Analyzing the effects of clogging of PA internal structure with artificial soiling experiments
International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2019 Clogging of porous asphalt (PA) pavements as a result of long-term soiling effects is a well-known phenomenon in road construction. This kind of deterioration effect causes a gradual loss of noise reduction and drainage which are the extraordinary ...

Black Layers of Decay and Color Patterns on Heritage Limestone as Markers of Environmental Change
Geosciences, 2016 Air pollution induces the development of black crusts on the surface of built heritage materials. Black layers on the limestone used on an emblematic Madrilenian building dating from the early twentieth century, mainly built up in the 20 years lapsing ...
