    Comparative Analysis of the Thermal Conductivity of Handmade and Mechanical Bricks Used in the Cultural Heritage

    Get PDF
    During interventions to improve the energy efficiency of cultural heritage, it is common to use methodologies that are used for current buildings with different thermal behaviour. For this reason, research has been carried out on the thermal behaviour of old brick walls by carrying out thermal flow tests in the laboratory on brickwork specimens, in order to compare the behaviour of handmade bricks and mechanical bricks from more than a century ago, and to analyse the relationship between the values of thermal conductivity, humidity, density and porosity, as well as to compare these results with those obtained by applying the procedure of the EN-1745 standard. It was concluded that bricks behave thermally differently, depending on the manufacturing process: handmade or mechanical, in both types of brick it was found that the higher the moisture content and density were, the higher the brick’s thermal conductivity value. It has also been concluded that old bricks have thermal conductivity values different from those indicated in EN-1745 as a function of density, and that the ratio detected in these specimens in the dry state and in the wet state does not conform to the processes indicated in the standard. With regard to porosity, it is important to note that the greater the closed porosity, the lower the conductivity. It has been concluded that in order to intervene in cultural heritage buildings, it is necessary to carry out a specific study of the behaviour of the systems with which they were constructed.Spanish Government BIA2015-68449European Commission BIA2015-68449Universidad de Valladoli

    The authors would like to thank the reviewers for their thoughtful comments and efforts towards improving our manuscript.This work was supported by the REMINE Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions and RRRMAKER H2020-MSCA-RISE-2020 (Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange and was carried out under the auspices of Research Groups RNM 0179 and HUM 629 of the Junta de Andalucia. Funding for open access charge: Universidad de Granada/CBUAThis research evaluates the chromatic behavior of gypsum-based pastes containing added pigments which enable their use in both new construction projects as well as in restoration interventions for built heritage. Furthermore, the impact of adding pigments to the aforementioned material after twenty-eight and ninety days has also been studied. This was confirmed by carrying out compositional, mineralogical and physical studies of the raw materials and the pastes. The results indicate that all of the pastes studied have suitable mechanical strength values for the type of pastes studied, thereby confirming their suitability for on-site use based on their characteristics and behavior. Colorimetric analysis showed color variations that were clearly perceptible to the human eye, related to increases in luminosity which significantly exceeded 100%, and also to saturation losses featuring percentage variations of more than 100% on assessment after ninety days. This colorimetric analysis by means of quantitative spectrophotometry is of vital importance when determining the loss of color intensity of the pastes used, since subjective observation results in serious errors of interpretation. This type of study reflects the use of instrumental color measurements for this type of materials and mixtures.REMINE Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie ActionsRRRMAKER H2020-MSCA-RISE-2020 (Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff ExchangeJunta de Andalucia RNM 0179 HUM 629Universidad de Granada/CBU

    Improving the Behaviour of Green Concrete Geopolymers Using Different HEMP Preservation Conditions (Fresh and Wet)

    Get PDF
    This paper evaluates a type of geopolymer concrete that uses hemp fibres as a natural aggregate due to the various advantages offered by these woody materials. These advantages include ease of cultivation and processing and their use in the essential structure of concretes used for green construction purposes. The sampling study was prepared using an environmentally friendly inorganic binder, based on geopolymerization reactions (Si-Na). The improvement in the hemp aggregate using two different preservation methods (fresh and wet) was assessed. The type of conservation enables anaerobic reactions to take place in the structure of the hemp, in such a way as to modify the proportions of the organic compounds contained in the hemp and the morphology of the fibres. It also encourages the proliferation of cellulose nanofibrils (CNC), which enhance the mechanical results, improving plasticity and thixotropy. The hempcrete studied in this paper could be a good alternative material for sustainable, environmentally friendly construction, as much less CO2 is emitted during the production process in comparison with conventional concrete. Using wet-preserved hemp means that less water must be added to the mix during preparation of the concrete. This also helps reduce production costs, and by extension, the cost of the final product.REMINE Project Programme for Researchand Innovation Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, Horizon 2020, WARMEST Project Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) H2020-MSCA-RISE-2017RRRMaker project Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff ExchangeNational Plan for Scientific Research, Development, Technological Innovation (Ministry of Science and Technology) MAT2016-75889-RScientific Unit of excellence "Ciencia en la Alhambra",University of Granada UCE-PP2018-01 Junta de Andalucia RNM 0179 HUM62

    Study and Characterization of Special Gypsum-Based Pastes for Their Use as a Replacement Material in Architectural Restoration and Construction

    Within the construction sector, the use of gypsum-based pastes features in the majority of monuments, giving this material significant relevance in conservation and restoration projects affecting the world’s cultural heritage. In this research, we evaluated special gypsum-based colored pastes mixed with air lime, hydraulic lime and sodium silicate, and eight different pigments for their use as replacement materials in architectural restoration and construction. We analyzed the suitability of their physical and chemical properties and their hydric characteristics, mechanics and colorimetric implications in two different studies after 28 days and 120 days. The characterization of the products has mainly confirmed the suitability of the pastes containing pigments for use in the most common applications for these kinds of mixes, highlighting that their specific capacities are worth leveraging. The crystallization of gypsum minerals, observed in all of the mixes, helps to consolidate the shrinkage cracks which appear inside the pastes, improving their mechanical strength values. Another observation of the pastes is related to the amorphous silica precipitates in the mixes which contained sodium silicate: the latter provided to them good mechanical behavior. The improvement observed in the pastes containing the green earth pigment is substantial, due to the inclusion of aluminum silicates and Mg, which is partly responsible for the increased compressive strength of the pastes. Finally, the colorimetric analysis is of vital importance in determining the loss of intensity of the colors of the pastes used, since subjective observation leads to serious errors of interpretation.REMINE Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions WARMEST H2020-MSCA-RISE-2020 (Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange)Junta de Andalucia RNM 0179 HUM 62

This heritage site is under study in the framework of the European research and knowledge transfer project, WARMEST. There is an increasing variety of digital tools that promise to improve people's experience with heritage sites, to enhance the value of heritage and contribute to the socio-economic development of the territories. A strategy is proposed for Marzamemi underwater heritage site, where communication efforts give potential visitors a sense of the destination that motivates them to choose it and encourage them to talk widely about their experience. To this end, digital tools are a great asset in establishing such a communication strategy to increase information about this heritage on the various websites and social networks related to Marzameni, so that knowledge of Marzameni's underwater heritage would undoubtedly be enhanced.European Commission 77798

    Método simplificado de gestión de construcción mediante la aplicación en dispositivos móviles

    Get PDF
    La necesidad de ordenar y optimizar los procesos en el seguimiento de la ejecución de las obras de construcción ha provocado que algunas empresas de dirección y gestión de proyectos desarrollen su propio modelo basado en la experiencia, creando un método de trabajo para el seguimiento de obras de construcción con el objeto de documentar de manera ordenada y controlar adecuadamente los procesos a través de un dispositivo móvil. La base parte principalmente de la definición de una cuadrícula denominada grid, de dimensiones variables según el tipo de proyecto, fase, unidad de obra, o elemento que se desee representar. La aplicación consiste en introducir datos, marcando el avance sobre la cuadrícula mediante el uso de la huella digital, de modo que, el sistema permitirá, a partir de los datos, generar documentos como las relaciones valoradas y certificaciones de la obra ejecutada y llevar un seguimiento actualizado del control de costes. Esta metodología permite de manera sencilla e intuitiva monitorizar la producción por unidades de obra, por capítulos o por fases, u otros elementos definidos por el usuario hace disponer de una información de producción homogénea, con una sistemática de toma de datos y una frecuencia temporal, se obtienen instantáneamente unas curvas de producción y KPI’s que, además, pueden segmentarse en función de la tipología de proyecto, de la fase de obra, del capítulo de obra, de la unidad de obra, del contratista adjudicado, o de la Dirección de obra que ha supervisado. También permite obtener información asociada que posteriormente comparará con otros proyectos futuros, detectando en estados tempranos de producción posibles desviaciones y acometer, en su caso, medidas correctoras. Los resultados obtenidos tras la aplicación en distintos casos de proyectos, comprendidos entre los años 2005-2014, garantizan la validez del modelo, que a su vez ha permitido el desarrollo de un software que agiliza la toma de datos, la estructuración de la información, la generación de informes y el desarrollo de modelos de referencia entre proyectos similares.Consejo General de la Arquitectura Técnica de Españ
