Adobe bricks reinforced with paper & pulp wastes improving thermal and mechanical properties
Muñoz, Pedro; Letelier, Viviana; Muñoz, Luis; Bustamante, M. A. (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. ... -
Assessing technological properties and environmental impact of fired bricks made by partially adding bottom ash from an industrial approach
Muñoz, Pedro; Letelier, Viviana; Muñoz, Luis; Gencel, Osman; Sutcu, Mucahit; Vasić, Milica Vidak (Construction and Building Materials, 2023)Over the past few decades, the fired clay brick industry has searched for industrial wastes to substitute raw clay deposits and lessen their impact on the environment. Despite several investigations showing positive results, ... -
Assessment of anaerobic digestion of food waste at psychrophilic conditions and effluent post-treatment by microalgae cultivation
Muñoz, Pedro ; Cordero, Cecilia; Tapia, Ximena; Muñoz, Luis ; Candia, Oscar (Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy, 12/2019)Anaerobic digestion (AD) of food waste (FW) has become of great interest in recent years due to the high organic removal rates and positive net energy balance. However, two key issues should be highlighted. On the one hand, ... -
Assessment of economical biogas production from chilean municipal solid waste in a decentralized off-grid strategy
Muñoz, Pedro ; Muñoz, Luis ; Cordero, C; Bibire, L; Morales, M P (Applied Ecology and Environmental Research, 2018)The management of municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of biggest challenges that developing countries are currently facing. Despite several environmental friendly alternatives being available, in Chile 90 % of MSW is ... -
Assessment of technological performance of extruded earth block by adding bottom biomass ashes
Muñoz, Pedro ; Letelier, Viviana; Muñoz, Luis ; Zamora, D. (Journal of building engineering, 2021)The search for more sustainable construction materials has led researchers to reconsider ancient techniques, such as earth-based construction materials (EBCMs). These have been lately highlighted as a feasible way of ... -
Choosing the Most Suitable Antiseismic Device Technology for High-Rise Buildings, by Considering the Mechanical Response and Environmental Impact
Dominguez, D.; Muñoz, Pedro; Muñoz, Luis (International Journal of Civil Engineering, 2023)In recent years, several earthquakes have drawn the attention of researchers to the effectiveness of antiseismic devices (AD) and structural designs. These elements certainly influence building safety, but they also impact ... -
Impact of using lightweight eco-bricks as enclosures for individual houses of one story on zones of high seismicity
Domínguez, David; Muñoz, Pedro; Muñoz, Luis (Materiales de Construcción, 2017)Fired clay bricks are widely developed by focusing on the use of several wastes with the aim of obtaining lightweight materials. Despite research having provided positives experiences, most of these showed an important ... -
Implications of life cycle energy assessment of a new school building, regarding the nearly zero Energy Buildings targets in EU: A case of study
Muñoz, Pedro; Morales, M P ; Letelier, Viviana; Muñoz, Luis ; Mora, Daniel (Sustainable Cities and Society, 07/2017)Lately EU has promoted several policies with the aim of reducing buildings energy impact. Despite such policies have successfully contributed to reduce residential buildings (RBs) energy consumption, non-residential buildings ... -
The combined effect of bottom ashes and cellulose fibers on fired clay bricks
Muñoz, Pedro ; Letelier, Viviana; Muñoz, Luis ; Bustamante, M. A.; Gencel, Osman; Sutcu, Mucahit (Elsevier Ltd, 2021)The paper and pulp industry (PPI) is permanently searching for new ways of managing its residues due to the increasing pressure of new environmental concerns and policies adopted worldwide. In addition, the manufacturing ... -
The effect of infill walls made by eco materials on mechanical response, energy performance and CO2 print of residential and non-residential low-rise buildings
Muñoz, Pedro; Domínguez, David; Morales, M P; Muñoz, Luis; Sánchez-Vázquez, R. (Energy and buildings, 2021)With the aim of both reducing environmental footprint and improving technological properties, several construction materials have been successfully manufactured using using waste. However, the assessment has commonly been ...
