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.

(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. ...
(English) In this PhD Dissertation the structural performance of buildings with stairs submitted to lateral loads, is investigated. Because of the historical neglect of the interaction effects between the main structure ...
(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 ...
(English) Recent decades have witnessed varying degrees of damage in underground structures, including instances of structural collapse, reported during post-earthquake hazard investigations. Therefore, the research on ...
(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) 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) 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 ...
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 ...
For a few decades, systems for supervising structures have become increasingly irnportant. In origin, the strategies had as a goal only the detection of damages. Furthermore, now monitoring the civil or military structures ...
Wind energy is one ofthe main renewable energies to replace fossil fuels in the generation of electricityworldwide. To enhance and accelerate its implementation at a large scale, it is vital to reduce the costs associated ...
Earthquakes are defined as a "violent shaking of the Earth's crust and mantle, caused by forces acting inside the Earth". In most cases, these forces are caused by an energy release process generated from the contact of ...
The time required to inspect damaged structures after an earthquake has a direct impact on the social and economic consequences of the event, which can be catastrophic. Developing tools to aid the inspection task is of ...
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), are substantially ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Under severe seismic excitation, structural behavior of buildings and other constructions is highly complex. It involves, among other issues, soil-structure interaction, large strains and displacements, damage, plasticity, ...
