1. Technological properties of a self-bloating clay and expanded-clay aggregate for the production of lightweight concrete
Abstract The global interest in an increasingly sustainable economy, with a reduction in the consumption of raw materials and energy, can be supported by the growth in the use of lightweight concrete (LC) produced with expanded-clay aggregates (EA). The main qualities of natural self-bloating clay for the production of EA were studied, analyzing the paramete

2. Optimum design of steel columns filled with concrete via genetic algorithm: environmental impact and cost analysis
Abstract The use of concrete-filled tubular columns as part of structural systems has steadily increased throughout the years. The growing demand for structural elements of this nature is a direct result of the possibility to use various cross-section shapes that have increased strength, along with resistance to fire and other corrosive agents. The main obje

3. Pressed roofing tile based on cementitious material and basalt powder: Technological and toxicological characterization
Abstract This study aims to develop a pressed concrete roofing tile from powder technology containing basalt powder in substitution of fine sand (aggregate) for application in building covers. Specimens were submitted to technological and toxicological characterization. Hence, pressed specimens based on cement and basalt powder were analyzed. In the bending

4. Evaluation of the influence of sodium and magnesium lignosulfonates on the hydration kinetics of cementitious paste
Abstract Motivated by their low cost, lignosulfonate-based water reducers are the most used type of admixture in the concrete industry worldwide. Due to the plurality of types of lignosulfonates (LSs) and the recent update to the Brazilian standard for admixtures for concrete, the objective of this work was to investigate the impact of sodium (Na-LS) and mag

5. Mullite macro-needles for reinforcement of refractory castables
Abstract Ceramic macro-needles incorporation as reinforcement in commercial refractory castable was studied. Ceramic macro-needles (Ø2x20 mm) were made from kaolinite clay and gibbsite to obtain mullite as the main crystalline phase. Specimens with the ceramic reinforcement were evaluated by compression after being treated at two temperatures (815 and 1400

6. Evaluation of the use of blast furnace slag as an additive in mortars
Abstract Clinker is the raw material used in the manufacture of cement. However, this material is very harmful to the environment, since it is estimated that for every ton of clinker produced, about 1.0 ton of CO2 is released into the atmosphere. For this reason, alternatives were sought for the use of other materials that are less harmful to the environment

7. Colorectal Cancer: Comparative Analysis Between Two Series of Patients Separated by More Than Three Decades
Abstract Aim This study characterizes Colorectal Cancer (CRC) incidence in the University Hospital Ramon and Cajal, Madrid, and analyzes variations over time. It establishes risk groups, aiming to discover whether diagnosis can be determined in less advanced stages of disease. Method Evolutionary epidemiological study of genetic and environmental factors c

8. Numerical formulation for nonlinear analysis of concrete and steel shells with deformable connections
Abstract A two-dimensional interface finite element capable of associating flat shell elements positioned one above the other was developed. The implemented interface element can physically simulate the contact between the flat shell elements and connect the reference planes of the shell elements above and below it. The formulation presented allows considera

9. Study of the interaction of concrete walls with the foundation structure
Abstract This article presents a study of the factors that influence the mechanism of soil-structure interaction with a pilot building having concrete walls and their impact on their performance. To illustrate the studies carried out, a numerical modeling of a four-floor concrete wall pilot building was performed, subjected to vertical actions, supported by

10. Numerical analysis of collapse modes in optimized design of alveolar Steel-concrete composite beams via genetic algorithms
Abstract The objective of this study is to present the formulation and applications of the optimization problem of steel-concrete composite alveolar beams. In addition to presenting the formulation, a comparative analysis of the predominant collapse modes is performed numerically via the finite element method. The optimization program was developed with the

11. Clarifying the theoretical basis of the global geometric imperfection analysis (out-of-plumb columns)
Abstract The concrete structures present several geometric deviations, some of them considered indirectly in the safety factors of the design. However, the imperfections of the element axes, especially columns, should be explicitly considered in the structural analysis because they have great influence over the building stability. The NBR 6118:2014, Brazilia

12. Reliability and geotechnical safety applied to deep foundations in precast concrete piles - case study
Abstract The Brazilian standard pertinent to the design and execution of foundations, NBR 6122/2019, establishes that the safety inspection of foundations of a given project must be conducted based on compliance with specified safety factors. Safety factor verification is imperative to meet regulatory requirements; however, it is not enough to guarantee the
