The Low Impact Development (LID) approach to rainwater management in urban areas has been gaining interest from the international community due to the growing urbanization of developing countries, the sealing of urban ...

The incorporation of more than 30% Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixtures faces limitations due to the high stiffness of RAP, making the use of rejuvenating additives, such as vegetable oils, necessary. In ...

Seventeen years after the enactment of Federal Law No. 11,445/2007, which deals with Brazilian basic sanitation, many municipalities have not yet achieved the universalization of sanitation services, especially with ...

The use of high-performance asphalt binders can be used to minimize premature degradation of asphalt coatings. These binders are obtained by incorporating an additive agent into the virgin binder. Nanomaterials stand ...

Floods are common events in large urban centers due to the impermeabilization of natural soil by artificial materials. Integrating stormwater management into urban planning, with the concept of a sponge city, emerges ...

The cover layer applied to Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), in landfills, generally made of compacted soil, as it is in direct contact with the external environment, presents changes in its physical, chemical and biological ...

Concerns related to the increasing concentration of cyanobacteria in reservoirs are motivated by the potential production of cyanotoxin, a secondary metabolite that is released in water by cell lysis and may bioaccumulate ...

Asphalt micro-surfacing is a technique used in the preventive/corrective maintenance of medium to heavy-traffic roads. However, pavement treated with this technique has shown early defects that affect road comfort and ...

Passive Methane Oxidation Biosystems are based on the optimization of geotechnical conditions of landfill cover layers for the oxidation process and mitigation of methane emissions to occur and involve biowindow, biofilter ...

Due to the physical, chemical and biological processes that Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) are subjected to during their degradation in landfills, leachate is a byproduct considered extremely complex, due to its toxic composition ...
