Characterisation of recycled concrete aggregates when used in asphalt concrete: a technical literature review
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2015)
[Abstract:] Concrete is one of the most widely used construction and building materials. When a concrete structure reaches the end of its life, the demolition waste may be used to produce recycled concrete aggregates (RCA). ...
Improvement of the Critical Speed in High-Speed Ballasted Railway Tracks With Stone Columns: A Numerical Study on Critical Length
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] The pressure to achieve a higher speed of train operation has increased in the last few years due to the development of high-speed railway lines. In the presence of soft soils, this speed increase is not possible ...
Effect of ageing time on properties of hot-mix asphalt containing recycled concrete aggregates
(Elsevier, 2014-02-15)
[Abstract] This study describes a laboratory evaluation on the effect of ageing time on the primary properties of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) containing recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) from construction and demolition waste ...
Waste management in civil engineering: a dynamic framework
(“Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi, 2015)
[Abstract:] The recycling and later use of construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) as construction materials present a strategic inconvenience for many stakeholders involved in the sustainable construction. In some ...
Multi-criteria Characterization and Mapping of Coastal Cliff Environments: a Case Study in NW Spain
(Elsevier, 2020-07-17)
[Abstract] This paper presents a novel approach to characterize cliff exposure to marine action that combines wave power and biology. This multidisciplinary approach is illustrated through a case study on a coastal stretch ...
Critical Length of Encased Stone Columns
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] Encased stone columns are vertical inclusions in soft soils formed by gravel wrapped usually with a geotextile. Their critical length is the one where further lengthening of the column provides a negligible ...
Critical analysis of the sustainable consumption of bitumen in asphalt concrete mixtures made with recycled concrete aggregates from construction and demolition debris
(HARD Publishing Company, 2015)
[Abstract:] The frequent construction and demolition of buildings and civil works causes excessive waste of energy and natural resources. It is generally accepted that asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures made with recycled ...
Impact of construction and demolition waste aggregates on stripping in hot mix asphalt
(TRB, 2010)
[Abstract:] This paper analyzes the effect of water on the durability of hot asphalt mixtures made with recycled aggregates from construction and demolition debris. Indirect Tensile Stress tests were carried out to evaluate ...
