Computational approach to evaluating the strength of eggs: implications for laying in organic egg production
(Elsevier, 2019-10-01)
Article
Open AccessWith the aim of characterising the different stress patterns in several egg types and evaluating the resistivity of the eggshell while impacting in free fall, experimental tests and computational simulations have been ... -
Assessing the performance of CFRP strengthening on masonry walls using experimental modal analysis
(Elsevier, 2019-08-15)
Article
Open AccessStrengthening masonry structures using FRP laminates has been widely studied from a resistance point of view. However, there is a need of a non-destructive technique to validate strengthening interventions. In this paper, ... -
Statistical modeling and mix design optimization of fly ash based engineered geopolymer composite using response surface methodology
(2018-09-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFly ash-based geopolymer binders have been identified as one of the alternatives to the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), which qualify the criteria of green construction material. In the process of enhancement of the ... -
Mechanical properties of pre-stressed fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix composite (PFRCM)
(Elsevier, 2018-12-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) is a composite strengthening material used to strengthen masonry and concrete structures in a passive way due to the requirement of crack activation. Prestressing fabric is ... -
Additioning alfa fibres in cement mortar
(Universidad Católica de Chile (UC), 2018)
Article
Open AccessCement mortar is a broadly used construction material. Adding fibres into the fresh mortar is an effective reinforcing technique to overcome the drawbacks related with the little tensile and flexural strength. Using natural ... -
Experimental and analytical flexural performances of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with post-tensioned near surface mounted basalt composite laminates
(Elsevier, 2019-01-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyNear surface mounted (NSM) is a technique that improves the strengthening capacity of composite laminates. The use of a post-tensioning technique modifies the performance of the strengthening because it is active bearing ... -
Mechanical performance of vegetal fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites
(Elsevier, 2018-06-30)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn order to pursue sustainable objectives in the construction industry, a new composite material using vegetal fibre mesh coated with resin and embedded in mortar is developed and characterized. In this study, meshes of ... -
Experimental comparison of reinforced concrete beams strengthened against bending with different types of cementitious-matrix composite materials
(Elsevier, 2017-04-15)
Article
Open AccessFabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) materials overcome some hazard limitations of organic resins and are becoming a competitive technology on retrofitting reinforced concrete structures. In this work, five types ... -
Effect of Sporosarcina Pasteurii on the strength properties of compressed earth specimens
(Instituto Técnico de la Construcción y del Cemento, 2018-02)
Article
Open AccessMicrobial biodeposition of calcite induction for improving the performance of rammed earth is a research area that must be analysed in a representative environment. This analysis must consider the compaction force, particle ... -
Study of the compressive response of masonry using non-conventional joint materials
(InderScience Publishers, 2017)
Article
Open AccessThe compressive response of masonry is influenced by geometric, material and execution variables. In addition, the nature of bricks and mortar typically introduces uncertainty to the experimental results. In order to reduce ... -
Ultrasound transmission method to assess raw earthen materials
(2017-12-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe feasibility of using ultrasound transmission method to assess raw earthen materials is investigated. Results indicate that this technique is effective at controlling the drying process of raw earthen materials. Near ... -
Envolvente del Centro de Arte Botín en Santander. Estudio de viabilidad de la solución con discos cerámicos roscados sobre chapa de aluminio
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2016-12-12)
Article
Open AccessEl Centro de Arte Botín de Santander presenta una envolvente compleja geométricamente y sofisticada constructivamente de la que destaca su última capa cerámica de reflejos nacarados. Esta capa consiste en un novedoso sistema ...
