  • Dynamic monitoring of a mid-rise building by real-aperture radar interferometer: advantages and limitations 

    Alva Bañuelos, Rodrigo Esteban; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; González Drigo, José Ramón; Luzi, Guido; Caselles Magallón, Josep Oriol; Pinzón Ureña, Luis (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-03)
    Article
    Open Access
    In this paper, remote and in situ techniques to estimate the dynamic response of a building to ambient vibration are reported: data acquired through a real-aperture radar (RAR) interferometer and conventional accelerometers ...

  • Increased seismic hazard in Barcelona (Spain) due to soil-building resonance effects 

    Pinzón Ureña, Luis; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Macau, Albert; Figueras Vila, Sara (Elsevier, 2019-02)
    Article

    In this study, previous microzonation studies in Barcelona (Spain) were revisited, and available data on the predominant periods of soils in the city were compiled to develop an updated microzonation map of the city. In ...

  • An efficient method for considering the directionality effect of earthquakes on structures 

    Pinzón Ureña, Luis; Díaz Carrasco, Sergio; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Vargas Alzate, Yeudy Felipe (2019-04)
    Article
    Open Access
    Recent research have proven the importance of considering the directionality effect on the expected seismic damage of structures. However, it demands a high computational effort if the nonlinear dynamic analysis (NLDA) is ...

  • A drift-correlated ground motion intensity measure: application to steel frame buildings 

    Pinzón Ureña, Luis; Vargas Alzate, Yeudy Felipe; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Díaz Carrasco, Sergio (Elsevier, 2020-05)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Estimations of seismic risk in urban areas should include quantifications of the expected damage to civil structures subjected to earthquakes. In buildings, this quantification depends on the maximum inter-story drift ...

  • Dynamic soil-structure interaction analyses considering directionality effects 

    Pinzón Ureña, Luis; Mánica Malcom, Miguel Ánge; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Alva Bañuelos, Rodrigo Esteban (Elsevier, 2020-03)
    Article

    The paper investigates directionality effects of ground motions in the context of dynamic soil-structure interaction (DSSI) analyses. The problem addressed corresponds to a nonlinear soil deposit, overlaying firm ground, ...

  • Combining ground penetrating radar and seismic surveys in the assessment of cultural heritage buildings: The study of roofs, columns, and ground of the gothic church Santa Maria del Mar, in Barcelona (Spain) 

    Pérez Gracia, María de la Vega; Santos Assunçao, Sonia; Caselles Magallón, Josep Oriol; Clapés Boixader, Jaume; Sossa Arancibia, Viviana Alejandra (Wiley, 2019-01-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Combined non-destructive techniques are applied in the study of a historical building in Barcelona. Santa Maria del Mar is a magnificent Mediterranean gothic church built between 1329 and 1383. Two of the most important ...

  • Trends in condition monitoring for pitch bearings 

    Sandoval Núñez, Diego Aníbal; Leturiondo, Urko; Pozo Montero, Francesc; Vidal Seguí, Yolanda; Salgado, Óscar (2019-12)
