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 based on comparing technological behaviors, while the overall assessment of the so made building has been commonly overlooked. Thus, this papers shows the energy and mechanical performance of buildings with same structure design, building shape and envelopes characteristics but with different types of infill walls (IWs) which have been modelled by considering traditional materials (i.e. adobe and perforated fired clay bricks) and eco-materials, such as adobe and bricks made by using up to 10% and 17.5% of biomass bottom ashes, respectively. Building models have been designed in accordance with building codes, in terms of seismic and energy savings criteria. In addition, residential (RB) and non-residential (NRB) uses have been also considered for calculations. IWs had in all cases similar equivalent thermal transmittance, achieved by varying the air gap length between layers in order to establish a common comparative framework. Otherwise, IWs showed a different thermal capacity depending on used material within the wall construction. The analysis concluded that the mechanical behavior was similar in all cases, regardless the excess of weight added by adobes. Besides, in low height buildings the increasing of stiffness possesses an advantage for lateral loads resistance. In addition, by using adobe with ashes, 5% of equivalent CO2 footprint (i.e. from cradle to gate) and 4% of energy consumption may be saved. These savings must be even lower when the entire life cycle is considered, since adobes may be easily collected and reused without any treatments while fired clay bricks require further treatments.

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 ... -
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 ...
