Bond strength tests under pure shear and tension between masonry and sprayed mortar
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-05-09)
Article
Open AccessSprayed mortar or shotcrete is a construction technology that could enhance existing masonry buildings’ resilience by reinforcing low-safety load-bearing walls. Many factors affect the resistance of shotcrete-reinforced ... -
Thermal and mechanical properties laboratory evaluation of hollow brick made of fired clay and rice husk additive
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2020-12)
Article
Open AccessHollow bricks in fired clay for masonry are important in design and construction of buildings. Their thermal and mechanical properties must be considered because of the impact they have on energy consumption. The objective ... -
A path to more versatile code provisions for slab deflection control
(2021-01-15)
Article
Restricted access - author's decisionAn 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 ... -
Analytical characterisation of axial shortening due to creep of reinforced concrete columns in tall buildings
(Elsevier, 2021-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper proposes a new methodology to analyse how creep affects to reinforced concrete columns of tall buildings with central core that range between 20 and 40 floors. Creep shortening is due to compression stresses and ... -
Lightweight ventilated façade : acoustic performance in laboratory conditions, analysing the impact of controlled ventilation variations on airborne sound insulation
(2020-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThe use of double-sheet enclosures with an intermediate non-ventilated air cavity guarantees a higher airborne sound insulation. The insulation advantages depend on air tightness and the placement of sound absorbing material ... -
Implementación del efecto de pandeo en el método simplificado del EC4-1-1 para secciones tubulares mixtas
(2019-04-29)
Article
Open AccessEl Eurocódigo 4 sobre estructura mixta propone un método simplificado para diseñar secciones tubulares mixtas sometidas a estados combinadosde compresión y flexión, como alternativa al método analítico general. Este método ... -
Real Cyclic Load-Bearing Test of a Ceramic-Reinforced Slab
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-01-21)
Article
Open AccessCeramic-reinforced slabs were widely used in Spain during the second half of the 20th century, especially for industrial buildings. This solution was popular due to the lack of materials at that time, as it requires almost ... -
Damage in face-brick facades placed between concrete slabs
(Elsevier, 2020-02-27)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn recent decades, non-structural exposed brick facades have been widely used in Spain and other European and American countries. However, when they are partially supported by floor slabs, to give the image of a continuous ... -

Article
Open AccessLa revista Novoperfil pide a diversos profesionales su visión sobre los últimos años en el mundo de la ventana. Esta opinión solo tiene validez por la posición como académico universitario y como director técnico de la ... -
Acoustic performance in a lightweight ventilated façade for building refurbishment: analysing the impact of variations in airborne sound insulation according to the ventilation characteristics
(Universidad Católica de Chile (UC), 2019-08)
Article
Open AccessThe use of double-sheet enclosures with an intermediate air chamber in façades guarantees a higher quality of acoustic insulation against external airborne noise. The effective advantages of the intermediate air chamber ...
