Concrete is one of the most commonly used construction materials in the world due to its versatility. There are different types of concrete according to the required mechanical responses, and these will depend on the composition of the elements. Therefore, additional elements have been developed to improve the properties and conditions of concrete....
This paper is focused on the use of mixed recycled-aggregates (RA), replacing 100% of the natural coarse aggregates, for producing steel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (FR-SCC-RA) oriented to the construction of foundation walls.

Land subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal has been
developing in the Aguascalientes Valley since the 1980's.
Even though the affected area is close to 900 km2, and the sinking velocity
is up to 10 cm yr−1 in some zones, the main concern for valley inhabitants
and local government is the occurrence of subsidence-related cracks and
failures, whic...
