Causes of damage to industrial brick masonry chimneys

López Patiño, Mª Gracia; Adam Martínez, José Miguel; Verdejo Gimeno, Pedro; Milani, Gabriele (Elsevier, 2017)

[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 ...
Classification of damage to the structures of buildings in towns in coastal areas

Adam Martínez, José Miguel; Moreno, José D.; Bonilla Salvador, María Mercedes; Pellicer, Teresa M. Moreno, José D. (Elsevier, 2016)

[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 ...
Clay-related damage in rainscreen walls built with natural stone coverings

Gutiérrez Ortiz de la Tabla, Javier; Mas Tomas, Maria de los Angeles; Gil Benso, Enrique; Galvañ Llopis, Vicente (Elsevier, 2012-04)

Clay particles found in many building stones, when in contact with water, suffer aggregation-disaggregation and swelling-shrinking processes which can cause severe pathology. Whilst research has focused on historic buildings ...
Diagnosis / Intervention criteria in damaged slabs by severe corrosion of prestressed joists

Vercher Sanchis, José María; Gil Benso, Enrique; Mas Tomas, Maria de los Angeles; Lerma Elvira, Carlos (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013-09-19)

This research defines diagnosis criteria in R/C one-way slabs with severe corrosion at the lower prestressed reinforcement of the joists and proposes specific actuation criteria and constructive recommendations to increase ...
Effect of silane coupling agents on basalt fiber-epoxidized vegetable oil matrix composite materials analyzed by the single fiber fragmentation technique

Samper Madrigal, María Dolores; Petrucci, R.; Sánchez Nacher, Lourdes; Balart Gimeno, Rafael Antonio; Kenny, J. M. (Wiley, 2015-07)

The fiber-matrix interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of biobased epoxy composites reinforced with basalt fiber was investigated by the fragmentation method. Basalt fibers were modified with four different silanes, ...
Estudio numérico para la elaboración de mapas de inundación considerando la hipótesis de rotura en balsas para riego

Sánchez-Romero, F.J.; Pérez-Sánchez, M.; Redón-Santafé, M.; Torregrosa Soler, J.B.; Ferrer Gisbert, C.; Ferrán Gozálvez, J.J.; Ferrer Gisbert, A.; López-Jiménez, P.A. (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2019-01-30)

[EN] The need to regulate the water volume as a function of irrigation needs, as well as the availability of hydric resources, caused the building of a high number of irrigation reservoir. This research describes the process ...
Heterogeneous packing and hydraulic stability of cube and cubipod armor units

GÓMEZ-MARTÍN, M. ESTHER; Medina, Josep R. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014-01)

This paper describes the heterogeneous packing (HEP) failure mode of breakwater armor. HEP reduces packing density in the armor layer near and above the mean water level and increases packing density below it. With HEP, ...
La autofoto en museos. Hacia nuevas políticas de conservación preventiva.

Jiménez Albir, Verónica (2017-10-17)

[EN] The current Master’s thesis is titled ‘The autophoto in museums. Towards new preventive conservation policies’ , focuses on the analysis of the risk caused by the making of auto-photographs in museum spaces, as well ...
Learning from failures in an emblematic building in Valencia, Spain

Adam, Jose M; Buitrago, Manuel (Elsevier, 2018)

[EN] On many occasions advances have been made in science and engineering thanks to the knowledge gained from failures. In the particular case of structural engineering, the study of actual failures makes it possible to ...
Learning from RC building structures damaged by the earthquake in Lorca, Spain, in 2011

Ruiz Pinilla, Joaquín Guillermo; Adam Martínez, José Miguel; Pérez-Cárcel, Rodrigo; YUSTE, J.; Moragues, Juan J. (Elsevier, 2016)

In May 2011, the city of Lorca, in Spain, suffered an earthquake of magnitude Mw = 5.1. Even though the intensity was not particularly high, as the epicentre was only a few kilometres away from the city severe damage was ...
Mechanical properties of citrus and impact damage under different storage conditions

Ortiz Sánchez, María Coral; Torregrosa, A. (American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers I, 2014)

[EN] Mechanical handling of fresh-market citrus is restricted by damage susceptibility. The objective of this research study was to determine the effect of variety and storage conditions on the resistance of citrus to ...
Modelo de una osteona de hueso cortical mediante elementos finitos incorporando elementos cohesivos

Atucha Alegría, Joseba (2016-03-11)

[EN] In this Máster Thesis an osteon extracted from an electronic microscope image of a sheep tibia cortical bone is modelled using the finite element method. The model is composed by all the compact bone parts, such as ...
Preliminary study on short-term sulphate attack evaluation by nonlinear impact resonance acoustic spectroscopy technique

Genovés Gómez, Vicente; Soriano Martínez, Lourdes; Borrachero Rosado, María Victoria; Eiras Fernández, Jesús Nuño; Paya Bernabeu, Jorge Juan (Elsevier, 2015-03)

The scope of this paper is to study the sulphate attack on concrete with new testing methods based on vibrational spectroscopy with mechanical waves. These are based on Non-linear Impact Resonance Acoustic Spectroscopy ...
Structural system identification of cable-stayed bridges with observability techniques

Lozano Galant, José Antonio; Nogal, María; Payá Zaforteza, Ignacio Javier; Turmo Coderque, José (Taylor & Francis (Routledge): STM, Behavioural Science and Public Health Titles, 2014)

Cable-stayed bridges are highly statically redundant, light and flexible structures. This complexity highlights the role of the structural system identification (SSI) method in the calibration of the actual properties of ...
