The performance of existing buildings is receiving increased concern due to the need to renovate the aging building stock and provide better quality of life for end users. The conservation state of ...
Cordero Arias, Josbel Andreina (Fecha de defensa: 2019-09-09)
This thesis presents an experimental approach on the subject of cracking in soils due to changes in environmental conditions, where research is mainly directed to the soil-air interface and the effect ...
Pérez Carreras, Adrià (Fecha de defensa: 2018-12-04)
The study of hydro-mechanical (HM) coupled problems in different areas of civil, environmental or petroleum engineering is common in literature, but the effect of a thermal field by means of the heat ...
Sánchez Cordero, Esteban (Fecha de defensa: 2019-05-31)
This research project focuses on the analysis and prediction of flow structures and sediment transport process in open channels by using three-dimensional numerical models. The numerical study was ...

Mine ventilation is a crucial factor for the sake of underground operations. Not only does it affect efficiency and effectiveness rates, but it also influence the health and safety of the employees. ...
Tapias Camacho, Mauricio Alberto (Fecha de defensa: 2016-12-21)
This thesis presents a study of the mechanical behaviour of coarse-crushable aggregates, using the discrete element method (DEM). A novel DEM model has been developed taking into account particle breakage, ...
Chaparro Sánchez, M. Carme (Fecha de defensa: 2016-03-04)
Cementitious materials are used as barriers in radioactive waste storage. Hence, transport processes in this kind of material are important. The objective of this thesis is to improve the understanding ...
Mirsalehi, Sajjad (Fecha de defensa: 2018-04-30)
This research focusses on an experimental investigation on the hydro-mechanical behaviour of binary ‘all-one’ mixtures. These mixtures –originated from the excavation of selected materials during earthwork ...
Villarraga Díaz, Claudia Juliana (Fecha de defensa: 2018-02-28)
The environmental conditions may play a relevant role in the stability of rock slopes. In fact, weathering can contribute to the reduction of strength of the material, while atmospheric actions may ...
