The finite element method is a powerful analysis tool which has facilitated a better understanding of the behaviour of reinforced concrete structures. Its use in the research field is widespread and complements experimental ...

An experimental investigation to determine the transfer length of a seven-wire prestressing strand in different concretes is presented in this paper. A testing technique based on the analysis of bond behaviour by means ...

In the design of slender concrete columns, such as civil or architecture constructions, biaxial compression loads with unequal eccentricities and skew angles at both ends is a common situation. However, in the literature, ...

This paper presents an experimental research work to determine both the transmission and the anchorage lengths of seven-wire prestressing steel strands in different concrete mixes. A testing technique based on a bond ...

Reinforced concrete slender columns, in general, are subjected to a non-uniform bending moment law, due to the occurrence of unequal eccentricities and skew angles at the ends. Design codes suggest calculating an equivalent ...

[EN] The preservation of masonry constructions poses some fundamental issues as regards the protection of the historical and monumental heritage. To this regard, a series of approaches should be suitably conceived for ...

[ES] El Trabajo Fin de Máster plantea la implementación de la filosofía Lean Construction mediante la metodología del Sistema del Último Planificador (SUP) en la actividad de encofrado de elementos verticales y horizontales ...

The purpose of this paper is to present a proposal for the design of steel structures sensitive to lateral torsional buckling due to bending moment in order to fill the gaps in the current Standard EN 1993- 1-1, guidelines ...

[ES] Es una práctica extendida en el diseño de obras de edificación el empleo en los pórticos de marcos de hormigón armado con tabiquería de obra de fábrica. Estos últimos elementos no se tienen en cuenta, habitualmente, ...

[EN] Dapped-end beams (DEB), also known as Gerber joints or half joints, are frequently used at supports in reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, particularly in precast concrete manufacturing. DEB is a popular ...
