[EN] The risk of structural failure of buildings can be significant during construction. Temporary adjustable telescopic steel shores or props are commonly used in building construction. The failure of shores is sudden and ...

The use of steel caging for strengthening a reinforced concrete (RC) column is an economical and common solution. However, the design of the optimum steel cage is a complex task. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) has shown ...

[EN] From the early 19th to the middle of the 20th century, brick chimneys formed part of the industrial landscape. As technology advanced, factories were abandoned and became absorbed by the cities growing around them but ...

[EN] Damage to the structure of buildings near the coast is often caused by the marine environment. This paper describes a study carried out on the state of the structures of buildings in towns near the coast in Valencia ...

[ES] Los últimos años han estado marcados por un número cada vez más elevado de estudios sobre el colapso progresivo y la robustez estructural como consecuencia de la persistente aparición y aparentemente creciente frecuencia ...

The use of mathematical tools such as Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic has been shown to be useful for solving complex engineering problems, without the need to reproduce the phenomenon under study, when the only ...

[EN] This paper contains a summary of the experience obtained by ICITECH's researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de València in the last thirty years of investigating reinforced concrete (RC) building structures under ...

[EN] Over the past few decades, increasing awareness of the need for more resilient infrastructure has led to a great increase in the amount of research being performed on the progressive collapse and structural robustness ...

[EN] Mainly, to economize the construction process of building structures and slabs using successive levels of shoring, two strategies are adopted. On the one hand, it tries to reduce the time spent in each of the construction ...

[ES] En el año 2010, el Reglamento colombiano de construcción sismoresistente (NSR-10) estableció el procedimiento de diseño basado en el método de los esfuerzos admisibles para utilizar la Guadua angustifolia Kunth como ...
