• Critical buckling load on transversally and longitudinally stiffened steel plate girders subjected to patch loading 

  Herrera, Juan Carlos; Chacón Flores, Rolando Antonio (CRC Press, 2019)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  It has been investigated that the patch loading resistance model available in European design rules may lead to an underestimation for plate girders with closely spaced transverse stiffeners. Predicting models have been ...

  Influence of plastic recycled aggregates in the hardened properties of concretes 

  Hernández Mendiola, Ernesto; Etxeberria Larrañaga, Miren (2019)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  The use of the new resource of man-made plastic aggregates as an alternative to natural aggregate could be a viable answer for developing new construction material. Not only would we eliminate a harmful waste but also ...
• Characterization and modeling of the thermal and mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete at early ages 

  Crespo Garibay, María Delia; Molins i Borrell, Climent; Marí Bernat, Antonio Ricardo (International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM), 2019)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  Cracking of concrete at early ages, that may affect the structure durability and even its safety, can be simulated by means of models based on the concepts of degree of hydration and equivalent age, which require the ...
• Preliminary study and tests arrangements for experimental programme on stainless steel frames 

  Arrayago Luquin, Itsaso; Real Saladrigas, Esther; Mirambell Arrizabalaga, Enrique (Independent Publishing Platform, 2019)
  Conference report

  In recent years, a considerable amount of research has been devoted to the understanding of the structural performance of single isolated stainless steel members. Notwithstanding, advances related to the analysis of more ...
• Structural behaviourof dual eccentrically braced frames with welded dog-bone joints subjected to cyclic loading 

  Jiménez, Adrià; Mirambell Arrizabalaga, Enrique; Real Saladrigas, Esther (Independent Publishing Platform, 2019)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  This paper presents the results of a series of simulations of welded dog-bone connections subjected to cyclic and monotonic loading. Reduced beam section (RBS) connections are a very easy to apply and economical solution, ...
