A path to more versatile code provisions for slab deflection control
(2021-01-15)
Article
Open AccessAn assessment of the methods of codes ACI-318 and Eurocode 2 is performed to establish a minimum slenderness for reinforced concrete slabs, which is a simplified method for controlling the deflection of slabs. This assessment ... -
Arquitectura con hormigón postensado y reflexiones para mejorar la transferencia de conocimiento de otras ciencias hacia la arquitectura europea
(Edicions ETSAB, 2012)
Conference lecture
Open AccessEl hecho que el uso del hormigón pretensado sea aún limitado tanto en la arquitectura española como en la europea es un caso claro de lentitud en la transferencia de tecnología de la ingeniería civil a la arquitectura. ... -
Effective moment of inertia and slenderness limits of reinforced concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete slabs
(2022-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFollowing the trend of updating methods that establish the minimum slenderness of concrete members based on the work by Rangan and Scanlon, this paper elaborates new formulations of the effective moment of inertia factor ... -
Grooved Hollowcore: a simplified way to significantly reduce concrete consupmtion and increase profit margins
(2019-12-01)
Article
Open AccessA method to make hollowcore slabs fixed at their endswhich allows for a reduction of up to 20% of the depth andconsumption of concrete of finished floors has been devel-oped, thoroughly tested and protected by patents by ... -
Prototipo de sistema estructural para techo bidireccional de hormigón pretensado prefabricado con armadura postesa y continuidad entre vanos, para aplicar en edificios de diversos niveles con luces moderadamente grandes
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-11-28)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessPost-tensioning precast elements is a very usual practice in civil engineering. However, it is a much more unusual practice in building construction. Here is presented a new construction system to build precast two-way ... -
Reinforced concrete predimensioning to enhance optimization
(International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineers (IABSE), 2014)
Conference lecture
Open AccessDue to the nature of the material, reinforced concrete elements normally need a complex computation process to find efficient sections. Recommendations of some main codes face the problem by offering very simple ... -
Technologie soutenable: rénovation de monuments historiques à Barcelone
(2011)
Conference report
Open AccessNotre démarche aborde le débat sur les alternatives constructives, c'est-à-dire, savoir-faire traditionnels et usages de matériaux modernes, en comparant les résultats des calculs d’énergie et d’émissions de gaz a effet ... -
The four ages of early prestressed concrete structures
(2014-09-01)
Article
Open AccessUnlike reinforced concrete, the history of prestressed concrete has been insufficiently studied. Little progress has been made on this matter since the first classical texts appeared in England, the U. S. and Germany soon ... -
Why did modern post-tensioned floors flourish in the us and not in europe -a matter of tradition?
(2016)
Conference lecture
Open AccessUnlike in Europe, prestressed concrete with post-tensioned reinforcement came to be a standard technique in building construction in the US. Kenneth Bondy has been the only one who has made a significant contribution to ...
