Masonry and render mortars with tyre rubber as aggregate: Fresh state rheology and hardened state performances
(Elsevier, 2020)[Abstract:] This work shows how it is possible to tailor cement-rubber composites suitable as renders and masonry mortars with a reduced liquid water absorption. Recycled tyre rubber is used as aggregate in mixture with ... -
Internally cured high performance concrete with magnesium based expansive agent using coal bottom ash particles as water reservoirs
(Elsevier, 2020)[Abstract:] Shrinkage is one of the main concerns related to high performance concrete (HPC) durability. Its high density paste, consequence of a low water to binder ratio, can be unprofitable if cracks appear due to ... -
Effects of mussel shell aggregates on hygric behaviour of air lime mortar at different ages
(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 ... -
Quaternary blends of portland cement, metakaolin, biomass ash and granite powder for production of self-compacting concrete
(Elsevier, 2020)[Abstract:] Given the rising societal pressure towards sustainable waste management and resource efficiency, in a more circular economy, an increased use and diversification of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) ... -
Mussel shells: A canning industry by-product converted into a bio-based insulation material
(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 ...
