Assessment of mussel shells building solutions: A real-scale application
Martínez-García, Carolina; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Carro-López, Diego; Pérez Ordóñez, Juan Luis (Elsevier, 2021)[Abstract:] The construction sector is a key generator of greenhouse emissions, so the use of alternative low-emission building materials is a growing tendency. This work describes and analyses an innovative sustainable ... -
Assessment of Mussel Shells for the Development of Different Bio-Based Building Materials
Martínez-García, Carolina (2020)[Abstract] Assessment of mussel shells for the development of different bio‐based building materials Cultured mussels are produced worldwide, and Spain is one of the top producers, being the shores of Galicia the centre ... -
Carbonation evolution of lime putty coatings with mussel shell aggregate
Martínez-García, Carolina; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Carro-López, Diego; Martínez-Abella, Fernando (Elsevier, 2020)[Abstract:] The carbonation process is studied from young ages up to 2 years in mortars with fine mussel shell aggregate. Mussel shell aggregate affects lime mortars due to its shape (angular and flaky) and texture (smooth), ... -
Cunchas de mexillón para o desenvolvemento do material de construción
Martínez-García, Carolina; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Carro-López, Diego (ADEGA (Asociación para a Defensa Ecolóxica de Galiza), 2021)[Resumo:] Proxecto Biovalvo, desenvolvido polo Grupo de Construción da Universidade da Coruña (UDC) e coa participación de diversas empresas, incluíu entre os seus obxectivos a aplicación das cunchas de mexillón como ... -
Design and properties of cement coating with mussel shell fine aggregate
Martínez-García, Carolina; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Carro-López, Diego; Martínez-Abella, Fernando (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 ... -
Effects of mussel shell aggregates on hygric behaviour of air lime mortar at different ages
Martínez-García, Carolina; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Carro-López, Diego; Martínez-Abella, Fernando (Elsevier, 2020)[Abstract:] Mussel shells, composed of calcium carbonate (>95%) and organic matter, are suitable alternatives to conventional sand in mortar. In addition, the use of lime instead of cement as a binder has also been considered ... -
Estudio del comportamiento de la concha de mejillón como árido para la fabricación de hormigones en masa: aplicación en la cimentación de un módulo experimental (Módulo Biovalvo)
Martínez-García, Carolina (2016)[Resumen] En este trabajo se ha estudiado el comportamiento de la concha de mejillón como árido para hormigones en masa. La concha de mejillón utilizada proviene de la industria conservera que produce más de un millón ... -
Impact of mussel shell aggregates on air lime mortars. Pore structure and carbonation
Martínez-García, Carolina; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Carro-López, Diego; Martínez-Abella, Fernando (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% ... -
Mussel shell mortars durability: Study of aggregate replacement limit
Martínez-García, Carolina; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Carro-López, Diego; Martínez-Abella, Fernando (Elsevier, 2023-12-12)[Abstract]: The knowledge acquired through previous experimental phases with coating mortars with mussel shell aggregates led to conclude that irregular, flaky and hydrophobic particles of the mussel shell and the organic ... -
Mussel shells: A canning industry by-product converted into a bio-based insulation material
Martínez-García, Carolina; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Carro-López, Diego; Pérez Ordóñez, Juan Luis (Elsevier, 2020)[Abstract:] The canning industry in Galicia produces 25 thousand tonnes of mussel by-product (i.e. unconsumed shells) per year, having a significant environmental impact. Mussel shell becomes suitable for different uses ...
