Determinación simplificada del módulo de deformación del hormigón de presas
(2002)
Conference report
Open AccessLa determininación del módulo de elasticidad del hormigón de presas es difiícil tanto en medidas directas en la presa como mediante probetas, ya que se requieren ensayos con probetas de gran dimensión y, consecuentemente, ... -

Bridge condition and safety based on measured vibration level
(International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineers (IABSE), 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyAlong the years, there were efforts by researchers in quantifying structural performance and damage in function of vibration measurements. Curves proposed by several authors try to relate acceleration spectrum to damage ... -
Integrated value model for sustainable assessment of school centers construction
(2014)
Conference report
Open AccessHundreds of new school centers were built in Catalonia between 2000 and 2009. It was a governmental decision in order to solve an endemic lack of centers that in the early 2000s had worsen. Masonry and poured on site ... -
Experimental study on ferritic stainless steel decks in constructions stage according to Eurocode-3
(2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aesthetic appeal and thermal capacity of ferritic stainless steels, together with the combination of good mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance, makes them ideal for exposed composite slabs using ... -
Simulation of in-plane shear test on masonry walls using micro modeling tecniques
(2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyA series of experimental tests involving in-plane shear loading of masonry walls is numerically simulated using finite element detailed micro models. The experimental tests were performed on masonry walls composed of solid ... -
On the robustness to damage in the Life-Cyle Assessment (LCA) of deteriorating bridges
(CRC Press Taylor & Francis Group, 2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper, the susceptibility of reinforced concrete structures to corrosion using a robustnessbased framework is presented. Robustness is regarded as a structural property related with the tolerance to damage and it ... -
Modelling of bucking failure of load bearing walls
(Universidade do Minho, 2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyAn experimental and numerical research on the characterization of the capacity of load bearing brick masonry walls taking into consideration the non-linear geometric effects and the buckling failure is presented. Experimental ... -
Design optimization for a truncated catenary mooring system for scale model tests
(2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyOne of the main aspects when testing floating offshore platforms is the scaled mooring system, particularly with the increased depths where such platforms are intended. When the existing testing facilities do not have ... -
Investigation of the masonry pillars of a modernist building of Hospital de sant Pau, Barcelona
(2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe methodology employed and the results obtained from an experimental campaign to determine the compressive strength of a masonry pillar extracted from an early 20th century building are presented. The samples of the ... -
Masonry material characterization methodology for micro-modeling
(Universidade do Minho, 2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyNumerical and analytical micro-modeling of masonry structures requires knowledge of several elasticity and strength parameters of the constituent materials of the composite. Furthermore, when dealing with specimens produced ... -
Numerical micro-modeling simulation of masonry in compression
(Universidade do Minho, 2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyMicro-modeling techniques for the simulation of masonry are a valuable tool, when combined with nonlinear constitutive laws, for the investigation of the behavior of structural masonry. Through the simulation of the behavior ...
