The construction industry is vital for economic development, but it accounts 40% of energy consumption and 45% global greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, research has focused on reducing demand in homes, particularly through the development insulation materials. Sawdust a byproduct available annually Chile quantities exceeding 4.5 million tons. Therefore, objective study was to characterize physical thermal properties waste evaluate its use as material. Stability conductivity tests,...
Several authors have demonstrated improvements in the mechanical performance of asphalt mixes by including use fibers. However, it has also been reported that environmental assessments must address fiber from point view sustainability. In this study, a life cycle assessment is used to compare four different fibers (fiberglass, polyester fiber, aramid and cellulose fiber) commonly hot mix (HMA) stone mastic (SMA) mixes. Additionally, textile end-of-life tires (FiTyre) included comparison. The...
Abstract Introduction In south-central Chile, outdoor air pollution primarily originates as household from wood burning for heating. The effect of COVID-19 lockdowns on ambient levels in urban Chile may therefore be different trends observed cities where transportation and industrial emission sources dominate. Methods This quasi-experimental study compares hourly fine (PM 2.5 ) coarse 10 particulate matter measurements six monitoring stations (three reference grade beta attenuation monitors...
