ECON4SD-Strategies for future The ECON4SD project is specialized in developing and promoting the smart specialization strategies for modern sustainable constructions. Our multi-group team works with national and international partners from academia and industry to develop components and design models for resource and energy efficient buildings, to realize a great modularity, flexibility, adaptability and upgradability of modern eco-structures spanning their whole service life, to develop destruction-free structures and design guidelines of their re-assembly. These will lead to a reduction of total resources-related footprint of buildings and infrastructures.

NEW TIMBER-CONCRETE COMPOSITE CONNECTION The cement industry accounts for 6% of the EU’s CO2 emission. In a typical reinforced concrete building, floors account for approximately half of the amount of concrete. The necessity for concrete in flooring systems can be significantly reduced by using different materials. The combination of timber and concrete has become especially interesting in the last decades. The research is focused on timber-concrete composite (TCC) structural floors. Usually, TCC floors are made of timber beams or a deck connected to an upper concrete layer. Nevertheless, there are many ways to combine and connect timber and concrete into one hybrid floor component. Engineering conceptions are conditioned by varying functional requirements.

Photocatalyzers of ruthenium (II) and photocatalytic synthesis of iminas.Ruthenium (II) photocatalysts of formula (M +) nXn- are described, in which Xn- is an anion and M + is a cationic complex of formula (Ia) comprising an 8-arylsulfonamidoquinoline ligand, as well as its method of obtaining it. The use of said ruthenium (II) photocatalysts in the synthesis of imines by photooxidation of amines in the presence of oxygen and by the use of visible light is also described.

Construction adhesives for anchoring in concrete and masonry substrates The present invention relates to epoxy adhesives and vinyl ester adhesives for construction applications. They are characterized by high chemical resistance after solidification, very low primary and secondary shrinkage, also a short setting time at positive temperatures and a relatively short setting time at negative temperatures. The novelty in relation to commercial solutions is the composition of adhesives, which allows their application in temperatures below -10 C.

Vibration-Assisted ball burnishing. A solution for Surface enhancement through acoustoplasticity An innovative system to modify the surface integrity, i.e. surface texture and roughness, hardness and residual stress, of previously milled workpieces has be The Challenge The manufacturing industry demands effective finishing processes to which workpieces could be subjected to enhance their future in-service performance. This need is especially required for innovative materials, as they usually show a detrimental surface integrity state due to their low machinability. In the transportation industry, the manufacturing of components such as turbine blades, requires the application of local processes that could reinforce critical areas of the workpiece that are subjected to demanding regimes, such as fatigue. Improving the surface and near-surface texture, roughness, residual stress and hardness is a mean to prevent crack growth and enhance the behavior of these components. In this context, the vibration-assisted ball burnishing tool has proved positive results in laboratory applications, and is ready for a leap forward into the industry,

New non-destructive method for “in situ” monitoring of anticorrosive protection of organic coatings The main novelty of the device and procedure is the new portable sensor adaptable to virtually any surface. The device, fixable by vacuum to the surface under study, makes possible the measurement of the electrochemical interfacial impedance, that is the main parameter of interest for adherence quality and anti-corrosion performance.

Diagnosis and cleaning using laser technology for the restoration of historical monuments Since ancient times granite has been used in historic buildings. Some restorers used to apply molten beeswax on their granite surfaces to stop imminent deterioration of the monuments. At first, this treatment was a good solution to consolidate the stone, but with time it resulted counterproductive. This method allows removal and cleaning of wax and other contaminants from porous stones in historical monuments and artworks using nondestructive means through laser technology.

Thermochromic mortar coating for a more sustainable construction CSIC has developed a thermochromic mortar coating with optical properties in the solar radiation range that vary according to temperature in a reversible way. The mortar is especially interesting for energy efficiency in buildings. Its solar radiation absorption at low temperatures is high, helping to maintain indoor heating, while its reflectance increases during the summer, reducing over-warming of the envelope. Industrial partners from the construction industry are being sought to collaborate through a patent licence agreement.

Systems and applications based on indoor positioning via led-lighting The use of LED lamps available for lighting of different parts of a building or room in such a way as to allow the transmission of very high-frequency codes non-perceptible by humans together with the illumination lights. These codes (one unique code for each LED lamp) will be decoded by light detectors included in smart-devices, or by detectors designed particularly for this purpose. From the code information, the device positioning can be determined with high precision.
