• 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 ...
    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
