of shield tunnel’s gasketed joints
(2025-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyJoint leakage is one of the major problems for shield tunnels. This paper proposes a novel approach to assessing the sealant performance of gasketed joints based on the A-star search algorithm. By treating the contact ... -
Durable structural recycled concrete for different exposure environments
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2025-02)
Article
Open AccessIn this work, the influence of limited percentages of coarse (CRCA) and fine (FRCA) recycled concrete aggregates (Type A recycled aggregates) on the durability properties of structural concrete was analyzed. Concretes were ...
