Published in 2019 at "Construction and Building Materials"

DOI: 10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2019.01.222

Abstract: Abstract Repairs in rammed earth walls are often necessary mainly because of degradation occurring during the life time of a building with continuous environmental exposure. The defects that arise in the walls are generally associated… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Buildings"

DOI: 10.3390/buildings15203751

Abstract: Cementitious composites with recycled plastic often suffer from reduced strength. This study explores the partial substitution of cement with industrial by-products in plastic-based mortar mixes (PBMs) to enhance performance while reducing environmental impact. To achieve… read more here.
