[EN] Up-and-down cyclical displacement of supports-foundations, due for example to the presence of expansive soils, can affect the integrity of a structure and may even lead to its collapse. A recent study carried out at ...
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 macroeconomic regression analysis of the European construction industry

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

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the international construction sector from a macroeconomic point of view through production functions. The aim is to contribute additional knowledge on the European ...
