[Otros] Exposure to an aggressive marine atmosphere can seriously harm reinforced concrete (RC) structures and affects a building's service life. In particular, buildings close to the sea are at high risk of suffering ...

[EN] In this work, a non-linear 3D numerical model to study concrete-filled tubular (CFST) columns is presented. The numerical model is capable to consider the passive confinement that occurs in the concrete core of CFST ...

This paper describes a full-scale test on a building constructed so as to enable study of the transmission of loads between slabs and shores during the processes of shoring and striking. The experimental model consisted ...

Among the different methods of strengthening RC columns, steel caging is one of the most extensively used, for square or rectangular cross-section columns. Few studies have been carried out on steel caging and most of these ...

[EN] The city of Valencia has a large underground network that makes urban mobility easier for citizens. The construction of the new underground line T2 was planned a long time ago. This line will run from north to south ...

[EN] Al parc eòlic "Abuela de Santa Ana" en la localitat de Pozo Lorente (Albacete), es va produir el col·lapse sobtat de un aerogenerador tipus GE Energy 1.5 als pocs messos de la seua instalación. El col·lapse es va ...

[EN] This paper describes and analyses the results of an experimental programme carried out at the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia on 18 reinforced concrete (RC) columns, 12 of which had been repaired on one side with ...

The steel caging technique is used to strengthen RC columns all over the world, as it has been shown to be effective, economical and easy to apply. Most studies carried out to date on this strengthening technique have ...

[EN] This paper describes an experimental study on patch-repaired reinforced concrete columns subjected to axial loads until failure. The behaviour of four series of columns repaired with Class R3 and R4 cement-based mortar ...

This paper presents the analysis of a failure involving the partial collapse of a masonry wall made of precast concrete blocks in an industrial building as a result of the action of the wind. A field survey was carried out ...
