(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 ... -
Roofs of the future: rooftop greenhouses to improve buildings metabolism
(2015)
Conference report
Open AccessAncient civilizations had agriculture production in their metropolis but modern urban planning separated agriculture from cities, such as Chandigarh by Le Corbusier. At present, FAO estimates that urban agriculture produces ... -
Tests on ferritic stainless steel RHS and SHS beam-columns
(2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe desirable features offered by different stainless steel grades have encouraged the use of this material in construction and the lower nickel content of the ferritic grades allows, additionally, controlling and decreasing ... -
Tests on ferritic stainless steel simply supported and continuous SHS and RHS beams
(CRC Press, 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyDevelopment of efficient design guidance for stainless steel structures is key for the spreading of this corrosion-resistant material by considering both nonlinear behavior and strain hardening into predicting expressions, ... -
Influence of the quality of recycled aggregates on the mechanical and durability properties of High Performance Concrete
(Universidad de Cantabria, 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe main objective of this experimental work is to analyse the effect of recycled aggregates (RA) on the basis of the study of the various qualities of the physical, mechanical and durability properties of High Performance ... -
Correlation between the Barcelona test and the three-point bending test for the characterization of SCFRC
(Universidade do Porto, 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policySelf-compacting concrete has proved itself to be a suitable solution in many scopes of construction industry. Its higher performance and better flowability has allowed considering its use in new applications. Nevertheless, ... -
Monitoring of flexural and shear crack pattern in concrete structures by distributed optical fiber
(International Society for Structural Health Monitoring of Intelligent Infrastructure (ISHMII), 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn the present paper, two methodologies to obtain flexural and shear crack pattern in concrete elements using distributed optical fiber are proposed. The first has been validated through experimental results of tests carried ... -
Life-cycle system performance of bridges: a robustness-based approach
(University of British Columbia (UBC), 2015)
Conference report
Open AccessCorrosion in reinforced concrete and steel structures is among the most damaging phenomena to structural safety and therefore one of the most demanding when facing the life-cycle analysis of such structures. However, the ... -
Robustness and health monitoring of existing bridges
(Associação Portuguesa para a Segurança e Conservação de Pontes (ASCP), 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe paper shows how the robustness concept, mainly developed and thought for the design of new structures, and the monitoring by suitable sensors based on fiber optics can also play a relevant role in the safety and ... -

Concrete with crumb rubber from used tyres
(2014)
Conference report
Open AccessThis study aims to determine the influence of the substitution of a variable volume of aggregates on a concrete by an equivalent quantity of crumb rubber (CR) obtained from used tyres. The physical and mechanical properties ... -
Experimental RAO’s analysis of a monolithic concrete spar structure for offshore floating wind turbines
(2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyNowadays the offshore wind energy market is clearly oriented to be extended around the world. Bottom fixed solutions for supporting offshore wind turbines are useful in shallow waters which are available in ...
