Experimental and analytical flexural performances of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with post-tensioned near surface mounted basalt composite laminates
(Elsevier, 2019-01-15)
Article
Open AccessNear 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
Open AccessIn 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
Open AccessThe 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 ... -

(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 ... -
Accounting for differences in element size and homogeneity when comparing Finite Element models: Armadillos as a case study
(2016-08)
Article
Open AccessComputing the average Von Mises stress of Finite Element Models to obtain a single measurement that represents the relative strength of vertebrate structures has been used recently in different works in palaeobiology. ... -
Comparison between TRM and FRP strengthening systems at preventing buckling failure of brick masonry walls
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2016-07-01)
Article
Open AccessFibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) and Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) have been studied, compared and applied to strengthen brick masonry walls. The comparison of their performance against second order bending effects is ... -
Aided diagnosis of structural pathologies with an expert system
(2013-02)
Article
Open AccessSustainability and safety are social demands for long-life buildings. Suitable inspection and maintenance tasks on structural elements are needed for keeping buildings safely in service. Any malfunction that causes structural ... -
Comparative 3D analyses and palaeoecology of giant early amphibians (Temnospondyli: Stereospondyli)
(Macmillan Publishers, 2016-07-26)
Article
Open AccessMacroevolutionary, palaeoecological and biomechanical analyses in deep time offer the possibility to decipher the structural constraints, ecomorphological patterns and evolutionary history of extinct groups. Here, 3D ... -
Textile-reinforced rammed earth : experimental characterisation of flexural strength and thoughness
(2016-03-01)
Article
Open AccessRammed earth is a building material that has gained attention because of its sustainable advantages. However, its negligible tensile strength and its lack of strain energy dissipation may compromise some structures. This ...
