  • Flood depth-damage curves for Spanish urban areas 

    Martínez Gomariz, Eduardo; Forero Ortiz, Edwar Andres; Guerrero Hidalga, María; Castan, Salvador; Gómez Valentín, Manuel (2020-04)
    Article
    Open Access
    Depth‒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 

    Shen, Yanfei; Chacón Flores, Rolando Antonio (2020-10)
    Article
    Open Access
    In 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 

    Chacón Flores, Rolando Antonio; Claure, Fabiola; Coss Henning, Oscar de (2020-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    This 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 

    Pedret Rodés, Josep; Martínez Reguero, Adriana Haydée; Pérez Gracia, María de la Vega (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-06)
    Article
    Open Access
    Ground 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 

    Celigueta Jordana, Miguel Ángel; Latorre Sánchez, Juan Salvador; Arrufat Garcia, Ferran; Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio (Springer, 2020-05)
    Article
    Open Access
    We 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 ...

    Bonilla Rocha, Jorge Douglas; Larrúa Quevedo, Rafael; Mirambell Arrizabalaga, Enrique; Recarey Morfa, Carlos Alexander (2007-04)
    Article
    Open Access
    Se 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 

    Cugat Martí, Víctor; Pialarissi Cavalaro, Sergio Henrique; Bairán García, Jesús Miguel; Fuente Antequera, Albert de la (Elsevier, 2020-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    Fibre 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 

    Bonilla Rocha, Jorge Douglas; Larrúa Quevedo, Rafael; Mirambell Arrizabalaga, Enrique; Recarey Morfa, Carlos Alexander (2007-04)
    Article
    Open Access
    En 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 

    Lubliner, Jacob; Oliver Olivella, Xavier; Oller Martínez, Sergio Horacio; Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio (1989)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In 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 

    Oliver Olivella, Xavier (John Wiley & sons, 1989-02)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    A 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 

    Cervera Ruiz, Miguel; Oliver Segura, José; Herrero, E.; Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio (1990-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    The 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 ...
