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 ...
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. ...
Study of Different Granular By-Products as Internal Curing Water Reservoirs in Concrete
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract] The use of three different waste-based materials, i.e. ceramic recycled aggregate (CRA), mixed recycled aggregate (MRA), and coal bottom ash (CBA), as internal curing water reservoirs was investigated. Their ...
Deformation Recovery of Reinforced Concrete Beams Made With Recycled Coarse Aggregates
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract] The purpose of this research is to analyse the long-term deformations of reinforced concrete beams made of recycled coarse aggregates (RCA), using four different replacement ratios, 0%, 20%, 50% and 100%. For ...
Analysis of Tensile Behavior of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Using Acoustic Emission Technique
(RILEM Publications SARL, 2020)
[Abstract] Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) was processed from reinforced concrete edge beams sourced from a demolished bridge. This material replaced different ratios of coarse aggregate in a benchmark concrete. The ...
Influence of the Mixing Procedure on the Fresh State Behaviour of Recycled Mortars
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] The effect of two different mixing protocols on the fresh-state behaviour of self-compacting mortars with and without recycled sand was compared. For this purpose, the mortar mixes were designed considering three ...
Waste-Based Porous Materials as Water Reservoirs for the Internal Curing of Concrete. A Review
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] This review collates findings from more than 100 scientific publications regarding the performance of several waste-based porous materials (WASPORs) as water reservoirs for the internal curing of concrete. Results ...
Assessment of the Durability Dynamics of High-Performance Concrete Blended With a Fibrous Rice Husk Ash
(MDPI, 2022)
[Abstract] The present study examines the durability properties of Class 1 (50–75 MPa) high-performance concrete (HPC) blended with rice husk ash (RHA) as a partial replacement of CEM II B-L, 42.5 N. Six HPC mixes were ...
Masonry Mortars, Precast Concrete and Masonry Units Using Coal Bottom Ash as a Partial Replacement for Conventional Aggregates
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] Granular coal combustion products are problematic waste materials whose use as aggregates in concrete has been extensively studied. However, its integration into other non-structural materials and elements has ...
