Cajas de trabajabilidad como herramienta de diseño de hormigones autocompactantes con árido reciclado
(Universitat Politècnica de València UPV, 2018)[Resumen:] En este trabajo se diseñan siete hormigones autocompactantes convencionales y de cada uno de ellos se obtienen tres hormigones autocompactantes con árido grueso reciclado de hormigón (utilizando sustituciones ... -
Determining the U-Value of Façades Using the Thermometric Method: potentials and limitations
(MDPI, 2018)[Abstract:] The thermal transmittance of building envelopes determines to a large extent the energy demand of buildings. Thus, there is a keen interest in having methods which can precisely evaluate thermal transmittance. ... -
Recycled concrete with coarse recycled aggregate. An overview and analysis
(CSIC, 2018)[Abstract:] The construction field has contributed to environmental degradation, producing a high amount of construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) and consuming large volumes of natural resources. In this context, ... -
Ultimate Capacity of Corroded Statically Indeterminate Reinforced Concrete Members
(Springer, 2018)[Abstract:] The corrosion of steel reinforcement is commonly believed to be the primary cause of structural deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures; as a result of this deterioration, a RC structure can incur ... -
Effect of fine and coarse recycled concrete aggregate on the mechanical behavior of precast reinforced beams: Comparison of FE simulations, theoretical, and experimental results on real scale beams
(Elsevier, 2018)[Abstract:] In this work, we present the effect of using coarse and fine recycled aggregate jointly as a partial replacement of natural aggregate in self-compacting concrete in the mechanical performance of precast beams. ... -
Concrete with fine and coarse recycled aggregates: E-modulus evolution, compressive strength and non-destructive testing at early ages
(Elsevier, 2018)[Abstract:] The combined use of fine and coarse recycled aggregates in the manufacture of concrete has multiple advantages from the economic and environmental points of view. There is a lack of knowledge about the behavior ... -
Influencia de las variaciones en los materiales sobre la reología de hormigones autocompactantes reciclados
(Universitat Politècnica de València UPV, 2018)[Resumen:] Este trabajo se centra en el análisis de la influencia de las variaciones de materiales sobre el comportamiento reológico de los hormigones autocompactantes fabricados con árido grueso reciclado. Se diseña un ... -
Evaluation of self-compacting recycled concrete robustness by statistical approach
(Elsevier, 2018)[Abstract:] The use of self-compacting recycled concrete appears as to be a very interesting technology for the sustainable construction future. However, one of the major obstacles to a more widespread use of self-compacting ... -
Alkali-activated slag concrete: Fresh and hardened behaviour
(Elsevier, 2018)[Abstract:] The behaviour of fresh and hardened alkali-activated slag (AAS) and OPC concretes was compared and the effect of mixing time assessed. OPC and AAS concrete slump and rheological results proved to differ, ... -
Thixotropy and interlayer bond strength of self-compacting recycled concrete
(Elsevier, 2018)[Abstract:] This work is focused on assessing the thixotropy of self-compacting recycled concrete (SCRC) and on evaluating the interlayer bond strength. To do so, four SCRC mixes with 0%, 20%, 50%, and 100% of recycled ... -
Robustness of self-compacting recycled concrete: analysis of sensitivity parameters
(Springer, 2018)[Abstract:] This work is focused on understanding the origin of the lower robustness detected in self-compacting recycled concretes and on identifying the parameters affecting this property to a greater extent. A reference ... -
Flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams made with recycled concrete coarse aggregate
(Elsevier, 2018)[Abstract:] This work deals with the flexural performance of recycled concrete subjected to increasing loads up to failure. For this purpose, eight reinforced concrete beams were made with recycled coarse aggregates using ... -
Long-term flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams with recycled coarse aggregates
(Elsevier, 2018)[Abstract:] The aim of this study is to investigate the behaviour of recycled aggregate concrete subjected to sustained loading. For the tests, eight reinforced concrete beams were manufactured with recycled coarse aggregate, ... -
Estimating Adaptive Setpoint Temperatures Using Weather Stations
(MDPI, 2019)[Abstract] Reducing both the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of buildings is nowadays one of the main objectives of society. The use of heating and cooling equipment is among the main causes of energy consumption. ... -
Estudio comparativo de los métodos para evaluar la transmitancia térmica en cerramientos opacos en el invierno mediterráneo
(Instituto de Ciencias de la Construcción Eduardo Torroja (IETcc-CSIC), 2019)[Resumen:] En España, la mayor parte del parque inmobiliario presenta un comportamiento energético deficiente. Para paliar dicha situación, se debe analizar, entre otros aspectos, su envolvente. De las diferentes propiedades ... -
The effect of recycled aggregates on the accuracy of the maturity method on vibrated and self-compacting concretes
(Elsevier, 2019)[Abstract:] Fine and coarse recycled aggregate used jointly as partial replacement of natural aggregate is not allowed for structural concrete in many international standards. More studies about it are needed toward more ... -
Certificación energética en BIM
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2019)[Abstract]: The BIM methodology stands out for trying to group the different stages of design, management, maintenance and even demolition and reincorporation into the environment of a building. These stages, also known ... -
Impact of mussel shell aggregates on air lime mortars. Pore structure and carbonation
(Elsevier, 2019)[Abstract:] Galician “Rías”·conditions (extension, water temperature …. ) enable the production of excellent quality cultured mussels. This leads Spain to be the third producer country in the world. Cannery industry (35% ... -
Design and properties of cement coating with mussel shell fine aggregate
(Elsevier, 2019)[Abstract:] The production of farmed mussels amounts to millions of tonnes across over 40 countries. Shell waste resulting from this production has a very significant environmental impact. In Galicia, mussel shell waste ... -
