  Analysis and calibration of Ground Penetrating Radar shielded antennas 

  Rasol, M.; Pérez Gracia, María de la Vega; Santos Assunçao, Sonia (2018)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive geophysical method applied in many civil engineering applications. The knowledge of the GPR antennas behavior is crucial to obtain accurate results and comprehensive data ...

  The GPR assessment of buildings depends on the structure or part of the building studied. In this paper, three different case study are presented, all of them about old buildings that need to be restored or modified. ...
• Seismic damage assessment of URM buildings: a comparison of non-linear static procedures 

  González Drigo, José Ramón; Ávila Haro, Jorge Arturo; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Barbat Barbat, Horia Alejandro (2016)
  Conference report

  The 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 

  Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Vargas Alzate, Yeudy Felipe; Barbat Barbat, Horia Alejandro; González Drigo, José Ramón; Díaz-Alvarado, S.A.; Hidalgo-Leiva, D.A. (2016)
