[EN] This paper describes a study carried out in the ICITECH laboratories (Universitat Politècnica de València) on RC columns repaired on all four sides with cementitious-based mortars. A total of 18 specimens were tested, ...

[EN] The conventional seismic design approach used in recent years relies on the ability of structures to dissipate earthquake energy through inelastic deformations in specifically designed regions of the structural system, ...

[EN] Thanks to their excellent deformation capacity and ductility, smart materials are now being increasingly used in the construction industry, one example being superelastic Shape Memory Alloys (SMA)such as Ni-Ti, which ...

[EN] In the hospital world and especially in spine surgery, there is an increasing need for equipment operating as the patient support is adapted to the current stretchers. Estimated, through expert consulting physicians ...

[EN] Research in seismic engineering have a very high importance due to the social and economic interest they arouse. The development of new construction materials or the use of existing ones applied to structural engineering ...

The use of high strength concrete (HSC) in columns has become more frequent since a substantial reduction of the cross-section is obtained, meaning that slenderness increases for the same axial load and length, producing ...

[EN] The content is focused on getting an ideal reconstruction and understanding, through comparison and constructive and geometric principles of similar models, one of the most characteristic and representative elements ...

La siguiente aplicación permite determinar la capacidad resistente de las piezas comprimidas y flectadas con sección en doble te, susceptibles de pandear lateralmente. Para ello se obtienen las magnitudes de las imperfecciones ...

Most design codes (Model Code 90, ACI-318-2008 and Eurocode-2-2004) suggest that the effect of a geometrical imperfection ought to be taken into account in the most unfavorable direction when designing slender reinforced ...
