A case study of structural monitoring as a control tool in the restoration process of Heritage Structures: The strengthening of the Vistabella Church’s Tower
(CRC Press, 2018)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe Sacred Heart Church of Vistabella (La Secuita, Spain) was designed by Josep Maria Jujol and built in the early twenties of the XX century. The slenderness of its steeple makes it extremely exposed to wind action, to ... -

Conference report
Open AccessThe purpose of this paper is to share the experience, training and teaching students in non conventional structures area. The research group SMiA Structural Morphology in Architecture performed ... -
Closing the gap between concrete maturity monitoring and nonlinear time-dependent fem analysis through a digital twin. Case study: post-tensioned concrete slab of an office building, Barcelona, Spain
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper proposes a pipeline for the automation of data between two realms: i) simulation, in a fully nonlinear, and time-dependent structural analysis model and, ii)concrete maturity monitoring data from the construction ... -
Smalti murano glass Tessella's applied outdoor in the trencadís Catalan modernism mosaic: recognition of preliminary alteration patterns

Conference lecture
Open AccessThis contribution presents previous results of a study carried out with the aim of achieving better results in the restoration processes by replacing the tiles of an exterior mosaic tiling of the Trencadís type of Catalan ... -
Sprayed cementitious mortars to strengthen urban buildings: Case study in Barcelona, Spain
(2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyCities the world over require more resilient architecture that satisfies stricter structural safety standards than in the past. However, there are too many urban building structures about to reach the end of their designed ... -

Conference lecture
Open AccessThe object of this research is the design of pneulastics, initially flat, pneumatically activated stretchable membranes with areas of differentiated thickness- and therefore elasticity- that respond ... -
Study case: Design of a spherical actively-bent chebychev net triangular gridshell covered by a stretchable membrane
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2019)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe aim of this study is to design and build a spherical elastic gridshell, 6m in diameter and covered by a stretchable membrane; using the previously published work in Chebychev Net gridshells [8] and the introduction of ... -
G-shells:flat collapsible geodesic mechanisms for gridshells
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2019)
Conference lecture
Open AccessWe present G-shells, a new strategy for deployable elastic gridshells developed from an initially flat and compact geodesic mechanism. The one-degree of freedom mechanism evolves from its initially flat state into a geodesic ... -
Herramienta automatizada para evaluación rápida de la vulnerabilidad estructural y no estructural de hospitales
(Asociación Chilena de Sismología e Ingeniería Antisísmica, 2019)
Conference lecture
Open AccessA tool for rapid and automatic assessment of the seismic structural and non-structural vulnerability of hospitals is presented; this vulnerability refers to the operability after strong earthquakes. The non-structural ... -
