    The statistical relationship between parameters that represent the intensity of ground motions induced by earthquakes (Intensity Measures, IM) and the nonlinear response of buildings (Engineering Demand Parameters, EDP) ...
  • A simplified approach to account for directionality effects on 2D dynamic soil-structure interaction analysis 

    Pinzón Ureña, Luis; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Alva Bañuelos, Rodrigo Esteban; Mánica Malcom, Miguel Ángel (CRC Press, 2019)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In this study, a simplified approach to account for directionality effects on twodimensional (2D) dynamic soil-structure interaction analyses (DSSI) is proposed. When an earthquake is recorded, the direction with the maximum ...
  • Acquisition and processing of buildings’ vibrations using a Real-Aperture Radar, a non-invasive method 

    Alva Bañuelos, Rodrigo Esteban; González Drigo, José Ramón; Luzi, Guido; Pinzón Ureña, Luis; Pujades Beneit, Lluís (2018)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In this paper, a simplified non-invasive method to diagnose the safety state of buildings is tested. The method is based in remote sensing measurements of the natural vibrations of actual buildings using an interferometric ...
  • New capacity and energy based damage index 

    Díaz, Sergio Alberto; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Barbat Barbat, Horia Alejandro; Vargas Alzate, Yeudy Felipe; González Drigo, José Ramón; Alva Bañuelos, Rodrigo Esteban (2018)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Non-linear dynamic analysis and the damage index of Park-Ang have been often used to assess expected seismic damage to a structure. Depending on the size of the structure and the duration of the record, the computational ...
  • Comparison among design solutions for precast buildings in medium-to-moderate seismicity zones 

    Eskubi Ugarte, Juan Ignacio; López Almansa, Francisco (World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, 2021)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This paper compares, mainly in terms of construction cost and rapidity, two seismic-resisting systems for low-to-midrise precast buildings in moderate-to-medium seismicity zones (in Spain): (i) ordinary buildings accounting ...
  • Application of manifold learning algorithms to improve the classification performance of an electronic nose 

    León Medina, Jersson Xavier; Anaya Vejar, Maribel; Pozo Montero, Francesc; Tibaduiza Burgos, Diego Alexander (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The problem of classification and the use of robust methodologies in electronic nose sensor arrays applications are still open. Among the several steps in the developed method- ologies, it is clear that feature extraction ...
  • Identificación no lineal de movimientos sísmicos en el lecho rocoso ingenieril a partir de registros tomados en la superficie 

    Rodríguez Sánchez, Julio; López Almansa, Francisco; Ledesma Villalba, Alberto (Asociación Chilena de Sismología e Ingeniería Antisísmica, 2019)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    En ingeniería sísmica, los registros disponibles suelen ser superficiales y, en consecuencia, los movimientos en las capas inferiores deben ser estimados conociendo el perfil estratigráfico del terreno; estos movimientos ...
  • On the equal displacement aproximation for mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings 

    Vargas Alzate, Yeudy Felipe; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; González Drigo, José Ramón; Alva Bañuelos, Rodrigo Esteban; Pinzón Ureña, Luis (Institute of Structural Analysis and Antiseismic Research School of Civil Engineering. National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), 2019)
    Conference report
