    • A method for the structural analysis and design of arched reinforced masonry and/or concrete structures 

      López López, David; Roca Fabregat, Pedro; Liew, Andrew; Van Mele, Tom; Block, Philippe (International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Extraordinary architectural examples of shell structures have been built using reinforced masonry and concrete. The current sparse use of this construction type can be attributed, among other reasons, to a lack of simple ...

    • A three-dimensional approach to the Extended Limit Analysis of Reinforced Masonry 

      López López, David; Roca Fabregat, Pedro; Liew, Andrew; Méndez Echenagucia, Tomás; Van Mele, Tom; Block, Philippe (Elsevier, 2022-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The Extended Limit Analysis of Reinforced Masonry (ELARM) is a simple and user-friendly method for the design and structural analysis of singly-curved, reinforced tile vaults (López López et al., 2019). It is based on limit ...

    • Design, fabrication and testing of a prototype, thin-vaulted, unreinforced concrete floor 

      Liew, Andrew; López López, David; Van Mele, Tom; Block, Philippe (2017-04)
      Article
      Accés restringit per decisió de l'autor
      This paper describes the concept, form finding, fabrication and experimental testing of a prototype floor system, derived from principles of shallow arching action, to initiate internal compressive stresses rather than ...

    • Dieste, González Zuleta and Sánchez del Río: three approaches to reinforced-brick shell structures 

      López López, David; Van Mele, Tom; Block, Philippe (CRC Press, 2016)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Reinforced-brick shell structures are mainly known through the extraordinary work of the Uruguayan engineer Eladio Dieste. However, other remarkable examples of shells in reinforced masonry were being built during Dieste’s ...

    • The combination of tile vaults with reinforcement and concrete 

      López López, David; Van Mele, Tom; Block, Philippe (Taylor & Francis, 2019)
      Article
      Accés restringit per decisió de l'autor
      Tile vaults are unreinforced masonry structures made of thin bricks (tiles) and fast-setting mortar that can be constructed needing only formwork along their boundaries, making them inherently economic. Their slenderness ...

    • Tile vaulting in the 21st century 

      López López, David; Van Mele, Tom; Block, Philippe (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2016-10)
      Article
      Accés obert
      New interactive equilibrium methods for the design and analysis of masonry structures have facilitated the construction of masonry structures with a formal language well beyond what is typically associated with compression-only ...

    • Tile vaults as integrated formwork for reinforced concrete: Construction, experimental testing and a method for the design and analysis of two-dimensional structures 

      López López, David; Roca Fabregat, Pedro; Liew, Andrew; Van Mele, Tom; Block, Philippe (Elsevier, 2019)
      Article
      Accés restringit per decisió de l'autor
      Tile vaults are traditional, unreinforced masonry structures made of thin bricks (tiles), mortar and fast-setting cement or gypsum. They can be constructed without the need for a formwork, except at the boundaries, making ...
