Evaluation of optimal sensor placement algorithms for the Structural Health Monitoring of architectural heritage. Application to the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Buenavista (Seville, Spain)
(Elsevier, 2020-01-01)
In recent years, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) based on Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) and damage detection tools has become a popular non-destructive solution to assess the real-time integrity of any kind of ...

A novel feature selection approach based on tree models for evaluating the punching shear capacity of steel fiber-reinforced concrete flat slabs
(MDPI, 2020-09-03)
When designing flat slabs made of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC), it is very important to predict their punching shear capacity accurately. The use of machine learning seems to be a great way to improve the accuracy ...

Potential use of sugar cane bagasse ash as sand replacement for durable concrete
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
The increasing urban development, led by concrete, requires a higher availability of materials and energy, and it will be responsible for a high waste generation. To face the exploitation of natural resources, the use of ...

Assessment of integrated solutions for the combined energy efficiency improvement and seismic strengthening of existing URM buildings
(MDPI, 2022-08-20)
The European building stock is an aging infrastructure, mainly built prior to building codes. Furthermore, 65% of these buildings are located in seismic regions, which need to be both energetic and seismically retrofitted ...

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 ...

Transiciones necesarias hacia entornos metropolitanos resilientes a través de la biorregión
(CSIC, 2023)
El cambio climático, así como la pérdida de ecosistemas y de biodiversidad, constituyen unas de las principales consecuencias del desequilibrio socio-ecológico que se viene produciendo en el Antropoceno. Sus nocivas ...

Analysing the life index of diamond cutting tools for marble building stones based on laboratory and field investigations
(Springer, 2021-07-28)
Cutting tool wear constitutes one of the principal parameters in the processing cost of building stone. The life index of the cutting tool is obtained by evaluating the wear of diamond segments in the processing plants and ...

Indoor environmental quality in social housing with elderly occupants in Spain: Measurement results and retrofit opportunities
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
Elderly people usually spend more than 80% of their daily lives in apartments that mostly belong to obsolete buildings with reduced spaces and inadequate indoor environmental quality, which may lead to tiredness and other ...

Numerical modelling for the seismic assessment of complex masonry heritage buildings: the case study of the Giralda tower
(Springer, 2023-06-02)
Existing heritage buildings can be especially vulnerable to earthquakes. They were designed only considering gravity loads and some of them are located in earthquake prone areas, such as the southwestern Iberian Peninsula. ...

Fast seismic assessment of built urban areas with the accuracy of mechanical methods using a feedforward neural network
(MDPI, 2022)
Capacity curves obtained from nonlinear static analyses are widely used to perform seismic assessments of structures as an alternative to dynamic analysis. This paper presents a novel ‘en masse’ method to assess the seismic ...
