Seismic damage assessment of URM buildings: a comparison of non-linear static procedures
(2016)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn the scientific literature, a significant number of non-linear procedures are proposed in order to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of a building. In this work, and in the context of the Risk-UE methodology, a complete ... -
Capacity curve based damage index for steel buildings: a probabilistic approach
(2016)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe capacity and expected seismic damage of several types of steel buildings are assessed by using a probabilistic approach. Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are performed by means of Monte Carlo Simulations. Concerning ... -
Evaluation of seismic damage in low-rise buildings of reinforced concrete masonry
(2016)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe assessment of damage caused by earthquakes in structures, requires the use of nonlinear analysis, either static or dynamic, in order to define the performance of the buildings for the considered hazard levels. In this ... -
New parametric model for capacity curves and a new capacity based damage index
(2016)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyA recently proposed parametric model re-conceptualizes capacity curves as composed by linear and non-linear parts. The normalized non-linear capacity curve can be modelled by a cumulative lognormal function. While the ... -
Seismic assessment of high-rise URM buildings: a probabilistic approach
(2016)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe definition of the seismic demand and the correct characterization of the mechanical properties of the materials are two of the major difficulties in the seismic damage assessment of unreinforced masonry buildings due ... -
La gestión de la calidad: algunas reflexiones sobre los procesos de calidad que se implantan en los centros docentes universitarios
(2013)
Conference report
Open AccessResumen. Tras diseñar un sistema interno de garantía de calidad se inició el proceso de implantación. Sin embargo, este proceso se ha dilatado en el tiempo y no se ha podido finalizar todavía. Es posible que muchos de los ... -

Ground-penetrating radar prospection at the Jesuits' Church in Valletta, Malta
(European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE), 2016)
Conference report
Open AccessIn this paper, results of Ground-Penetrating Radar measurements performed at the church of the Jesuits in Valletta, Malta, are presented. This experimental activity was carried out during an International Training School ... -
GPR analysis of water content in concrete specimen - laboratory test
(2017)
Conference lecture
Open AccessApplications of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) in civil engineering context are popular and it has been widely used to characterize the media in terms of structural arrangement and pathologies. This work presents some tests ... -
Tunnel assessment with borehole radar
(2017)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe collapse of a tunnel and the damage in a second tunnel during the construction works, forced to the assessment of the ground in the front tunnel of the second structure, in order to avoid additional problems. The first ... -
Ground penetrating radar assessment of historical buildings: the study of the roofs, columns and ground of Santa Maria del Mar, in Barcelona / GPR assessment of the basilica Santa Maria del Mar
(IEEE Press, 2017)
Conference report
Open AccessSanta Maria del Mar is a magnificent gothic church built between 1329 and 1383 in a neighbourhood outside the city walls, over the remains of a more ancient church. The inhabitants of this district (merchants, downloaders ... -
Buildings in Barcelona protected from railway-induced vibrations with base isolation
(Centre Internacional de Mètodes Numèrics en Enginyeria (CIMNE), 2014)
Conference report
Open AccessThis work describes two mid-height RC base isolated buildings recently erected in Barcelona. Both buildings are located near the main railway station in Barcelona (Barcelona-Sants), thus undergoing dynamic excitations due ...
