Journal ArticleDOI
Natural hydraulic lime based grouts – The selection of grout injection parameters for masonry consolidation
Ana Bras,Fernando M.A. Henriques +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology for testing grout injectability in a porous media like masonry is proposed, which is a logical tool to use in grout optimization concerning specific applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cement-cork mortars for thermal bridges correction. Comparison with cement-EPS mortars performance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the advantage of cork-mortars for renderings when compared to EPS-mortars, from a thermal characteristics point of view, namely in steady and unsteady conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of sustainable alkali-activated bricks using industrial wastes
TL;DR: In this paper, a review on the development of sustainable bricks by alkali-activation of industrial wastes is presented, in which the influence of parameters on physico-mechanical and durability related properties are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of environmental temperature and fly ash addition in hydraulic lime grout behaviour
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of environmental temperature and fly ash in fresh grouts behavior was investigated and an attempt was made to achieve an optimal grout composition by using the Taguchi method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cork-based mortars for thermal bridges correction in a dwelling: Thermal performance and cost evaluation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulate the behavior of cork-based mortars in the minimization of energy consumption and condensation effects in an existing dwelling from the 1980s built in Lisbon, Portugal.
