(2021-07)
Article
Open AccessEn el marco de una investigación sobre políticas de regeneración urbana, este trabajo se propone realizar un análisis crítico de la manera en que ciertos programas “aterrizan” en 5 barrios de alta vulnerabilidad de la ... -
Innovative shear transfer system for Concrete Filled Steel Tubes (CFST) in columns
(2021-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe common failure mode of composite steel-concrete structural elements, such as composite columns, generally occurs due to the relative slipping or separation of the steel sheet and the concrete. This leads to materials ... -
Study of the fire and thermal behaviour of façade panels made of natural fibre-reinforced cement-based composites
(Elsevier, 2021-07-13)
Article
Open AccessThe thermal and fire behaviour of calcium aluminate cement-based composites with a variable metakaolin content (from 0 to 40 wt% addition) reinforced with nonwoven flax fabrics has been examined. The fire behaviour was ... -
Thermal and mechanical properties laboratory evaluation of hollow brick made of Rred clay and rice husk additive
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2020-12-12)
Article
Open AccessHollow bricks in Rred clay for masonry are important in design and construction of buildings. Their thermal and mechanical properties must be considered because of the impact they have on energy consumption. The objective ... -
Real-reference buildings for urban energy modelling: a multistage validation and diversification approach
(2021-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyUrban energy models are required to establish baselines, map buildings' performance, and explore energy and CO2 emissions reduction strategies. The authors propose a new reductive bottom-up model to estimate the final ... -
