Evaluation of the effects of recycled aggregates on the properties of high performance concrete
In recent decades, the use of High Performance Concrete (HPC) has grown vastly, being used in multiple applications with high requirements. However, the use of recycled aggregates (RA) has been mostly limited to conventional ...
Characterization and modelling of previous concrete
Pervious concrete is a special material with high permeability usually obtained by reducing the amount of fine aggregates in the composition of concrete. The properties of pervious concrete not only depend on its composition ...
Diseño de una nueva barrera continua de hormigón "in situ"
Pervious concrete is a special material with high permeability usually obtained by reducing the amount of fine aggregates in the composition of concrete. The properties of pervious concrete not only depend on its composition ...
Structural behaviour and design criteria of spatial arch bridges
Spatial Arch Bridges (SABs) are defined as bridges in which vertical deck loads produce bending moments and shear forces not contained in the arch plane due to their geometrical and structural configuration. Moreover, the ...
Structural design and characterisation of FRC precast segments
Concrete technology has changed greatly in the past decades. Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is an example of the development in this field. It is obtained by adding fibres that act as a reinforcement of the cement ...
Sustainability concepts applied to the design of recycled aggregates concrete
Due to the related problems and the ongoing awareness on environmental issues is that efforts are put in different areas of knowledge, in order to determine, analyze and formulate solutions towards a sustainable future. ...
Comportamiento y diseño de hormigones estructurales con áridos siderúrgicos EAF
The use of the EAF steel slags as aggregate in the production of concrete has gained great interest with the increasing concern about the environment impact and the sustainability in the construction industry. The EAF steel ...
Características estructurales del hormigón con árido reciclado mixto reforzado con fibras
Despite the advance that has led the incorporation of Annex 15 in the Spanish EHE-08, the use of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is minimum in structural applications. This regulation limits the percentage of substitution ...
Experimental and numerical study of the structural effects of steel corrosion in continuous RC beams
Many reinforced concrete structures suffer damage due to aging and due to the environmental agressivity, thus affecting their serviceability performance and safety. Structural evaluation of a deteriorated structure is ...
Modelling and structural analysis of historical masonry systems including vaulted structure
The conservation of historic structures has been given special attention due to their cultural, social and economic importance. However they often show considerable structural vulnerability and have been seriously damaged ...
Los pináculos de la Sagrada Familia : restauración y obra nueva
Antoni Gaudí developed, for the pinnacles ofthe Sagrada Famí!ia, a unique constructive solution with precast concrete elements which were slightlyreinforced and covered with a trencadís ofMurano glass (Venice). In the ...
Derivation of the properties of masonry through micro-modeling techniques
The aim of this thesis is to present a framework for the application of micro-modeling techniques for the analysis of unreinforced masonry structures. Finite element analyses of case studies from the literature are carried ...
Sensitivity of urban buildings to tunneling-induced settlements
Tunneling construction represents an alteration to the distribution of soil pressures that will almost inevitably generate ground subsidence, which can endanger the adjacent buildings in urban areas. The risk of building ...
Integrated monitoring and structural analysis strategies for the study of large historical construction : application to Mallorca cathedral
Historical structures are vital to the realization of how the technical, artistic, and scientific skills of the human kind have developed over time. These structures are one of the motors of the tourism industry, and ...
Monitorització de projectes no determinats utilitzant Scrum i la Concept-Knowledge Theory
Planning and monitoring of projects are fundamental activities for its management. These tasks provide the required information to have a full picture of a given situation. They are an instrument that enables the control ...
Web crippling and local buckling response of stainless steel sections
This thesis examines the response of stainless steel members when subjected to transverse and normal forces triggering the instability phenomena called web crippling and local buckling, respectively. Currently, the part ...
MetodologÍa para la evaluación y seguimiento de procedimientos constructivos de forma sostenible e integrada
This doctoral thesis defines a new methodology for evaluating and comparing different construction projects in an objective and systematic manner. It is innovative by incorporating issues as diverse as cost, occupational ...
Gestión integral de obras hidráulicas de hormigón : del diagnóstico a la inversión
This doctoral thesis addresses jointly two paramount aspects in the management of the hydraulic structures in operating regime: the damage diagnosis and the investment prioritisation that should allow repairing such damages. ...
Escala de gravedad de daños en edificios : de la asignación directa a la contrastación estadística
To make the inspection and diagnosis of buildings is useful be able to quantify how far the existing deficiencies are serious or not, in order to facilitate the decision making and prioritize therapeutic interventions. In ...
Structural behaviour of tapered steel plate girders subjected to shear
Tapered plate girders often form part of large-scale structures such as long continuous bridges or industrial buildings where due to considerable loads the higher resistance is required. There are several important reasons ...
