Risk associated with landslides of natural or man-made origin depends on the prediction of the post-failure behaviour of the mobilized mass. Numerical models capable of integrating the landslide geometry ...
Ávila Haro, Jorge Arturo (Fecha de defensa: 2021-07-01)
Despite the fact that masonry is one of the oldest and most used building materials, the number of existing studies and experimental data, as well as the applicability of its results (i.e. extrapolation), ...

The development of efficient algorithms to understand implosion dynamics presents a number of challenges. The foremost challenge is to efficiently represent the coupled compressible fluid dynamics of ...
Piscal Arévalo, Carlos Mario (Fecha de defensa: 2018-10-22)
An important percentage of Colombian population is located in medium-to-high seismicity zones (NSR-10, 2010). Therefore, it is important to protect the buildings, principally the highly crowded ones, ...

Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) has proven to be a suitable material for statically indeterminate elements. The FRC column-supported flat slabs with partial or even total substitution of reinforcing ...
Giorgiani, Giorgio (Fecha de defensa: 2013-04-02)
This PhD thesis proposes a p-adaptive technique for the Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin method (HDG). The HDG method is a novel discontinuous Galerkin method (DG) with interesting characteristics. ...
Zhang, Ningning (Fecha de defensa: 2020-01-20)
This thesis explores the potential of models based on the discrete element method (DEM) to study dynamic probing of granular materials, considering realistic particle-scale properties. The virtual ...
