Increased Durability of Concrete Made with Fine Recycled Concrete Aggregates Using Superplasticizers
(MDPI, 2016)
This paper evaluates the influence of two superplasticizers (SP) on the durability properties
of concrete made with fine recycled concrete aggregate (FRCA). For this purpose, three families of
concrete were tested: ...
Reduction of Leaching Impacts by Applying Biomass Bottom Ash and Recycled Mixed Aggregates in Structural Layers of Roads
(MDPI, 2016)
This research is focused on analyzing the environmental pollution potential of biomass
bottom ashes as individual materials, as mixtures manufactured with biomass bottom ashes and
granular construction aggregates, and ...
Upscaling the Use of Mixed Recycled Aggregates in Non-Structural Low Cement Concrete
(MDPI, 2016)
This research aims to produce non-structural concrete with mixed recycled aggregates
(MRA) in upscaled applications with low-cement content. Four slabs were executed with concrete
made with different ratios of coarse MRA ...
Effect of Attitudinal, Situational and Demographic Factors on Annoyance Due to Environmental Vibration and Noise from Construction of a Light Rapid Transit System
(MDPI, 2016)
The aim of this paper is to determine what non-exposure factors influence the relationship
between vibration and noise exposure from the construction of a Light Rapid Transit (LRT) system
and the annoyance of nearby ...
Testing the Suitability of a Terrestrial 2D LiDAR Scanner for Canopy Characterization of Greenhouse Tomato Crops
(MDPI, 2016)
Canopy characterization is essential for pesticide dosage adjustment according to vegetation
volume and density. It is especially important for fresh exportable vegetables like greenhouse
tomatoes. These plants are thin ...
Combined Effects of Non-Conforming Fly Ash and Recycled Masonry Aggregates on Mortar Properties
(MDPI, 2016)
This work evaluates the effects of using non-conforming fly ash (Nc-FA) generated in a
thermoelectric power plant as filler material for mortars made with natural sand (NA) and recycled
sand from masonry waste (FRMA). ...
Properties of Non-Structural Concrete Made with Mixed Recycled Aggregates and Low Cement Content
(MDPI, 2016)
In spite of not being legally accepted in most countries, mixed recycled aggregates (MRA)
could be a suitable raw material for concrete manufacturing. The aims of this research were as follows:
(i) to analyze the effect ...
Feasibility of Using Unbound Mixed Recycled Aggregates from CDW over Expansive Clay Subgrade in Unpaved Rural Roads
(MDPI, 2016)
Social awareness aims to increase practical skills, such as sustainable development, which
seeks to increase the use of different types of waste in construction activities. Although insufficient
attention is sometimes ...
Olive Crown Porosity Measurement Based on Radiation Transmittance: An Assessment of Pruning Effect
(MDPI, 2016)
Crown porosity influences radiation interception, air movement through the fruit orchard,
spray penetration, and harvesting operation in fruit crops. The aim of the present study was to develop
an accurate and reliable ...
