In this review, we present a survey on hydrophobic surface treatments of concrete, important
protection tools against deterioration and corrosion phenomena. In the frame of a …

The topic of sustainability of reinforced concrete structures is strictly related with their
durability in aggressive environments. In particular, at equal environmental impact, the …

Low carbon or near-zero carbon concrete technology is in line with the pillars of sustainable
development, where industrial waste or low-carbon binders can reduce or eliminate …

The effect of combination between crumb rubber and steel fibers on the behavior of
reinforced concrete beams under static loads was investigated in this study. Crumb rubber …

The large amounts of waste glass and tires arouse a great interest in the use of recycled
crumb rubber (RCR) and glass cullet (RGC) as fine aggregates. However, there are …

To provide an eco-friendly disposal way of increasingly accumulated waste tyres and reduce
the environmental impact caused by the production of industrial fibres, this study explores …

The use of secondary materials from waste or debris is a strategy that has been considered
a starting point for the successful transition to the circular economy model. Globally, waste …

The mining industry produces large amounts of waste during the iron ore processing. This
material is usually discarded into tailing dams, posing high maintenance and monitoring …

In the present work the rheological, thermo-mechanical, microstructural, and wetting
characteristics of cement mortars with recycled expanded polystyrene (EPS) were analyzed …

The production of natural rubber latex (NRL) has increased significantly and its use,
particularly in construction materials, has been promoted and studied. The presence of NRL …
