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 ... -

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 ... -
