A model for identifying owner's needs in the building life cycle

ALSHUBBAK, ALI; Pellicer, Eugenio; Catalá Alís, Joaquín; Teixeira, Jose M. (Taylor &amp; Francis: STM, Behavioural Science and Public Health Titles, 2015-11)

Building life cycle is a process which covers not only the construction phase but also the feasibility, the design and the operation phases. Identifying the owner s needs in all phases of this process is of paramount ...
A molecular structural mechanics model applied to the static behavior of single-walled carbon nanotubes: New general formulation

Merli Gisbert, Rafael; Lazaro, Carlos; Monleón Cremades, Salvador; Domingo Cabo, Alberto (Elsevier, 2013-10)

A new general formulation for the mechanical behavior of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes is presented. Carbon atoms are located at the nodes of an hexagonal honeycomb lattice wrapped into a cylinder. They are linked by ...
A new geopolymeric binder from hydrated-carbonated cement

Paya Bernabeu, Jorge Juan; Borrachero Rosado, María Victoria; Monzó Balbuena, José Mª; Soriano Martínez, Lourdes; Mitsuuchi Tashima, Mauro (Elsevier, 2012-05)
