Criterios y alternativas para la evaluación de la tenacidad en hormigones con fibras de acero
(2003-07)
Article
Open AccessLos Hormigones Reforzados con Fibras (HRF) constituyen una de las innovaciones más relevantes en el campo de los hormigones especiales. La presencia del refuerzo provoca una sustancial modificación de la respuesta mecánica ... -
Quantifying energy symbiosis of building-integrated agriculture in a mediterranean rooftop greenhouse
(2020-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA major concern for sustainable development is urban systems energy consumption. A possible way to gain additional whole system energy efficiencies is to integrate rooftop greenhouses (iRTG) on unoccupied roofs. This work ... -
Application of zero-thickness interface elements to sanding prediction analysis
(2020-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA computational micromechanical analysis based on zero thickness interface elements for modelling solid prediction in hydrocarbon reservoir sandstones is presented. The model is capable of modelling localization of ... -
Environmental effects of using different construction codes applied to reinforced concrete beam designs based on Model Code 2010 and Spanish Standard EHE-08
(2019-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAssuming specific behavior models, the variety of design codes currently used for the design of concrete beams inevitably results in different solutions, ensuring service during the expected lifetime with a maximum functional ... -
Effects of an internal sulfate attack and an alkali-aggregate reaction in a concrete dam
(2018-03)
Article
Open AccessThe alkali-aggregate reaction and the internal sulfate attack are two chemical reactions that lead to expansions in concrete structures. The former is one of the main causes of expansions in concrete dams and has been ... -
Rooftop greenhouses in educational centers: a sustainability assessment of urban agriculture in compact cities
(Elsevier, 2018)
Article
Open AccessToday, urban agriculture is one of the most widely used sustainability strategies to improve the metabolism of a city. Schools can play an important role in the implementation of sustainability master plans, due their ... -
Modelling acid attack of oilwell cement exposed to carbonated brine
(John Gale, 2018-01)
Article
Open AccessA diffusion-reaction model for the carbonation process of oilwell cement exposed to carbonated brine under CO2 geological storage conditions is presented. The formulation consists of two main diffusion/reaction field ... -
ASR expansions in concrete under triaxial confinement
(2018-02)
Article
Open AccessIt is well known that the Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) expansion in concrete is influenced by the stress state of the material. However, the extent and nature of this influence is not completely understood due to the ... -
Environmental assessment of earth retaining wall structures
(2017-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyLife cycle assessment (LCA) is recognised as a powerful technique to determine the environmental impact component of sustainability assessments of structures in civil engineering projects at the time of design. This paper ... -
Life cycle and hydrologic modeling of rainwater harvesting in urban neighborhoods: implications of urban form and water demand patterns in the US and Spain
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Article
Open AccessWater management plays a major role in any city, but applying alternative strategies might be more or less feasible depending on the urban form and water demand. This paper aims to compare the environmental performance of ... -
Urban planning and agriculture. Methodology for assessing rooftop greenhouse potential of non-residential areas using airborne sensors
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThe integration of rooftop greenhouses (RTGs) in urban buildings is a practice that is becoming increasingly important in the world for their contribution to food security and sustainable development. However, the supply ... -
Floods and consequential life cycle assessment: integrating flood damage into the environmental assessment of stormwater Best Management Practices
(2017-09)
Article
Open AccessStormwater management is essential to reducing the occurrence of flooding events in urban areas and to adapting to climate change. The construction of stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) entails a series of life ...
