Alkali-Activated Stainless Steel Slag as a Cementitious Material in the Manufacture of Self-Compacting Concrete
(MDPI, 2021)
This work develops the manufacture of self-compacting concrete (SCC) with 50% cement reduction. As an alternative binder to cement, the viability of using an alkali-activated combination of stainless steel slag (SSS) and ...
Pollutant Potential of Reinforced Concrete Made with Recycled Plastic Fibres from Food Packaging Waste
(MDPI, 2021)
In our modern, fast-paced life, plastic is a versatile material essential to our economy; daily life is unthinkable without it. However, there are serious downsides for the environment and health, which are becoming more ...
Assessing Machine Learning Models for Gap Filling Daily Rainfall Series in a Semiarid Region of Spain
(MDPI, 2021)
The presence of missing data in hydrometeorological datasets is a common problem, usually due to sensor malfunction, deficiencies in records storage and transmission, or other recovery procedures issues. These missing ...
Compatibility studies between an indirect injection diesel injector and biodiesel with different composition: Stationary tests
(Elsevier, 2022)
Compatibility between automotive materials and biodiesel is key for engine manufacturers, since failures occur in the medium term and may significantly reduce engine useful life. There are only few studies about compatibility ...
Optimisation of mortar with Mg-Al-Hydrotalcite as sustainable management strategy lead waste
(MDPI, 2021)
This study analyses how a Mg-Al-Hydrotalcite with carbonate in the interlayer influences the hydration of mortar allowing the management of lead waste (solid or liquid) in a cement-based material. First, the compatibility ...
Feasibility of Using Nanosilanes in a New Hybrid Stabilised Soil Solution in Rural and Low-Volume Roads
(MDPI, 2021)
The application of new materials for soil stabilisation is a growing field of study in recent years. In this work, the effect of two types of silica-based nanomaterials combined with binders (quicklime and cement) are ...
Self-Compacting Recycled Concrete Using Biomass Bottom Ash
(MDPI, 2021)
In recent years, the use of self-compacting concrete has been a great advantage and garnered undoubted interest in construction. Due to the environmental impact caused by the consumption of natural aggregates in the ...
Feasible Use of Recycled Concrete Aggregates with Alumina Waste in Road Construction
(MDPI, 2021)
The management of different industrial by-products, such as recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste and alumina by-products, as well as the reduction of landfill deposits by incorporating these products ...
Health and safety conditions in workers' exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2021)
Introduction. Health workers are exposed to different biological pathogens, which implies a risk to their health and a cost to the system. In this population, the rate of work-related accidents and diseases is higher than ...
Antagonistic Potential of Native Trichoderma spp. against Phytophthora cinnamomi in the Control of Holm Oak Decline in Dehesas Ecosystems
(MDPI, 2021)
Phytophthora root rot caused by the pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi is one of the main causes of oak mortality in Mediterranean open woodlands, the so-called dehesas. Disease control is challenging; therefore, new alternative ...
