Various measures can be employed to decarbonise cement production, including clinker
substitution, alternative fuels, kiln improvements, and carbon capture and storage. In this …

The high fine-aggregate content of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) means that its
deformational behavior differs from that of vibrated concrete. SCC performance is further …

The large number of wind farms that will have to be dismantled in coming years is prompting
a search for reliable wind-turbine-blade recycling methods, but there is not yet a broad …

Replacing natural raw materials with industrial by-products can increase the sustainability of
Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), although its fresh and hardened behavior will usually …

The addition of by-products, such as recycled concrete aggregate and ground granulated
blast furnace slag, modify the in-fresh flowability of ordinary self-compacting concrete both …

Indirect estimation of compressive strength through non-destructive testing is key to
monitoring the strength of structural concretes used in construction and rehabilitation works …

Abstract The behavior of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is very sensitive to the use of by-
products in replacement of conventional cement or finer aggregate fractions. The high …

Laboratory technical studies demonstrate the feasibility of using the ornamental stone
processing waste (OSPW) for construction and building materials manufacturing. However …

Studies have been developed to evaluate the construction industry environmental impacts
based on eco-efficiency indicators. This work aims to complement impact assessment …

The environmental impact of the building sector is especially relevant during the
construction phase. Both the materials and the construction methods that are currently in use …
