Active control implementation in cable-stayed bridges for quasi-static loading patterns
(2016-07)
Article
Open AccessThe following paper deals with active control implementation in cable-stayed bridges. Recent developments in structural active control of cable-stayed bridges are focused on the adaptability to dynamic effects produced by ... -
Evaluation of natural colonisation of cementitious materials: Effect of bioreceptivity and environmental conditions
(2015-04-15)
Article
Open AccessIncorporation of living organisms, such as photosynthetic organisms, on the structure envelope has become a priority in the area of architecture and construction due to aesthetical, economic and ecological advantages. ... -
Sand-cement concrete in the century-old Camarasa dam
(2016-08)
Article
Open AccessSand-cement emerged in the early twentieth century as an alternative binder in infrastructures that required a significant amount of concrete volume in order to reduce the costs associated with portland cement. This binder ... -
Structural health monitoring in incrementally launched steel bridges: patch loading phenomena modeling
(2015-10)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper, a realistic nonlinear 3D simulation of an incrementally launched steel bridge girder is presented. The numerical simulation accounts for three sources of nonlinearity: geometry, material and boundary conditions. ... -

Roofs of the future: rooftop greenhouses to improve buildings metabolism
(2015)
Conference report
Open AccessAncient civilizations had agriculture production in their metropolis but modern urban planning separated agriculture from cities, such as Chandigarh by Le Corbusier. At present, FAO estimates that urban agriculture produces ... -
Analytical micro-modeling of masonry periodic unit cells : elastic properties
(2015-09-01)
Article
Open AccessA model for the analysis of masonry periodic unit cells based on detailed micro-modeling principles is presented: an analytical model capable of calculating the orthotropic elastic properties of masonry composites. Several ... -
Effective width equations accounting for element interaction for cold-formed stainless steel square and rectangular hollow sections
(Elsevier, 2015-06)
Article
Open AccessSquare and rectangular hollow sections (SHS and RHS, respectively) featuring high height-to-width (aspect) ratios have shown to offer improved ultimate capacity due to the effects of the interaction between the elements ... -
