• Dynamic elastic properties of brick masonry constituents 

  Makoond, Nirvan Chandra; Pelà, Luca; Molins i Borrell, Climent (Elsevier, 2019-02)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  When subjected to dynamic loading, materials can exhibit a mechanical behaviour quite different from its static counterpart. The evaluation of dynamic properties is thus very useful in the assessment of existing masonry ...
• Contribution of externally bonded FRP shear reinforcement to the shear strength of RC beams 

  Oller Ibars, Eva; Pujol Sánchez, Mireia; Marí Bernat, Antonio Ricardo (Elsevier, 2019-05)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  An experimental program of T-beams strengthened in shear by CFRP sheets has been developed with two longitudinal reinforcement ratios and different externally bonded CFRP shear strengthening amounts in a discontinuous or ...
• Análisis de un caso de inestabilidad lateral de un viga de hormigón pretensado de gran luz en fase de izado 

  Fuente Antequera, Albert de la; Pialarissi Cavalaro, Sergio Henrique; Bairán García, Jesús Miguel (2018-09)
  Article

  Las mejoras tecnológicas de la prefabricación con hormigón han hecho competitivo el uso de vigas prefabricadas de luces cada vez mayores en comparación con otras alternativas. Sin embargo, el peso de las vigas es limitante ...
• Effects of material nonlinearity on the global analysis and stability of stainless steel frames 

  Walport, Fiona; Gardner, Leroy; Real Saladrigas, Esther; Arrayago Luquin, Itsaso; Nethercot, David A. (2019-01)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  In structural frames, second order effects refer to the internal forces and moments that arise as a result of deformations under load (i.e. geometrical nonlinearity). EN 1993-1-1 states that global second order effects may ...
• The influence of different wind and wave conditions on the energy yield and downtime of a Spar-buoy floating wind turbine 

  Lerch, Markus; Prada Gil, Mikel de; Molins i Borrell, Climent (2019-06)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) have been extensively proven in model tests and are reaching currently a pre-commercial phase where large scale demonstrators are being built offshore. This transition increases the ...

  Ultimate capacity of corroded statically indeterminate reinforced concrete members 

  Fernández Pérez, Ignacio; Herrador Barrios, Manuel F.; Marí Bernat, Antonio Ricardo; Bairán García, Jesús Miguel (Springer, 2018-12)
  Article
  Open Access

  The corrosion of steel reinforcement is commonly believed to be the primary cause of structural deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures; as a result of this deterioration, a RC structure can incur a considerable ...
• Use of BCN test for controlling tension capacity of fiber reinforced shotcrete in mining works 

  Carmona Malatesta, Sergio; Molins i Borrell, Climent (Elsevier, 2019-02)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  Fiber reinforced shotcrete (FRS) is widely used for tunnel construction. However, the systematic control of FRS properties is hampered by the complexities of the experimental procedures used. The experiments are normally ...
• Experimental study on ferritic stainless steel trapezoidal decks for composite slabs in construction stage 

  Arrayago Luquin, Itsaso; Real Saladrigas, Esther; Mirambell Arrizabalaga, Enrique; Marimón Carvajal, Federico; Ferrer Ballester, Miquel (2019-01)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  The use of composite floor slabs is well established and provides an opportunity to promote the use of visually exposed composite slabs. Stainless steels, with the combination of good mechanical properties and excellent ...

  Construction possibilities for monolithic concrete spar buoy serial production 

  Molins i Borrell, Climent; Yagüe Martín, Adrián; Trubat Casal, Pau (Institute of Physics (IOP), 2018-11)
  Article
  Open Access

  The monolithic nature of Windcrete, that sees floater, transition piece and tower as a single concrete structure, has direct impact on its potential construction process. The large-draft spar-buoy, to be fully completed ...
• Monotonic and cyclic testing of clay brick and lime mortar masonry in compression 

  Segura Domingo, Jorge; Pelà, Luca; Roca Fabregat, Pedro (Elsevier, 2018-12)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  This research presents an experimental programme on the mechanical characterization of masonry under monotonic and cyclic uniaxial compression. Two different types of standard specimens, running bond walls and stack bond ...
• Building survey forms for heterogeneous urban areas in seismically hazardous zones: application to the historical center of Valparaíso, Chile 

  Jiménez, Belén; Pelà, Luca; Hurtado, Marcela (Taylor & Francis, 2018-08)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  Building survey is an essential data-collection procedure to feed large-scale seismic vulnerability assessment. The available strategies usually consider survey forms to gather information about the urban buildings. The ...
• Development of IoT applications in civil engineering classrooms using mobile devices 

  Chacón Flores, Rolando Antonio; Posada, Hector; Toledo, Alvaro; Gouveia, Maria (2018-09)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  This paper presents academic efforts aimed at integrating methodologies associated with the use of mobile devices, the potential of the Internet of Things (IoT), and the role of experimental education in civil engineering. ...
