    Part of book or chapter of book
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is increasingly being used in the construction industry providing structural, technological and economic benefits. However, this relatively new material has not demonstrated its full ...
  • A new sustainability assessment method for façade cladding panels: a case study of fiber/textile reinforced cement sheets 

    Sadrolodabaee, Payam; Hosseini, Seyed Mohammad Amin; Ardanuy Raso, Mònica; Claramunt Blanes, Josep; Fuente Antequera, Albert de la (Springer, 2022)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    As the building sector is one of the leading responsible for energy consumption and CO2 emissions, criteria of sustainability, availability, and recyclability should be considered for developing materials even in the ...
  • Elevated steel fibre reinforced concrete slabs and the hybrid alternative: design approach and parametric study at ultimate limit state 

    Aidarov, Stanislav; Sutera, Luca; Valerio, Manuela; Fuente Antequera, Albert de la (Springer, 2022)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Application of Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) in pile supported flat slabs is definitely challenge in term of a structural application of this material. Possible substitution of traditional reinforcement by steel fibres ...
  • Bridge damage detection and quantification under environmental effects by principal component analysis 

    Tenelema Muñoz, Fernando Josué; Delgadillo Ayala, Rick Milton; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon (Springer, 2021)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Open Access
    Monitoring structural damage is widely used for sustaining and preserving the service life in civil structures, especially in bridges. The influence of environmental variability like temperature affects the dynamic behavior, ...
  • Performance of blended cements with limestone filler and illitic calcined clay immediately exposed to sulfate environment 

    Rosetti, Agustín; Ikumi Montserrat, Tai; Segura Pérez, Ignacio; Irassar, Egardo Fabián (International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM), 2020)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The use of ternary blended cements with limestone filler and calcined clays can improve the durability of concrete structures exposed to aggressive environments and extend their service life. In sulfate-rich environments, ...
  • Simplified probabilistic model for maximum traffic load from weigh-in-motion data 

    Soriano Ibáñez, Miguel; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Ghosn, Michel (Routledge/Taylor and Francis Group, 2018)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This paper reviews the simplified procedure proposed by Ghosn and Sivakumar to model the maximum expected traffic load effect on highway bridges and illustrates the methodology using a set of Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) data ...
  • Quality specifications for roadway bridges: standardization at a European level 

    Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Matos, Jose C. (CRC Press, 2019)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Across Europe, the need to manage roadway bridges efficiently led to the development of multiple management systems in different countries. Despite presenting similar architectural frameworks, there are relevant differences ...
