Flood depth-damage curves for Spanish urban areas
(2020-04)
Article
Open AccessDepth‒damage curves, also known as vulnerability curves, are an essential element of many flood damage models. A relevant characteristic of these curves is their applicability limitations in space and time. The reader will ... -
Flexural stiffness reduction for stainless steel SHS and RHS members prone to local buckling
(2020-10)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper, flexural stiffness reduction factor formulations, applicable to stainless steel members with compact cold-formed square and rectangular hollow section (SHS and RHS), are extended to account for local buckling ... -
Development of VR/AR applications for experimental tests of beams, columns, and frames
(2020-09)
Article
Open AccessThis paper depicts a set of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications conceived for the enrichment of laboratory experiences within the field of structural engineering. The experimental program corresponds ... -
GPR spectra for monitoring asphalt pavements
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-06)
Article
Open AccessGround Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a prospecting method frequently used in monitoring asphalt pavements, especially as an optimal complement to the defection test that is commonly used for determining the structural condition ... -
An accurate nonlocal bonded discrete element method for nonlinear analysis of solids: application to concrete fracture tests
(Springer, 2020-05)
Article
Open AccessWe present a numerical procedure for elastic and nonlinear analysis (including fracture situations) of solid materials and structures using the discrete element method. It can be applied to strongly cohesive frictional ... -
Estudio de la influencia de la resistencia del hormigón en el comportamiento de conectadores mediante simulación numérica y análisis experimental
(2007-10)
Article
Open AccessEn el presente trabajo se aborda la influencia de la resistencia a la compresión del hormigón en el comportamiento de conectadores tipo perno en estructuras mixtas hormigón - acero sometidas a flexión bajo carga estética. ... -
Simulación virtual del ensayo push out para conectadores tipo perno y con sección en U en estructuras mixtas hormigón-acero
(2007-04)
Article
Open AccessSe estudia el comportamiento de conectadores tipo perno y con sección en U en estructuras mixtas de hormigón y acero, mediante la simulación virtual del ensayo push out en sección viga y Iosa maciza de hormigón, teniendo ... -
Safety format for the flexural design of tunnel fibre reinforced concrete precast segmental linings
(Elsevier, 2020-09)
Article
Open AccessFibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is increasingly used in tunnel segmental linings constructed with tunnel boring machines. Several codes include the FRC as a structural material and specific guidelines cover the design of ... -
Aplicación de la simulación numérica al estudio del comportamiento de conectadores tipo perno en estructuras mixtas de hormigón y acero
(2007-04)
Article
Open AccessEn este trabajo se estudia el comportamiento de conectadores tipo perno en estructuras mixtas de hormigón y acero, a partir de la simulación numérica del ensayo push out en sección viga-losa maciza de hormigón. En primer ... -
A plastic-damage model for concrete
(1989)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper a constitutive model based on an internal variable-formulation of plasticity theory for the non-linear analysis of concrete is presented. The model uses a new yield criterion which matches experimental data ... -
A consistent characteristic length for smeared cracking models
(John Wiley & sons, 1989-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA numerical scheme for crack modelling by means of continuous displacement fields is presented. In two-dimensional problems a crack is modelled as a limiting case of two singular lines (with continuous displacements, but ... -
A computational model for progressive cracking in large dams due to the swelling of concrete
(1990-09)
Article
Open AccessThe paper presents a computational model for the analysis of large concrete gravity dams subjected to severe damage due to internal actions. It has been observed in several operating concrete dams that the combined effects ...
