Use of Nanomaterials in the Stabilization of Expansive Soils into a Road Real-Scale Application
(MDPI, 2020)
Stabilization is a traditional strategy used to improve soils with the main objective of ensuring that this base is compliant with the technical specifications required for the subsequent development of different ...
Complete Real-Scale Application of Recycled Aggregates in a Port Loading Platform in Huelva, Spain
(MDPI, 2020)
The application of recycled aggregates (RA) from construction and demolition waste and crushed concrete blocks is a very important challenge for the coming years from the environmental point of view, in order to reduce the ...
Eco-Efficient Cement-Based Materials Using Biomass Bottom Ash: A Review
(MDPI, 2020)
In recent years the use of biomass for electricity generation in thermal and cogeneration plants has increased worldwide because it is an environmentally clean fuel whose impact measured in greenhouse gas emissions is ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effect of Processed Volcanic Ash as Active Mineral Addition for Cement Manufacture
(MDPI, 2022)
In the last quarter of 2021, there was a very significant eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma, belonging to the Canary Islands, Spain. It generated a large amount of pyroclastic volcanic materials, ...
Feasibility of using new sustainable mineral additions for the manufacture of eco-cements
(MDPI, 2024)
Due to a continuously developing population, our consumption of one of the most widely used building materials, concrete, has increased. The production of concrete involves the use of cement whose production is one of the ...
