Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya
La Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Barcelona Tech (UPC) és una institució pública de recerca i d'educació superior en els àmbits de l'enginyeria, l'arquitectura i les ciències.
L’activitat dels seus campus i centres fan de la UPC un punt de referència i, en complicitat amb el teixit productiu, són agent i motor de canvi econòmic i social, en posar en valor la recerca bàsica i aplicada i transferir tecnologia i coneixement a la societat.
Els investigadors i investigadores de la UPC treballen des dels laboratoris i centres de recerca per augmentar la producció científica, valoritzar-la socialment a través de la transferència de resultats i continuar liderant projectes internacionals d’excel·lència, ja sigui a partir d’iniciatives pròpies o en col·laboració amb altres centres de recerca i universitats d’arreu del món.

(English) Currently, the two most raw material consumer industries are civil engineering and the pulp and paper industry. Meanwhile, these sectors face severe criticism due to their environmental impact. Additionally, by ...
(English) Unfavorable and extreme climate events such as drought and heat stress heavily impacts the agriculture sector and food security globally, and the impact of these climate hazards is expected to increase over the ...
(English) Marine heterotrophic flagellates (HF) are very small (2-5 µm) unpigmented protists that are dominant bacterial grazers in the ocean, where they link the transfer of carbon from bacterial cells to higher trophic ...
(English) Axial forces in columns of moment-resisting frames (MRF) have a paramount role for the seismic performance of these structural systems. Nonetheless, there are significant gaps in the literature entailing the ...
(English) During the lifetime of long-span bridges, the traffic conditions are affected by the surroundings and will typically vary and also unpredictably change. In this thesis, a prior site-specific traffic load spatial ...
(English) The exponential growth of world population is leading to a high demand of food products and, consequently, to the development of intensive agricultural and livestock systems. In this sense, synthetic fertilizers ...
(English) Atmospheric mineral dust is composed of a variety of mineral particles exhibiting distinct composition, shape, and size. The wide range of diameters exhibited by dust particles, spanning more than three orders ...
(English) This thesis investigates the response of carbon and stainless steel frames in fire, and proposes new and more efficient approaches for their design. The investigation is mainly focused on one bay frames comprised ...
(English) A comprehensive evaluation of various industrial and urban by-products was conducted to determine their potential as precursors for alkali-activated materials (AAM) in Spain. Over 15 by-products were identified ...
(English) This thesis records the evolution of the container throughput dynamics of the European port system from 2001-2020, analyses the dynamics of the European container port hierarchy with methodologies that have not ...
(English) The Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) is a mathematical framework belonging to the Model Order Reduction (MOR) class of techniques. To the best of the author's knowledge, this methodology has not been applied ...
(English) Groundwater is now under high stress levels and its quality and quantity arise as one of the most interesting and necessary topics our community should address. This doctoral thesis is focused on the quality of ...
(English) The steel-concrete composite structural solution has been widely applied in the execution of simply supported bridges since the merits of concrete compressive strength and steel tensile strength can be efficiently ...
(English) The thesis presents part of an ongoing nvestigation on the Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) behaviour and cracking of deformable unsaturated soils undergoing cycles of drying and wetting. An experimental approach ...
(English) This thesis proposes to determine a damaged structure using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of modal frequency variation of sorne damaged and undamaged configurations. The estimators used are the accumulated ...
(English) The most common composite materials for strengthening building structures are divided into two dif ferent types based on the matrix’s composition, organics (polymers) or inorganics (cement, lime). The hybrid ...
(English) When analyzing structures for seismic design and performance assessment purposes, it has been common to assume that the ground motions or their equivalent representations correspond to that of the free-field ...
(English) Stainless steel is one of the most promising construction materials due to its long service life, low maintenance requirements, excellent mechanical properties and high residual value. Nevertheless, for an efficient ...
(English) Performance-based design (PBD) is a philosophy for structural design that puts emphasis on the realistic estimation of the structural behaviour and its relationship with the objectives of the final user, or ...
