Collision between adjoining buildings is relevant, since the huge impact forces significantly modify the buildings dynamic behaviour. The separation required by the regulations avoids pounding; however, even in recent ...
The main objective of this thesis is the probabilistic assessment of the expected seismic damage in steel buildings located in Mexico City. Although a deterministic analysis is performed both, seismic actions and buildings, ...
The study of surface geology by means of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) can provide information about abrupt lateral changes in the terrain. The location ofthese changes is very useful in seismic nanozonation studies, since ...
In the present work a probabilistic methodology to estimate the seismic risk of buildings in urban areas is proposed. The seismic risk obtained through this methodology is expressed in terms of annual probabilities of ...
Currently, there are very few programs specialized in seismic analysis of unreinforced masonry buildings. Most studies have focused on the seismic behavior of the walls or (in a 3D level) have not integrated the flexibility ...
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 ...
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, and those that are ...
(Català) A la tecnologia proposada, els elements de fusta s'estableixen de qualsevol manera tradicional o innovadora (per exemple, entramat lleuger o pesat, CLT) i els elements d'acer s'instal·len com a exoestructura. ...
This thesis is devoted to present some novel techniques in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). SHM is a developing field that tries to monitor structures to make sure that they remain in their desired condition to avoid ...
A number of mid-height steel buildings have been erected recently in Bogotá. Their seismic risk might be high, given the new microzonation of Bogotá and the lack of comprehensive previous studies; noticeably, the response ...
In this study it was assessed the seismic behavior of framed buildings with composite structure of steel and reinforced concrete (RC) in a specific configuration formed with lower levels with RC (primary structure) and ...
