    The aim of this research is to evaluate the dynamic response of steel concentrically braced frames (CBFs) considering the nonlinear response of embedded footings in granular soils through the Beam on Nonlinear Winkler ...

  • A subspace-adaptive weights cubature method with application to the local hyperreduction of parameterized finite element models 

    Bravo Martínez, José Raúl; Hernández Ortega, Joaquín Alberto; Ares de Parga Regalado, Sebastian; Rossi, Riccardo (John Wiley & sons, 2024-09)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This article is concerned with quadrature/cubature rules able to deal with multiple subspaces of functions, in such a way that the integration points are common for all the subspaces, yet the (nonnegative) weights are ...

  • An improved embedded finite element formulation for investigating fluid flow behavior in fractured porous media 

    Borges Cavalcanti, Danilo; Mejia, Cristian; Roehl, Deane; Martha, Luiz F.; Pouplana Sarda, Ignasi de; Casas, Guillermo (Universidade do Porto, 2023)
    Conference lecture
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Discontinuities, such as fractures and geological faults, are present in several geological models where a fluid flow analysis is performed. In cases where the discontinuity filling material has a lower permeability than ...

  • Evidences of directional soil response comportment 

    Lucas Rojas, Luis José; Caselles Magallón, Josep Oriol; Salinas Naval, Víctor; Pérez Gracia, María de la Vega; Clapés Boixader, Jaime (Universitat d'Alacant, 2023)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    In recent years, the importance of considering other peaks than the predominant in the soil response has been revendicated. One possible explanation for some of these secondary peaks in the soil response is the presence ...

  • Cracking of a concrete arch dam due to seasonal temperature variations 

    Pouplana Sarda, Ignasi de; Gracia, Lorenzo; Salazar González, Fernando; Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio (Royal Institute of Technology, 2017)
    Conference lecture

    A finite element thermomechanical analysis of a concrete arch dam has been carried out to predict the extent of cracking due to temperature variations. A linear elastic analysis allows us to find out the areas exceeding ...

  • Static and seismic analysis of the Janneh arch-gravity dam 

    Gracia, Lorenzo; Pouplana Sarda, Ignasi de; Salazar González, Fernando; Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio (Royal Institute of Technology, 2017)
    Conference lecture
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The static and seismic analysis of Janneh arch-gravity dam (157 m) is carried out by considering a combination of self-weight, hydrostatic, uplift and seismic loads. Linear and nonlinear analyses are performed for both ...

    Double curvature arch dams feature geometrical complexity with a significant amount of parameters involved. Different criteria exist to assist in the design task, from simplified geometrical approaches to optimization ...

  • Concrete-filled cold-formed chord studs to improve the seismic performance of steel framing buildings 

    Navarro Granados, Jordi; Bové Tous, Oriol; Casafont Ribera, Miguel; Bonada Bo, Jordi; López Almansa, Francisco (University of Sydney, 2023)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Light gauge steel framing is increasingly used, mainly for low-rise buildings. However, for mid-rise buildings, their lateral strength is rather low; therefore, seismic effects can be highly demanding. Steel bracing has ...

  • An efficient procedure for the blood flow computer simulation of patient-specific aortic dissections 

    Zorrilla Martínez, Rubén; Soudah Prieto, Eduardo (Elsevier, 2024-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    In this work we present a novel methodology for the numerical simulation of patient-specific aortic dissections. Our proposal, which targets the seamless virtual prototyping of customized scenarios, combines an innovative ...

  • Estimation of the dynamic seismic response of buildings through transfer functions: a probabilistic approach 

    Tirado Gutiérrez, Rodolfo Javier; Vargas Alzate, Yeudy Felipe; González Drigo, José Ramón; Zapata Franco, Ana Maria (National Technical University of Athens, 2023)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    The significant number of seismic ground motion records to be considered when designing or assessing civil structures is a common restriction. This is because the large computational time involved in the calculation of the ...

  • Simplified nonlinear analysis of doubly corrugated cold-formed steel arches
