    • Analysis of Tensile Behavior of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Using Acoustic Emission Technique 

      Williams Portal, Natalie; Flansbjer, Mathias; Carro-López, Diego; Fernández, Ignasi (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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • Automated Control of the Fresh State of Industrial Concrete Behaviour by Rheometer Test Adjustment 

      Rojo-López, Gemma; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Carro-López, Diego; Martínez-Abella, Fernando (MDPI, 2023)
      [Abstract:] This study aimed to develop a rheometer prototype and define a procedure for adjusting the automated control of the fresh state of concrete. Sixteen batches were produced, and their fresh behaviour was measured ...

    • 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), ...

    • Comparing circulating fluidised bed fly ash and limestone as additions for cement 

      Carro-López, Diego; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Eiras López, Javier; Seara Paz, Sindy (Emerald Publishing, 2019)
      [Abstract:] Circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) power plants produce as by-product large ash particles with elevated calcium content. They are not commonly accepted as addition for cement although presenting ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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% ...

    • Influence of the Mixing Procedure on the Fresh State Behaviour of Recycled Mortars 

      González-Fonteboa, Belén; González-Taboada, Iris; Carro-López, Diego; Martínez-Abella, Fernando (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 ...

    • Long-term flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams with recycled coarse aggregates 

      Seara Paz, Sindy; González-Fonteboa, Belén; Martínez-Abella, Fernando; Carro-López, Diego (Elsevier, 2018)
      [Abstract:] The aim of this study is to investigate the behaviour of recycled aggregate concrete subjected to sustained loading. For the tests, eight reinforced concrete beams were manufactured with recycled coarse aggregate, ...

    • 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)
