(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 ...
López-Dóriga Sandoval, Uxía (Fecha de defensa: 2020-12-18)
Coastal areas concentrate very high socio-economic and natural values, which will be highly threatened by climate change, particularly by sea-level rise (SLR). Given the intrinsic characteristics of this zone, appropriate ...
Garola, Àlvar (Fecha de defensa: 2019-01-22)
This doctoral thesis analyzes the impact of the creation and implementation of transport infrastructures, specifically high-capacity road axes, on the territory and the welfare of the population with a marginal approach: ...
Monforte Vila, Lluís (Fecha de defensa: 2018-11-05)
This thesis develops a numerical technique in which the Particle Finite Element method is applied to simulate solid intrusion problems in Geotechnical Engineering. The thesis describes the numerical development work that ...

This thesis aims to studythe capacities and limitations of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to support inspection, assessment, maintenance and rehabilitation tasks, helping to earlydetection and evaluation ofpathologies in ...
Lops, Camilla (Fecha de defensa: 2020-12-15)
European building stock is characterised by low energy efficiency and high structural vulnerability with respect to earthquakes, especially in seismic prone areas like Italy. In fact, the vast majority of buildings has ...
Leon Medina, Jersson Xavier (Fecha de defensa: 2023-10-06)
(English) In the last years, the condition monitoring of structures has evolved and improved using technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensor networks, and industry 4.0 because of the multiple advantages these ...
Borralleras Mas, Pere (Fecha de defensa: 2019-11-15)
The presence of clays in the sands used for concrete production interferes with the development of the fluidity of concrete, producing an instantaneous slump loss just after batching and the premature loss of fluidity. ...
Peñalver Rojo, Domingo (Fecha de defensa: 2019-05-31)
Investments in major transport infrastructure projects involve a significant mobilisation of economic resources both for construction and operation. In these projects, to assess the efficiency of the resources used, ...
Segura Domingo, Jorge (Fecha de defensa: 2020-12-22)
Masonry has been used for millennia to build all sort of constructions. As a result, a significant part of the building stock around the world is made of masonry. In the need of structural assessment, structural analysis ...
Solé Marí, Guillem (Fecha de defensa: 2020-03-13)
Fluid flow, solute transport, and chemical reactions in porous media are highly relevant for multiple applications and in several fields of knowledge. Aquifers are a typical example of porous media, but many others exist, ...
Palau Berastegui, Rosa Maria (Fecha de defensa: 2021-09-23)
Rainfall triggered shallow slides and debris flows constitute a significant hazard that causes substantial economic losses and fatalities worldwide. Regional-scale risk mitigation for these processes is challenging. ...
Alvarado Bueno, Mauricio (Fecha de defensa: 2018-04-23)
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 and its evolution, ...
Salazar Guiral, Guillem (Fecha de defensa: 2019-02-15)
The dark ocean contains about 70% of the ocean’s microbial cells and 60% of its heterotrophic activity, which is mainly fueled by the flux of organic particles produced in the surface ocean and exported to the bathypelagic ...
