A higher-order equation for modeling strand bond in pretensioned concrete beams

Ramirez-Garcia, Alberto T.; Dang, Canh N.; Hale, W. Micah; Martí Vargas, José Rocío (Elsevier, 2017)

[EN] In pretensioned concrete members, the bond between prestressing strands and concrete in the transfer zone is necessary to ensure the two materials can work as a composite material. This study develops a computer program ...
A Hybrid k-Means Cuckoo Search Algorithm Applied to the Counterfort Retaining Walls Problem

García, José; Yepes, V.; Martí Albiñana, José Vicente (MDPI AG, 2020-04)

[EN] The counterfort retaining wall is one of the most frequent structures used in civil engineering. In this structure, optimization of cost and CO2 emissions are important. The first is relevant in the competitiveness ...
A macroeconomic regression analysis of the European construction industry

Pellicer Armiñana, Teresa María; Pellicer Armiñana, Eugenio; Eaton, David (Emerald, 2009)
