This paper evaluates the use of hydrated Portland cement as the raw material in the production of geopolymers. The silicon and aluminium oxides needed for the geopolymerization process were produced by the carbonation of ...

[EN] Autogenous healing is mainly produced by continuing hydration or carbonation. The aim of this research is to quantify the crack closing produced by autogenous healing for early-age concrete. This healing was evaluated ...

[EN] As Building Information Modelling (BIM) is being increasingly adopted through private businesses in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation (AECO) Industries, new tools, procedures, and functionalities ...

[EN] The industry of construction is a huge waste producer. This work, developed from both materials and sustainability fields, pretends to evaluate the hydrated cement waste. The principal scope is to produce a new ...

[EN] One of the most important environmental problems today is the high concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Its origin lies in human activities, including industry, transport and construction. Construction activity ...

Purpose Blended cements use waste products to replace Portland cement, the main contributor to CO2 emissions in concrete manufacture. Using blended cements reduces the embodied greenhouse gas emissions; however, little ...

[EN] The use of eco-friendly cements prepared with ternary binders could contribute to improving the sustainability of cement production. However, their use for manufacturing commercial cements is very low, at least in ...

[ES] Hoy en día, los materiales cementicios están presentes en la gran mayoría de las infraestructuras de nuestro entorno, como pueden ser el hormigón y el mortero, debido a su bajo coste y sus características mecánicas ...
