Flexural fatigue of pre-cracked plastic fibre reinforced concrete: experimental study and numerical modeling
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe objective of this paper is to analyse the mechanical behaviour of polypropylene fibre reinforced concrete subjected to load cycles and propose a model to predict the crack-opening increase and mechanical performance ... -
A decision methodology for determining suitable post-disaster accommodations: reconsidering effective indicators for decision-making processes
(Walter De Gruyter, 2020-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyOne of the main challenges in assisting displaced persons who have lost their homes as a result of a natural hazard is the provision of adequate post-disaster accommodations, such as temporary housing. Although the need ... -
Characterization of a textile waste nonwoven fabric reinforced cement composite for non-structural building components
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Article
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 ... -
Mechanical and durability characterization of a new textile waste micro-fiber reinforced cement composite for building applications
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Article
Open AccessFiber reinforced mortars (FRM) are growingly used in several fields of building technology (e.g., façade panels, roofing, raised floors and masonry structures) as building elements. One of the promising type of fiber for ... -
An energy efficiency-based classification approach for street lighting by considering operational factors: a case study of Barcelona
