Feasibility of Using a Lignin-Containing Waste in Asphalt Binders
(Springer, 2020)
[Abstract:] A lot of water waste streams are produced during the production of hardboard panels. This paper analyses the feasibility of using a lignin-containing waste from the hardboard industry in asphalt binders. It ...
Rainwater Harvesting Techniques to Face Water Scarcity in African Drylands: Hydrological Efficiency Assessment
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] The sub-Saharan climate is experiencing a marked increase in temperature and intensification of precipitation intensity and variability. Besides, longer dry spells are compromising the reliability of local ...
Numerical Simulation of Bitumen Emulsion-Stabilised Base Course Mixtures With C&D Waste Aggregates Considering Nonlinear Elastic Behaviour
(Elsevier, 2020)
[Abstract:] This study presents the numerical modelling of a load-volume road pavement section with bitumen emulsion-stabilised base courses. The base courses used natural and construction and demolition aggregates. A 3D ...
The Influence of Economic Barriers and Drivers on Energy Efficiency Investments in Maritime Shipping, From the Perspective of the Principal-Agent Problem
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] Maritime transport stands out as a strategic sector; the increasing trend in maritime traffic makes it essential to reduce energy consumption and emissions through investment in energy efficiency. However, ...
Development and Calibration of a New Dripper-Based Rainfall Simulator for Large-Scale Sediment Wash-off Studies
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] Rainfall simulators are useful tools for controlling the main variables that govern natural rainfall. In this study, a new drop-forming rainfall simulator, which consists of pressure-compensating dripper grids ...
Crashworthiness Analysis and Enhancement of Aircraft Structures Under Vertical Impact Scenarios
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2020)
[Abstract] This research focuses on the crashworthiness study and enhancement of commercial aircraft
structures by developing crushable energy absorbers to work as vertical struts. To assess their
contribution on a ...
Feasibility of using recycled concrete aggregates on half-warm mix asphalt
(Springer, 2018)
[Abstract:] The present study describes a laboratory investigation on the feasibility of reusing construction and demolition waste as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) to manufacture half-warm mix asphalt (HWMA) instead ...
Estudio del efecto de ceras reductoras de la viscosidad en un betún modificado con caucho
(Asociación Española de la Carretera, 2013)
[Resumen:] Debido a una creciente preocupación sobre el calentamiento global, la industria de las mezclas bituminosas está haciendo un constante esfuerzo para lograr disminuir sus emisiones mediante la reducción de las ...
Performance of Bituminous Mixtures Involving Construction and Demolition Waste
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2020)
[Abstract:] The incorporation of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) from construction and demolition waste (CDW) in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) could be a way to promote sustainable construction. This paper describes a laboratory ...
Evaluation of Two Laboratory-Based Design Methods for CIR Mixtures
(2019)
[Abstract] In this laboratory research, two different methods for the design of cold in-place recycled (CIR) asphalt mixtures were compared. By the one hand, the current Spanish design method described in the Circular Order ...
