[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 ...
Gil Benso, Enrique; Gómez-Martínez, Fernando; Mas Tomas, Maria De Los Angeles; Vercher Sanchis, José; Lerma Elvira, Carlos; López, Jorge(Trans Tech Publications, 2019-01-25)
[EN] A low-cost system for the monitoring of strains in simple physical models within the field
of Structural Engineering is presented, calibrated and discussed. It is based on Internet of Things
and has reasonable accurate. ...
Bonet Senach, José Luís; Romero, Manuel L.; Miguel Sosa, Pedro(Elsevier, 2011-03)
Most of the design codes (ACI-318-2008 and Euro Code-2-2004) propose the moment magnifier method in order to take into account the second order effect to design slender reinforced concrete columns. The accuracy of this ...
BARRERA PUERTO, ANGELA; Bonet Senach, José Luís; Romero, Manuel L.; Miguel Sosa, Pedro(Elsevier, 2011-12)
The use of high strength concrete (HSC) in columns has become more frequent since a substantial reduction of the cross-section is obtained, meaning that slenderness increases for the same axial load and length, producing ...
Ruiz Pinilla, Joaquín Guillermo; Pallarés Rubio, Francisco Javier; Giménez Carbó, Ester; Calderón García, Pedro Antonio(Elsevier, 2014)
This paper presents an experimental program designed to determine the behaviour of steel jacketing used as a seismic strengthening system for reinforced concrete frame structures. Tests were carried out on a total of 20 ...
Pastor Soriano, José Vicente; Bermúdez, Vicente; García Oliver, José María; Ramírez Hernández, José Gustavo(Elsevier, 2011-09)
Glow plugs are currently the most employed solution to promote ignition in light-duty diesel engines during low temperature cold start. Improved knowledge about the mechanisms that control ignition and flame development ...
Suárez, A.; Tobar, M. J.; Yañez, A.; Pérez, I; Sampedro, Jesús; Amigó Borrás, Vicente; Candel Bou, Juan José(Elsevier, 2011)
[EN] The low density, excellent high temperature mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance of titanium and its alloys have led to a diversified range of successful applications. As a consequence, there is a demand ...
[EN] Intermittent water supply (IWS) operations frequently involve water filling and emptying cycles that are strongly influenced by air-water interaction. Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) software has been recently ...
Ruiz-Pinilla, Joaquin G.; Cladera, Antoni; Pallarés Rubio, Francisco Javier; Calderón García, Pedro Antonio; Adam, Jose M(Elsevier, 2021-09-27)
[EN] Beam-column joints suffer intense damage from seismic events and are the cause of many buildings collapsing. These zones present complex behaviour under cyclic loads, including tensile-compression cycles, which make ...
Buitrago, Manuel; Bertolesi, Elisa; Calderón García, Pedro Antonio; Adam, Jose M(Elsevier, 2021-02)
[EN] This study aimed to experimentally analyse the robustness of riveted steel bridges based on truss-type structures and to define practical recommendations for early detection of local failures before they cause progressive ...
Hernández Figueirido, David; Romero, Manuel L.; Bonet Senach, José Luís; Montalva Subirats, José Miguel(Elsevier, 2012-01)
The paper describes 36 experimental tests conducted on rectangular and square tubular columns filled with normal and high strength concrete and subjected to a non-constant bending moment distribution with respect to the ...
