Adobe bricks reinforced with paper & pulp wastes improving thermal and mechanical properties
(Construction and Building Materials, 09/2020)Soil-based building material has been used since ancient times but lately it has been mainly considered for restoration purposes of traditional architecture instead of an eco-friendly construction material for new buildings. ... -
Effects of expanded vermiculite on the properties of fired bricks from water treatment sludge
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022)In the present study, the suitability of using water treatment sludge (WTS) as the main raw material and expanded vermiculite (EV) as aggregate in the production of fired bricks was investigated. Mixtures containing between ... -
Feasibility of using paper pulp residues into fired clay bricks
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 07/2020)In accordance with global estimations, approx. 15 million tons of residues are yearly generated from paper and pulp industry, which are traditionally used as biofuels or just disposed in landfills. However, residues ... -
Fired clay bricks made by adding wastes: Assessment of the impact on physical, mechanical and thermal properties
(Construction and Building Materials, 10/2016)The addition of residues into clay matrix has been widely reported and reviewed during last decade. The heterogeneity of wastes and the lack of detailed information make difficult to provide an overall framework for comparing ... -
The role of specific heat capacity on building energy performance and thermal discomfort
(Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022)The key role of the building and construction sector, in terms of sustainability and decarbonization, has led building codes to tighten mandatory requirements related to buildings energy performance. Envelope quality, ...
