Phytoremediation potential depends on the degree of soil pollution: a case study in an urban brownfield
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC., 2023-04)Phytoremediation is a cost-effective nature-based solution for brownfield reclamation. The choice of phytoextraction or phytostabilization strategies is highly relevant when planning full-scale treatments. A suitable ... -
Ceramics for Building Structures Made from Contaminated Soils: A Fuzzy Logic Intelligence Approach to Circular Mining
(MDPI, 2023-05)Soils contaminated by mining activities are a major environmental concern, and to avoid this type of environmental impact, carrying out high-cost processes is necessary. For this reason, a solution is proposed in this ... -
Calculations of biaxial fatigue limits with models using the experimental crack direction
(Elsevier, 2023-05)Several models from the literature were used to predict the fatigue limit in notched components subjected to biaxial cyclic loading. The predictions of these models are based on the elastic stresses along a line which ... -
Study of PM2.5-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and anhydro-sugars in ambient air near two Spanish oil refineries: Covid-19 effects
(Elsevier, 2023)We report the results from a 12 month-long study of the organic compounds associated to PM2.5 samples collected around two petroleum refineries (4 samples/month/site) in two complex industrial zones reporting atmospheric ... -
Corrosion Effect in Carbon Steel: Process Modeling Using Fuzzy Logic Tools
(MDPI, 2023-07)Acid mine drainage (AMD), resulting from mining activities, poses a significant environmental concern. It adversely affects metallic materials, particularly carbon steel composites used in mining machinery and structures. ... -
Different evolution of tensile and compressive strength in concrete affected by acid mine drainage
(Elsevier, 2023)Although not many studies have analysed the effects of acid mine drainage (AMD) on the durability of concrete, it is clear that such an aggressive environment affects the different mechanical parameters of this material. ... -
Sensitivity Analysis in Mean Annual Sediment Yield Modeling with Respect to Rainfall Probability Distribution Functions
(MDPI, 2023-01)An accurate estimation of the mean annual sediment yield from basins contributes to optimizing water resources planning and management. More specifically, both reservoir sedimentation and the damage caused to infrastructures ... -
Impact of Potentially Toxic Compounds in Cow Milk: How Industrial Activities Affect Animal Primary Productions
(MDPI, 2023-04)Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) frequently coexist in soils near industrial areas and sometimes in environmental compartments directly linked to feed (forage) and food (milk) ... -
Applied methodology based on HEC-HMS for reservoir filling estimation due to soil erosion
(Sciendo, 2022)Authors propose a beneficial methodology for hydrological planning in their study. Prospective evaluations of the basins' net capacity can be done using the technique presented. The HEC-HMS (Hydrologic Modelling ... -
A Finite Element Method Integrated with Terzaghi's Principle to Estimate Settlement of a Building due to Tunnel Construction
(MDPI, 2023-05)This study presents the application of the finite element method integrated with Terzaghi’s principle. The definition of a model in oedometric or confinement conditions for settlement estimation of a building after the ... -
Fuzzy Logic Tools Application to the Characterization of Stress-Strain Processes in Waste Construction Dam Geopolymers: A New Circular Mining
(MDPI, 2022-12)The ceramics industry dedicated to the manufacture of building materials is a very significant cause of environmental pollution, and various research projects are being carried out to reduce the associated environmental ... -
Acid Mine Drainage Effects in the Hydrobiology of Freshwater Streams from Three Mining Areas (SW Portugal): A Statistical Approach
(MDPI, 2022-08)Aljustrel, Lousal and S. Domingos mines are located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB), one of the greatest massive sulfide ore deposits worldwide. These mines’ surrounding streams are affected by Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). ... -
Complete Generalization of the Equations for the Stress-Strain Curves of Concrete under Uniaxial Compression
(MDPI, 2023-04)The existence of more than thirty stress–strain equations, including those proposed by the government regulations in many countries, seems to indicate that additional, unifying, and at the same time generalizing research ... -
