Optimal ductility enhancement of RC framed buildings considering different non-invasive retrofitting techniques
(Elsevier, 2021-09-01)
Existing RC framed buildings lack significant ductility, especially when they have been built with pre-code criteria. Improving their ductile capacity can help to prevent them from the brittle collapse mechanism and to ...

A comparative analysis between the Spanish and Portuguese seismic codes: application to a border RC Primary School
(David Publishing, 2020)
The Iberian Peninsula is close to the Eurasia-Africa plate boundary resulting in a considerable seismic hazard. In fact, the southwestern Iberian Peninsula is affected by far away earthquakes of long-return period with ...

Analysis of the main geometrical characteristics that affect the bonding of ribs in rebars thinly covered to repair masonry structures
(Elsevier, 2021-11-01)
The use of stainless steel rebars in the repair of masonry structures is widespread and has traditionally produced excellent results. In these cases, rebars usually present diameters of below 8 mm covered with thin layers ...

Impact of radiative cooling on the energy performance of courtyards in Mediterranean climate
(Springer, 2024-08-08)
Radiative cooling has proven to be a useful tool to address the problems of lack of comfort and excessive energy consumption in situations of high temperatures, overheating and heat waves. Likewise, incorporating courtyards ...
