This paper presents a new simplified procedure for estimating loads on slabs and shoring during the construction of multistorey buildings. The new procedure takes into account the actual stiffness of the shoring and for ...

This paper describes a full-scale test on a building constructed so as to enable study of the transmission of loads between slabs and shores during the processes of shoring and striking. The experimental model consisted ...

Among the different methods of strengthening RC columns, steel caging is one of the most extensively used, for square or rectangular cross-section columns. Few studies have been carried out on steel caging and most of these ...

[ES] Durante las últimas décadas el incremento de construcciones con elementos de hormigón prefabricado mediante sistemas marcos o tipo esqueleto han sido muy significativo, pero a la vez estas estructuras estuvieron ...

[ES] Se ha analizado el comportamiento a altas temperaturas de los sensores de fibra óptica regenerados (RFBG) en base a la comparación de los resultados obtenidos por termopares y los resultados predichos por los modelos ...

The steel caging technique is used to strengthen RC columns all over the world, as it has been shown to be effective, economical and easy to apply. Most studies carried out to date on this strengthening technique have ...

[EN] Strain is a key parameter in laboratory and bridge load testing. The selection of a strain sensor depends on several factors, including the aim of the test and the specimen material. The application of the right sensor ...

[EN] This paper contains a summary of the experience obtained by ICITECH's researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de València in the last thirty years of investigating reinforced concrete (RC) building structures under ...

[EN] The importance of the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing structures has grown significantly in recent years. This accompanied by a very important decrease in the investments in the new construction, again after ...

[EN] To date, most common concrete structure is the residential multi-story buildings. Construction process for them usually consists on erecting temporary structures which support fresh concrete weight until it has cured ...
