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 ...

Seismic performance comparison between structure-improvement techniques and ground-improvement techniques: Application to a reinforced concrete school building
(WIT Press, 2019)
The seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings has been widely analysed. Most of the solutions proposed are focused on the building’s structure improvement. However, the effects of ground-improvement ...

Determining static elastic modulus of weak sandstone in Andalusian historical constructions from non-destructive tests: San Cristóbal's stone
(Elsevier, 2022-10-01)
This work presents a relationship between static and dynamic elastic moduli for San Cristóbal’s stone, which was used to build some of the most representative historical constructions in Andalusia (Spain) during 15th-18th ...

Seismic behaviour study of primary schools in Algarve and Huelva cities. Case study of three different building technologies
(2019-05)
A project named PERSISTAH (Projetos de Escolas Resilientes aos SISmos no Território do Algarve e de Huelva, in Portuguese) is being developed. It aims to cooperatively assess the seismic vulnerability of primary schools ...

Analysis of the influence of atriums in seismic performance of RC primary school buildings
(Springer, 2022)
Spanish primary school buildings are likely to present a high seismic vulnerability. This is due to two main factors: (a) most of them were built prior to the enforcement of the Spanish seismic codes; (b) the elevated ...

Parametric energy optimization of a ventilated facade with windows in Mediterranean climates
(Elsevier, 2024-06)
Ventilated facades are an effective passive measure to improve the energy performance of buildings in warm and temperate climates such as the Mediterranean. However, although in the Mediterranean sociocultural context the ...

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 ...
