Eco-efficient boards with agro-industrial wastes
Cintura, Eleonora; Faria, Paulina; Duarte, Marta; Nunes, LinaPublisher Copyright: © 2023 The Authors; Laboratory tests were carried out to evaluate the feasibility of producing boards or coating panels with good hygrothermal performance by using different agro-industrial wastes (grape and olive press wastes, hazelnut shells, spent coffee and pine) and adhesives (gypsum-based binder, sodium silicate solution and starch-based glue). Hygrothermal properties and resistance t...
Bio-Wastes as Aggregates for Eco-Efficient Boards and Panels: Screening Tests o...
Cintura, Eleonora; Faria, Paulina; Duarte, Marta; Nunes, LinaPD/BD/150579/2020 UIDB/04625/2020; Screening tests were developed or adapted from RILEM recommendations, standards and past studies, and carried out to characterize some agro-industrial wastes and to assess their feasibility as aggregates for eco-efficient building composites. Spent coffee grounds, grape and olive press waste and hazelnut shells were used, as well as maritime pine chips as control material. Par...
Agriculture and Sustainable Tourism for the Consolidation of Peace in Colombia
Cintura, Eleonora; Nunes, Lina; Faria, PaulinaBD/PT/15057/2020; Nowadays different organizations carry on international cooperation programs to boost relationships with the most disadvantaged parts of the world. These projects allow people and countries to work together for a common aim. They also allow improving knowledge in different fields, sharing information and favouring a mutual exchange between the involved parts. This paper describes a cooperation...
Characterization of agro-wastes to be used as aggregates for eco-efficient insu...
Cintura, Eleonora; Nunes, Lina; Faria, PaulinaPD/BD/150579/2020; This work derives from the awareness of the environmental impacts caused by the construction sector. Since building products are one of the main causes of this issue, the incremental use of local natural eco-friendly materials can moderate this problem, guaranteeing lower energy consumption for production and transport. Nowadays, research is increasingly focused on the possibility of using bi...
Agro-industrial wastes as building insulation materials
Cintura, Eleonora; Nunes, Lina; Esteves, Bruno; Faria, PaulinaThis study investigates the possibility of using agro-industrial wastes for building products, mainly focusing on their insulation properties. A classification of bio-wastes is provided, namely of the lignocellulosic ones and their features and properties are described. Information about three main topics is collected: world production and consumption of some crops already used as building materials, their chem...
Effects of hygrothermal, UV and SO2 accelerated ageing on the durability of ETI...
Parracha, João L.; Borsoi, Giovanni; Veiga, Rosário; Flores-Colen, Inês; Nunes, Lina; Garcia, Ana R.; Ilharco, Laura M.; Dionísio, AméliaExternal Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) have been extensively used for either new constructions or building facades retrofitting in the last decades. These systems can provide improved thermal performance to the building envelope. However, their long-term durability remains a pervasive concern, with some systems presenting relevant anomalies after few years from their application. The durability a...
