Traditionally, the dynamic analysis of Multi degree Systems are based on the study of modal Shapes or energy balances given an established oscillation figure. The expert user of those methods could determine how resonance ...
An unprecedented calculation model for slabs of post-tensioned concrete is proposed, based on the general theory of thin plate analysis, using the finite element method, taking into account the degradation of the most ...
The main objective of this Thesis is to determinate the behaviour of the prestress effect of a fabric structure. On the understanding that the prestress of a fabric structure is a fundamental part of its stability and ...
As has been shown since the beginning of the intervention, either restoration or rehabilitation of the modern movement in buildings with Architectural values with enough importance, raised all kinds of difficulties, often ...
After 150 years from the beginning of the construction of the Eixample of Barcelona. it has become an emblem of the city. In addition to the many urban planning virtues, l'Eixample has a value that is given by the formal ...
The building sector is moving towards new approaches to energy efficient design, which includes not only the improvement of the thermal performance of the building envelope but also the reduction of the embodied energy. ...
Arquitectura y estructura han ido siempre íntimamente ligadas, pero con la aparición del acero y el hormigón surgieron nuevas necesidades formales o estéticas. El Estilo Internacional se inclinó por separar la retícula ...

The lack of housing existing in Spain during post-war period lead Spanish government to implement housing policies with financial support to those projects that meet certain conditions both constructive and cost. Among ...
These thesis will argue about the importance of Dynamic Parametric Architecture versus Static Parametric Architecture. Describing the architectonical and the algorithmic context within which the Emergency Deployable System ...
For the last decades, and especially in last years, light facades have been the greatest exponent of technology and innovation in construction. While they have played the leading role in several conventional buildings, ...
Currently, the intervention in urban excavations with greater dimension and depth is increasing in importance exponentially. The great sensitivity of the overlying buildings to the displacements and tensions produced in ...
The theoretical, technical, and multidisciplinary specificity of the Architectural Restoration education often entails the knowledge fragmentation and makes the student lose the necessary global and complex view of the ...
La fachada ventilada es aquel cerramiento caracterizado por resolver la estanquidad al agua por medio de una cámara drenante continua en todo su plano. Para la definición de dicha cámara se precisan dos hojas que la limiten: ...
During years the hitoric British treatises about construclion have been considered almost exclusively from the point of view of the use of orders and the architectural planning of major houses, palaces and occassionally ...

Concrete-filled tubes have been increasingly used these recent decades thanks to their improved structural behavior, especially under compression.Concrete filling in these sections improves ¡ts compressive strength thanks ...
The Dissertation's main aim is to establish a procedure for the optimization of space grid as a framed tube (spatial mesh) structural typology envelope for tall buildings given the increasing interest in this recent ...
