Assessment of moisture effect on open graded mixes using water sensitivity and Cántabro after immersion tests
(CRC Press, 2009)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn Spain, water damage on the cohesion of porous asphalt (PA) and asphalt concrete for very thin layers (BBTM mixtures with a void content over 12%) was assessed using the Cántabro after immersion test (NLT-352). European ... -
A new open source solver for modelling fluid-structure interaction: case study of a point-absorberwave energy converter with power take-off unit
(National Technical University of Athens, 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessIn this work, the capabilities of the open source code DualSPHysics coupled with the multiphysics library Project Chrono are shown. The framework is validated through an experimental campaign performed on a wave energy ... -
Effect of supplementary cementitious material and fine recycled aggregates on shrinkage properties of self-compacting microconcrete
(Centro Internacional de Métodos Numéricos en Ingeniería (CIMNE), 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessAn increase in the population has led to the progressive construction of infrastructures and buildings. This causes severe environmental problems, firstly high emissions of CO2 are caused in cement production; secondly, a ... -
Influence of high volume fly ash and recycled aggregates in chloride and carbonation resistance of concrete
(Centro Internacional de Métodos Numéricos en Ingeniería (CIMNE), 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper deals with the evaluation of the influence of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and the employment of high volume of fly ash (FA) on the physical, mechanical and durability (chloride ion penetration and carbonation) ... -
Distributed Optical Fiber for laboratory and field testing in concrete structures
(World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper outlines the principal results of laboratory and field testing in concrete structures to show the capabilities of distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) in their application to monitoring concrete structures. ... -
Discrete element simulation of the fresh state steel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete
(Springer, 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe distribution and orientation of fibers in Steel Fiber Reinforcement Self-Compacting Concrete (SFRSCC) are paramount given its influence in the mechanical properties of the material/structural elements. A two-way coupled ... -
Equivalence between flexural toughness and energy absorption capacity of FRC
(Springer, 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe increase of toughness and residual strengths are the great benefits of incorporating fibres in concrete. However, there is still no agreement regarding the most suitable experimental procedure for its determination and ... -
Designing maths-based STEAM activities for civil engineering curricula

Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper depicts a “Work-in-progress” set of pedagogical activities and workshops particularly designed for students at the beginning of civil engineering bachelor courses. The pedagogical project is aimed at fostering ... -
Image-based measurements of degree of saturation
(E3S Web of Conferences, 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessA method based on SWIR images is proposed for measuring the degree of saturation in soils. This method is especially suitable for use in experiments conducted in the facilities of a common geotechnical laboratory. The ... -
New strategies for environmental management in harbours: the case of the Tarragona port monobuoy
(Edicions UPC, 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessPorts are a potential focus of sea pollution and therefore port authorities and operators have a key role on the sustainability and environmental protection of the coastal waters. In the last decades, monitoring techniques ... -
Experimental testing of tile vaults
(CRC Press. Taylor & Francis Group, 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyTile vaults (sometimes also referred to as thin-tile, timbrel, Catalan or Guastavino vaults) are masonry structures made with thin bricks (tiles), mortar and fast-setting cement or gypsum. This traditional construction ... -
Reconstructing the Aznalcóllar mine accident 20 year later: numerical modelling of the flood
(CRC Press, 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe Aznalcóllar mine-pond break is the most catastrophic mining accident regis-tered in the Iberian Peninsula (April 1998), and caused a tailings spill that affected around 45 km of the Agrio and Guadiamar Rivers. The flood ...
