    Article
    Open Access
    ARNÓ, con la colaboración de la Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, ha desarrollado una herramienta de cálculo, denominada ECCO2, para estimar los impactos ambientales de mezclas bituminosas producidas con distintos ...

  • Temperature and loading rate susceptibility of bituminous mixtures on monotonic testing 

    Botella Nieto, Ramón; Pérez Jiménez, Félix Edmundo; Miró Recasens, José Rodrigo; Martínez Reguero, Adriana Haydée; López Montero, Teresa (International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM), 2020)
    Conference report

    Europe is the second world producer of pulp and paper, representing 23% of world production and an annual turnover of €180 billion (1.26% of the European GDP). [1]. According to the Confederation of EU Paper Industries ...

  • Especificaciones sobre la adherencia entre las capas de un firme, tensiones cortantes de cálculo y tensiones admisibles 

    Ortiz Ripoll, Jorge; Miró Recasens, José Rodrigo; Crisén Grau, Xavier (2020-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    Se propone un nuevo método de cálculo, de carácter semi-empírico, desarrollado en el marco del proyecto de investigación SUPERBIT, para obtener la máxima solicitación a cortante a la que puede hallarse sometida la unión ...

  • Soil stabilization using waste paper fly ash: precautions for its correct use 

    Baloochi, Hani; Aponte Hernández, Diego Fernando; Barra Bizinotto, Marilda (2020-12)
    Article
    Open Access
    This paper deals with the valorization of waste paper fly ash (WPFA) as a binder for soil stabilization. The mineralogical characterization shows the presence of free lime, as well as some non-reactive and cementitious ...

  • Impactos ambientales de mezclas bituminosas recicladas en caliente, semicalientes y templadas 

    Ortiz Ripoll, Jorge; Crisén Grau, Xavier; Martínez Reguero, Adriana Haydée; Miró Recasens, José Rodrigo (2020-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    For some years, reducing bituminous mix temperatures has been a common trend among asphalt producers because it is a very effective way to reduce energy consumption and atmospheric emissions of asphalt plants, along with ...

  • Transport of moisture and chlorides into sprayed concrete 

    Aponte Hernández, Diego Fernando; Barra Bizinotto, Marilda; Valls del Barrio, Susanna; Fernández Carrasco, Lucía (2020)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    This contribution is a study of the durability and transport properties of sprayed concrete used in an actual construction site. It considers whether concrete spraying can generate different porosities as the thickness of ...

  • Assessment of moisture effect on open graded mixes using water sensitivity and Cántabro after immersion tests 

    Rubio, Baltasar; Jiménez, Rafael; Pérez Jiménez, Félix Edmundo; Martínez Reguero, Adriana Haydée (CRC Press, 2009)
    Conference lecture
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In Spain, water damage on the cohesion of porous asphalt (PA) and asphalt concrete for very thin layers (BBTM mixtures with a void content over 12%) was assessed using the Cántabro after immersion test (NLT-352). European ...

  • Semi-empirical method for the calculation of shear stress, stiffness and maximum shear strength of bituminous interfaces under in-service conditions

    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The structural response of a flexible pavement as a whole depends on the adherence between the bituminous layers, which are rarely found to be fully bonded or completely detached. In order to define the degree of bonding ...

  • Ladle steel slag in activated systems for construction use 

    Aponte Hernández, Diego Fernando; Soto Martín, Oriol; Valls del Barrio, Susanna; Barra Bizinotto, Marilda (2020-08)
    Article
    Open Access
    The construction industry needs to reduce greenhouse gases, in which cement production is currently responsible for generating between 4% and 6% of the total CO2 released into the atmosphere. Similarly, many industries ...

  • GPR spectra for monitoring asphalt pavements 

    Pedret Rodés, Josep; Martínez Reguero, Adriana Haydée; Pérez Gracia, María de la Vega (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-06)
