“…The steady population growth and the accompanying industrial development in various fields have increased demand in the construction sector [1]. One of the fundamental composite substances in this sector is concrete [2]; therefore, the sector's development leads to increased concrete production.…”

Carbon dioxide emissions are one of the problems that arouses the interest of scientists because of their harmful effects on the environment and climate. The construction sector, particularly the cement industry, is a significant source of CO2. On the other hand, solid waste constitutes a major problem facing governments due to the difficulty of decomposing it and the fact that it requires large areas for landfill. Among these wastes are LCD waste glass (WG) and used rope waste. Therefore, reusing these wastes, for example, in concrete technology, is a promising solution to reduce their environmental impact. Limited studies have dealt with the simultaneous utilization of glass waste as a substitute for cement and rope waste (nylon) fiber (WRF). Therefore, this study aimed to partially replace cement with WG with the addition of rope waste as fibers. Thirteen mixtures were poured: a reference mixture (without replacement or addition) and three other groups containing WG and WRF in proportions of 5, 15 and 25% by cement weight and 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75% by mortar weight, respectively. Flow rate, compression strength, flexural strength, dry density, water absorption, dynamic modulus of elasticity, ultrasonic pulse velocity and electrical resistivity were tested. The results indicate that the best ratio for replacing cement with WG without fibers was 5% of the weight of cement. However, using WRF increased the amount of glass replacement to 25%, with an improvement in strength and durability characteristics.

“…El rápido crecimiento de las zonas urbanas en todo el mundo lleva a una creciente preocupación del efecto de la humanidad sobre el medio ambiente, lo que representa una amenaza para nuestra forma de vida actual. La urbanización ha deteriorado la calidad del aire interior y exterior, ha modificado la ventilación de los edificios y ha aumentado el consumo de energía de los edificios (Huadun, et al 2023). Los espacios verdes se han transformado en áreas con materiales que absorben el calor, provocando un aumento de las temperaturas urbanas.…”

Indoor temperatures in buildings and their urban environment are increasing every year, especially in hot climates, moving increasingly away from the desired comfort conditions. The scarcity of vegetation and the use of conventional materials in urban areas lead to a worsening of environmental conditions, feeding the urban heat island effect. It also affects indoor comfort, increasing electricity consumption for air conditioning and, consequently, greenhouse gas emissions. This work evaluates the impact of urban transformation on the thermal demand and comfort of adjacent buildings in an urban space. This is located in the Avenida Cruz Roja in Seville, the object of a real bioclimatic urban design intervention. For this purpose, the buildings involved are organized into clusters, assessing the impact on indoor demand and comfort of the different mitigation measures proposed in each cluster. In this way, adaptation to climate change not only provides the necessary conditions for citizens to enjoy life in the street again, but also benefits buildings, reducing their demand and increasing the comfort of their occupants.
