The overall amount of construction and demolition waste (CDW) is steadily increasing due to urbanization-related phenomena in metropolitan cities. Only a small fraction is recycled to produce new concrete, a practice that would avoid the exploitation of natural aggregates. Furthermore, the Portland cement production process causes the release of hi...
Alkali-activated materials are a promising type of binder candidate as a substitute to Portland cement. Fly ashes can be used as binder precursors giving higher environmental benefits. In the present research, fly ashes (Type F) containing different amounts of unburned carbonaceous matter have been used to formulate mortars. Serious problems concer...
Composites formulated with an epoxy matrix, kenaf fibers, and the residuals of the wine industry are investigated at different compositions. The microstructure and the mechanical properties of the composites have been studied, as well as their moisture uptake. A proper mix design of the composite can allow the waste inclusion as filler either incre...
