    • 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 ...
    • Alkali-activated slag concrete: Fresh and hardened behaviour 

      Puertas, Francisca; González-Fonteboa, Belén; González-Taboada, Iris; Alonso López, María del Mar; Torres Carrasco, Manuel; Rojo-López, Gemma; Martínez-Abella, Fernando (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, ...
    • 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), ...
    • Use of granular coal combustion products as aggregates in structural concrete: Effects on properties and recommendations regarding mix design 

      Rodríguez-Álvaro, Roberto; Seara Paz, Sindy; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Martínez-Abella, Fernando (Elsevier, 2021)
      [Abstract:] This review collates the results obtained in more than 100 scientific publications regarding the performance of concrete with granular coal combustion products (GCCP, commonly referred to as coal bottom ash in ...
    • 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 ...
