    Bernat Masó, Ernest; Lis Arias, Manuel José; Mercedes Cedeño, Luis Enrique; Gil Espert, Lluís (Centro Internacional de Métodos Numéricos en Ingeniería (CIMNE), 2020)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) have been widely used to strengthened construction structural elements in the last years because of their mechanical pros. However, the durability of these materials is always controversial. ...

  • Experimental testing of tile vaults 

    López López, David; Bernat Masó, Ernest; Gil Espert, Lluís; Roca Fabregat, Pedro (CRC Press. Taylor & Francis Group, 2020)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Tile vaults (sometimes also referred to as thin-tile, timbrel, Catalan or Guastavino vaults) are masonry structures made with thin bricks (tiles), mortar and fast-setting cement or gypsum. This traditional construction ...

  • Propiedades mecánicas de compuestos de matriz cementicia reforzados con tejidos pretensados (PFRCM) 

    Bernat Masó, Ernest; Mercedes Cedeño, Luis Enrique; Gil Espert, Lluís (2019)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    La matriz cementicia reforzada con tejidos (FRCM) es un material de refuerzo compuesto que se usa para reforzar estructuras de mampostería y de hormigón de forma pasiva, debido al requisito de activación de fisuras. Se ...

    An enhanced version of the rotation-free three node triangular BST shell element for sheet stamping analysis is presented. The original BST element is based on an assumed constant curvature field expressed in terms of the ...

  • Red Aulas CIMNE: espacios de colaboración en temas docentes y de I+D en distintas universidades, empresas y centros de investigación de diversos países 

    Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio; Guzmán, Francisco; Bugeda Castelltort, Gabriel; Corestein Poupeau, Georgina; Zárate Araiza, José Francisco (Escola Universitària d'Enginyeria Tècnica Industrial de Barcelona (EUETIB), 2004)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    La mayoría de los avances de I+D que hoy en día se producen quedan limitados en función de necesidades locales. La causa principal es la falta de medios para proyectar la I+D hacia entornos donde pueda ser exitosamente ...
