About the author
Jorge de Brito is Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Georesources at the Instituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal. He was Head of the ICIST Research Centre from 2009 to 2012.Francisco Agrela is a Full Professor of Civil and Agricultural Engineering at the University of Cordoba, Spain, where he also obtained his PhD in 2003. He is a prolific author of research papers, book chapters, and conferences proceedings. In the last ten years, he has participated as Principal Investigator in more than 40 R+D+i projects related to real-scale applications of waste management and recycled materials. He collaborates with several Elsevier journals as a reviewer, notably Construction and Building Materials, Waste Management, Materials and Design, Resources, Conservation and Recycling, etc., and he is also on the Editorial Board of Materials (MDPI).
Rui Vasco Silva is a lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Georesources at IST, University of Lisbon, Portugal. He completed his PhD on the use of recycled aggregates derived from construction, demolition, and excavation waste in the production of structural concrete. He is a member of the CERIS Research and Development Unit, hosted by IST-ID, and an honorary member of the CIB Student Chapter at IST. He has notable experience in FCT-funded Research Projects and is currently Managing Director of the Rinopolycrete project PTDC/ECI-CON/29196/2017 and is Principal Investigator of the upcoming research project ECO2Alkrete. He is the author of several publications concerning sustainable construction and is currently researching other approaches that can further decrease the environmental impact of concrete, namely reactive magnesium oxide, alkali-activated materials, municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ashes and electric arc furnace slag.
