Circular economy: Upcycling wood byproducts from the Azores into building insul...
Daruari, Harish; Peixinho, Ana; Rocha, Antonieta; Gaspar, Florindo; Mendonça, PauloThe promise of transforming wastes from the Azores into building materials is the focus of this research. The insulation properties of some of these materials can be advantageous to the building construction sector. These materials are upcycled into non-structural components of the building such as panels for ceilings and walls as a factor to control thermal comfort economically. In this paper, insulation panel...

Solla, Mercedes; Gonçalves, Luísa M. S.; Gonçalves, Gil; Francisco, Carina; Puente, Iván; Providência, Paulo; Gaspar, Florindo; Rodrigues, HugoNon-destructive testing (NDT) techniques play an important role in the characterization and diagnosis of historic buildings, keeping in mind their conservation and possible rehabilitation. This paper presents a new approach that merges building information modeling (BIM) with environment geospatial data obtained by several non-destructive techniques, namely terrestrial laser scanning, ground-penetrating radar, ...
Experimental study on 3D printing of concrete with overhangs
Brun, Francis; Gaspar, Florindo; Mateus, Artur; Vitorino, João; Diz, FranciscoThe construction industry has been receiving in the recent past years the 3D printing technology as an emerging technology. Several researchers and companies have been reporting a number of case studies that show the possibilities of this technology regarding the dimensions, shape, building time, finishing and the material characteristics. It is commonly accepted that one of the big advantages of 3D printing is...

Building insulation materials based on agricultural wastes
Gaspar, Florindo; Bakatovich, Aliaksandr; Davydenko, Nadezhda; Joshi, ArpanEcological insulation materials of vegetable raw materials are increasingly widespread. The agricultural wastes can have an interesting role because their use allows the revaluation of agricultural wastes, whose disposal is a serious issue. This chapter gives an overview about the use of agricultural wastes on insulating materials. The source and characteristics of various types of wastes are described. The man...
Composite material for thermal insulation based on moss raw material
Bakatovich, Aliaksandr; Gaspar, FlorindoThe demand for thermal insulation materials composed of sustainable raw materials remains a challenge. The substances used in the manufacture of thermal insulation materials may also, under certain conditions, have a beneficial effect on the insulated surfaces, the environment, and the human or animal body, in particular by the ability to absorb moisture and biocidal properties. Ecological insulation materials ...
