  • Damage identification of RC beams using Feed-Forward Back Propagation Neural Network Approach (FFBPN) 

    Oroz Farfan, Kjarol Adriano; Ramos Cari, Vladimir; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Delgadillo Ayala, Rick Milton (Scipedia, 2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Reinforced concrete (RC) beams are constantly exposed to environmental factors, overloads and aging, which is a challenging problem because they increase the risk of structural failure. In this sense, the detection of ...

  • Vibration-based fatigue assessment and damage detection in bridge cables 

    Xu, B.; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Wu, Z. R. (2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Cable monitoring and safety evaluation are crucial for cable-supported bridges in service. Due to its cost-effectiveness and convenience, vibration-based methods are widely used in cable monitoring. The fatigue assessment ...

  • Evaluation of structural response in ultra-high-strength concrete and carbon fiber reinforced frames exposed to high temperatures using numerical simulation 

    Manco, Danitza L.; Palacios, Anthony L.; Dávila, Víctor I.; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Delgadillo Ayala, Rick Milton (Trans Tech Publications, 2023)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Reinforced concrete exposed to high temperatures, such as in a fire, poses a serious threat to buildings by weakening the concrete and reducing the structure's stiffness. Therefore, the article investigated the structural ...

  • Spectral dynamic analysis of Buckling Restrained Brace (BRB) configurations in an irregular building 

    Orellana, Gianjairo M.; Ramos, Brithney C.; Velásquez, Francisco; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Delgadillo, Rick M. (University of Toronto Press, 2024)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This research covers a comparison between different configurations for the application of Restricted Buckling Brace (BRB) through the dynamic analysis of an irregular building that does not comply with the maximum drifts ...

  • Automatic calibration of structural BIM models applied to bridges 

    Lozano Galant, Fidel; Atencio, Edison; Tošić, Nikola; González-Arteaga, Jesús; Xia, Ye; Lozano Galant, José Antonio (2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Building Information Modeling (BIM) enables the creation of digital twins that simulate physical assets like buildings and infrastructure. Achieving an accurate representation of the true structural behavior necessitates ...

  • Bayesian-updated POD of ultrasonic tomography in the inspection of PT bridges 

    Mazzatura, Isabella; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Caprili, Silvia; Salvatore, Walter (2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    The present research aims to furnish a proper methodology for the reliability assessment of non-destructive tests in the particular field of inspection of post-tensioned (PT) structures. The focus is on the Ultrasonic ...

  • Reliability of UT for the grouting inspection in PT bridges: a case study 

    Mazzatura, Isabella; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Caprili, Silvia; Salvatore, Walter (2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    The inspection of the condition of prestressing steel in post-tensioned structures is a challenging issue because of the potential presence of corrosion in the tendons not warned by any other visible degradation condition. ...

  • Influence of the correlation of GVWs in the simulation of vehicle spatial distribution of extreme effects in long-span bridges 

    Wang, Xuejing; Ruan, Xin; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Zhang, M. (2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Compared to small and medium-span bridges, long-span bridges have longer loading spaces and more complex extreme response value scenarios. It is shown that the phenomena of heavy vehicle aggregation and heavy vehicle queuing ...

  • Sustainability and digitalization in bridge management: how far we are? 

    Casas Rius, Joan Ramon (2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Sustainability and digitalization are two main topics in many research programs in Europe and worldwide. It seems that bridge managers can largely benefit from the current digital transformation where processes using digital ...

  • Integration of BIM and MIVES to automate the sustainability assessment of viaducts 

    Lozano Galant, Fidel; Jurado, Julio Cesar; Fuente Antequera, Albert de la; Lozano Galant, José Antonio; Turmo Coderque, José (2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Among the multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, the Integrated Value Model for Sustainability Assessment (MIVES) stands out for its ability to quantitatively assess sustainability of civil and construction engineering ...

  • Long-term performance evaluation of low-cost sensors using AI-driven tools 

    Lozano Galant, Fidel; Emadi, Seyyedbehrad; Komarizadehasl, Seyedmilad; González-Arteaga, Jesús; Xia, Ye; Lozano Galant, José Antonio (2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In civil engineering and architectural applications, Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) accelerometer-based inclinometers are widely used due to their costeffectiveness. However, a major challenge associated with these ...

  • Evaluation of Low-cost Adaptable Reliable Accelerometer (LARA) technology 

    Delgado Zhagui, Erika Beatriz; Torralba Mendiola, Víctor; Komarizadehasl, Seyedmilad; Ramos Schneider, Gonzalo; Turmo Coderque, José; Lozano Galant, José Antonio (2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Structural health monitoring (SHM) applications are gaining increasing attention because they enable the early detection and characterization of damage during a prevention phase. Furthermore, SHM can also provide useful ...
