Climate change and resource and energy depletion are already impacting ecosystems and societies around the world. As a result, environmental sustainability has become one of humanity’s priority challenges. This study aims to use ecological mult...
The water ingress plays an important role in building materials’ degradation. The use of lightweight aggregates is interesting in terms of sustainability, because they reduce the density of cement-based materials, among other advantages. The de...
The use of lightweight aggregates in construction materials is a good solution for increasing the contribution to sustainability of civil engineering works, such as maritime ones. In this regard, the possibility of using cork granulates and expanded...
Thermal mortars incorporating insulating aggregates are a possible solution to ensure good thermal performance and thermal comfort in buildings due to their low thermal conductivity coefficient. Under some circumstances, namely for particular in-serv...
Statistical models using multiple linear regression are some of the most widely used methods to study the influence of independent variables in a given phenomenon. This study’s objective is to understand the influence of the various components of aer...
