Advances in the development of the discrete element method for excavation processes

Labra, C. A. (Carlos Andrés) (Date of defense: 2012-07-19)

Modelling of granular materials, soils and rocks has been a challenging topic of investigation for decades. Classical continuum mechanics has been used to idealize soils and rocks, and numerical solution techniques such ...

Analysis of unreinforced and TRM-strengthened brick masonry walls subjected to eccentric axial load

Bernat Masó, Ernest (Date of defense: 2014-02-07)

A significant number of buildings are supported by load-bearing masonry walls. The preservation of these worldwide used structures is a sustainable alternative. However, there is little research about the structural response ...

Análisis beneficio costo probabilista de medidas de mitigación del riesgo por sismo

Mora Cuevas, Miguel Genaro (Date of defense: 2016-02-02)

In the situation to make decisions about which risk mitigation measures -RMM- to implement and the performance level required, arises the need for a quantitative analysis of benefits that may be obtained as well as the ...

Análisis del comportamiento frente acciones cíclicas de muros de mampostería reforzados con materiales compuestos de matriz inorgánica y tejidos de fibras vegetales

Mercedes Cedeño, Luis Enrique (Date of defense: 2019-10-04)

In order to pursue sustainable objectives in the construction industry, a new composite material using vegetal fabric coated with resin and embedded into mortar was developed, characterized and applied on masonry walls. ...

De Gaudí a Miralles : cent anys d'estructura metàl.lica a Barcelona

Pons Poblet, Josep Maria (Date of defense: 2014-09-16)

The present project is aimed to analyze the steel structure from an evolutionary point of view. The study¿s context has been the 20th century on the Catalan capital city in order to see how the historical, normative and ...

Estudio de arcos estructurales obtenidos por embutición a partir de paneles nervados conformados en frío

Casariego Vales, Pedro (Date of defense: 2014-07-08)

Since a few decades ago, the cold-formed steel industry has developed a press-forming procedure to bend trapezoidal commercial steel sheeting into an arched shape. The main quality of these arches is to be self-supporting, ...

Estudio del comportamiento mecánico de vigas de hormigón armado reforzadas a flexión y a cortante con materiales compuestos de matriz cementítica

Escrig Pérez, Christian (Date of defense: 2015-10-02)

The global tendency to apply sustainability criteria in most of productive fields, as well as, the limited durability and the pathologies that suffer the reinforced concrete elements, are aspects that directly affect the ...

Modelización numérica del comportamiento constitutivo del daño local y global y su correlación con la evolución de las frecuencias naturales en estructuras de hormigón reforzado

Paredes López, Jairo-Andrés (Date of defense: 2013-11-11)

Esta tesis surge de la necesidad de establecer un método racional y práctico para identificar, a través del cambio de las frecuencias naturales , el daño en estructuras de hormigón armado. Por lo que se desarrolla un nuevo ...

Multifield-based modeling of material failure in high performance reinforced cementitious composites

Mora, D. F. (Diego Fernando) (Date of defense: 2013-04-26)

Cementitious materials such as mortar or concrete are brittle and have an inherent weakness in resisting tensile stresses. The addition of discontinuous fibers to such matrices leads to a dramatic improvement in their ...

Multiscale numerical modelling of microstructured reinforced composites

Otero Gruer, Fermin (Date of defense: 2016-02-09)

Most of the existing materials around us can be considered composite materials, since they are composed by several phases or components at certain spatial scale. The physical and chemical properties of composites, as occurs ...

Nonlinear Analysis of Orthotropic Membrane and Shell Structures Including Fluid-Structure Interaction.

Valdés Vázquez, Jesús Gerardo (Date of defense: 2007-10-18)

Problemas de interacciónn fluido-estructura representan hoy en día un gran desafío en diferentes áreas de ingeniería y ciencias aplicadas. Dentro de las aplicaciones en ingeniería civil, el flujo del viento y los movimientos ...

Numerical calculation model for the global analysis of concrete structures with masonry walls

Escudero Torres, Cuauhtémoc (Date of defense: 2015-07-13)

The numerical simulation in the field of civil engineering, while widely used in structural design, has not benefited from the full potential offered by new technologies for the analysis and design of composite materials ...

Riesgo sísmico de edificaciones en términos de pérdidas económicas mediante integración de costos de reparación de componentes

Yamin Lacouture, Luis Eduardo (Date of defense: 2016-01-28)

The probabilistic seismic risk assessment in terms of economic losses for building portfolios aims at the estimation of the probability distribution functions of losses. This can be done for a specific seismic event ...
