Compost legacy effects in active roadside restoration: Medium‐term shifts in plant succession
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.Roadside restoration experiment established on volcanic tephra following road construction in Andean Patagonia. A single application of municipal (MC) or biosolids (BC) compost rapidly increased plant cover compared with untreated controls (C) but led to distinct, exotic‐dominated plant communities over 6 years.

Studies about the heat of hydration developed in mortars with natural and by-product materials
Materiales de Construccion, 2000 The heat of hydration developed in reactions of mortars and concretes can be sensibly reduced using pozzolanic materials. However, the decrease of the heat of hydration is not directly proportional to the amount of cement substituted, because of the heat

The impact of real estate projects and their sustainability characteristics on land values: cause or consequence? two case studies from Santiago, Chile [PDF]
, 2016 From the point of view of developers, there is the belief that location determines the main characteristics of real estate projects. On the contrary, the bid rent theory proposes that land receives value from that which it supports, as expressed by means

NEW LIGHTWEIGHT GYPSUM COMPOSITES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF LSF WALLS: A STUDY OF THERMAL BEHAVIOR
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 125-134, April 2026.Abstract This study analyses the thermal behaviour of a new lightweight gypsum material, developed in line with the principles of the circular economy, which has reduced the thermal conductivity of these compounds by up to 30.4%. Similarly, the contribution of these compounds to the energy efficiency of LSF walls with steel structures in different ...

Early age volume changes in concrete due to chemical shrinkage of cement paste
Materiales de Construccion, 1991 Unrestrained early age volume changes due to chemical shrinkage in cement pastes, mortars and concretes have been determined. The measurements were performed on sealed and unsealed samples which were stored under water.
