Assessment and visualization of performance indicators of reinforced concrete beams by distributed optical fibre sensing
(2021-01)
Article
Open AccessThe implementation of structural health monitoring systems in civil engineering structures already in the construction phase could contribute to safer and more resilient infrastructure. Due to their lightweight, small size ... -
Experimental and numerical insights on the diagonal compression test for the shear characterisation of masonry
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe masonry tensile strength and shear modulus play a key role in the definition of the shear capacity of masonry structures. These properties are often determined experimentally by means of the diagonal compression test ... -
Punching-shear strength of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to unidirectional in-plane tensile forces
(Wiley (John Wiley & Sons), 2020-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policySome reinforced concrete slabs are subjected simultaneously to concentrated loads and unidirectional in-plane tensile forces. This the case of the top slab of a box girder bridge where hogging bending moments take place ... -
Volcanic ash as a sustainable binder material: an extensive review
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-03)
Article
Open AccessThe construction industry is affected by the constant growth of populations in urban areas. The demands for cement production has an increasing environmental impact, and there are urgent demands for alternative sustainable ... -
Post-processing algorithms for distributed optical fiber sensing in structural health monitoring applications
(2021-03)
Article
Open AccessDistributed optical fiber sensors are measuring tools whose potential related to the civil engineering field has been discovered in the latest years only (reduced dimensions, easy installation process, lower installation ... -
Soil stabilization using waste paper fly ash: precautions for its correct use
(2020-12)
Article
Open AccessThis paper deals with the valorization of waste paper fly ash (WPFA) as a binder for soil stabilization. The mineralogical characterization shows the presence of free lime, as well as some non-reactive and cementitious ... -
A review of recent distributed optical fiber sensors applications for civil engineering structural health monitoring
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-03)
Article
Open AccessThe present work is a comprehensive collection of recently published research articles on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) campaigns performed by means of Distributed Optical Fiber Sensors (DOFS). The latter are cutting-edge ... -
A risk index for the structural diagnosis of masonry heritage (RISDiMaH)
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyExperts responsible for the safety evaluation of unique masonry heritage structures usually need to weigh information from various diagnosis activities before deciding the best course of action for preservation. Typical ... -
Regular and temporary occupants’ perceptions of satisfaction in tertiary education buildings
(2021-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThere is little knowledge about occupants’ satisfaction when diverse end users coexist in the same building. This paper presents the results of a survey administered to 1,013 occupants in 43 academic buildings in Spain, ... -
Association between building characteristics and indoor environmental quality through post-occupancy evaluation
(2021-03-17)
Article
Open AccessPost-occupancy evaluations are common tools used to periodically assess Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in tertiary buildings. Although the large amount of data collected from surveys contain valuable information, the ... -
Structural health monitoring of 2D plane structures
(2021-03)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents the application of the observability technique for the structural system identification of 2D models. Unlike previous applications of this method, unknown variables appear both in the numerator and the ... -
Flexural fatigue of pre-cracked plastic fibre reinforced concrete: experimental study and numerical modeling
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe objective of this paper is to analyse the mechanical behaviour of polypropylene fibre reinforced concrete subjected to load cycles and propose a model to predict the crack-opening increase and mechanical performance ...
