Interaction of geometric and material nonlinearities in stainless steel frames
(2021)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyAdequate mechanical properties make stainless steel an excellent construction material for structures. The current stainless steel European structural code EN1993-1-4 (2015) is largely based on provisions given for carbon ... -
Cyclic loading in vertical stainless steel links
(2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyVertical links are dissipative devices in form of beam-column segments that are included in eccentrically braced frames (EBF). Studies related to different configurations of links have been presented for carbon steel ... -
On the use of systems for tests on stainless steel members and frames aimed at interoperability
(2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyAn experimental development of systems for tests on stainless steel members and frames aimed at providing interoperability is presented. In the context of the project PINOX, tests on stainless steel members and frames have ... -
Ground movement control in the construction of a new metro line in Barcelona
(CRC Press, 2005)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyGround movement control is of paramount importance in the construction of a new Metro line in Barcelona given the large diameter of the excavation and the need to cross heavily built areas. A variety of construction ... -
Laboratory test to study the effect of comminution in rockfalls
(2021)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyFragmentation in rockfalls reduces the size of the blocks and increases the number of fragments. It affects the runout and the impact energies, having implications in the associated hazard and therefore in the subsequent ... -
Preliminary study on new micro textile waste fiber reinforced cement composite
(International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM), 2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyLarge amounts of nonrenewable resources are depleted by the construction industry in addition to the generation of million tons of mineral waste and carbon dioxide gas every year. For the sake of a more sustainable consumption ... -
Using several monitoring techniques to measure the rock mass deformation in the Montserrat Massif
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2015)
Conference lecture
Open AccessMontserrat Mountain is located near Barcelona in Catalonia, at the north-east cornerof Spain, and its massif is formed by conglomerate interleaved by siltstone/sandstone withsteep slopes very prone to rock ... -
Temperature and loading rate susceptibility of bituminous mixtures on monotonic testing
(International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM), 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe loading rate and temperature susceptibility of bituminous materials is of great importance. Their modulus and phase angle are strongly affected by any change of these two variables. For that reason, many researchers ... -
A simplified approach to account for directionality effects on 2D dynamic soil-structure interaction analysis
(CRC Press, 2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this study, a simplified approach to account for directionality effects on twodimensional (2D) dynamic soil-structure interaction analyses (DSSI) is proposed. When an earthquake is recorded, the direction with the maximum ... -
Acquisition and processing of buildings’ vibrations using a Real-Aperture Radar, a non-invasive method
(2018)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper, a simplified non-invasive method to diagnose the safety state of buildings is tested. The method is based in remote sensing measurements of the natural vibrations of actual buildings using an interferometric ... -
Numerical analysis of hydrodynamic conditions in pilot flat-panel photobioreactor: operating and design parameters influence on the microalgae cultivation
(ETA Florence Renewable Energies, 2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this work was to investigate the influence of hydrodynamic conditions on the process of microalgae cultivation in a pilot flat-panel photobioreactor (150 L of culture medium). Based on the pulse-input indicator ... -
New capacity and energy based damage index
(2018)
Conference report
Open AccessNon-linear dynamic analysis and the damage index of Park-Ang have been often used to assess expected seismic damage to a structure. Depending on the size of the structure and the duration of the record, the computational ...
