  • Macrobiological degradation of esterified wood with sorbitol and citric acid 
    Treu, A.; Lina Nunes; Larnoy, E. (MPDI, 2020-07-19)
    There is a need for new solutions in wood protection against marine wood borers and termites in Europe. A new solution could be the esterification of wood with sorbitol and citric acid (SCA) since these are inexpensive ...
  • Bond behaviour between steel / stainless-steel reinforcing bars and low binder concrete (LBC)

    The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of sediment flushing on the morphology of artificially embayed beaches using field data and numerical modelling. The sandy stretch of Cova-Gala in the West ...
  • Influence of laboratory aggregate compaction method on the particle packing of stone mastic asphalt 
    Miranda, H.; Batista, F. A.; Antunes, M. L.; Neves, J. (Construction and Building Materials, 2020-06-27)
    The type of aggregates and their packing characteristics under compaction are key factors for the design of asphalt mixtures with improved performance, namely, with respect to resistance to permanent deformation. A good ...
  • 3D survey modelling for damage assessment in rubble-mound breakwaters under oblique wave incidence 
    Lemos, R.; Peña, E.; Santos, J. A.; Sande, J.; Figuero, A.; Alvarellos, A.; Laiño, E.; Reis, M. T. L. G. V.; Fortes, C. J. E. M.; Kerpen, N.B.; Coelho, R. (Sapienza Università Editrice, 2020-01)
    Several authors have proposed guidelines on how to consider the effects of oblique waves on the stability of armour layers of rubble-mound breakwaters. Especially for very oblique waves, for which the increase in stability ...
