Post-Cracking Properties of Concrete Reinforced with Polypropylene Fibers through the Barcelona Test
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Acceso abierto
The Barcelona method was developed as an alternative to other tests for assessing the post-cracking behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete, with the main advantage being that it uses significantly smaller specimens compared ...
Applying Project-Based Learning (PBL) for Teaching Virtual Design Construction (VDC)
(International Association of Online Engineering, 2023)
Acceso abierto
Learning-centered models, which rely on active methodologies such as Project-Based Learning (PBL), should be adopted in undergraduate programs to potentiate the development of collaboration skills within future industry ...
A cost-benefit analysis for the appraisal of social and market prices in the probabilistic seismic risk assessment of building portfolios: A methodology for the evaluation of disaster risk reduction programs
(Elsevier, 2023)
Acceso restringido
A cost-benefit analysis can be a milestone for the probabilistic seismic risk assessment of building portfolios. This approach appraises social, economic, and technical aspects as evaluation criteria, becoming a reliable ...
A Methodology for Embedding Building Information Modelling (BIM) in an Undergraduate Civil Engineering Program
(MDPI, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Undergraduate programs face the permanent challenge of constantly transforming to keep an up-to-date curriculum according to globalization and internationalization processes. In the case of civil engineers, professional ...
Determination of Polypropylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Compressive Strength and Elasticity Modulus via Ultrasonic Pulse Tests
(MDPI, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Compressive strength and elasticity modulus are the main mechanical properties of concrete. The non-destructive ultrasound pulse test can be used to determine these properties without compromising the structure’s integrity. ...
Integrating a LiDAR Sensor in a UAV Platform to Obtain a Georeferenced Point Cloud
(MDPI, 2022)
Acceso abierto
The combination of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors and unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) platforms have garnered considerable interest in recent years because of the wide range
of applications performed through ...
Experimental Volume Incidence Study and the Relationship of Polypropylene Macrofiber Slenderness to the Mechanical Strengths of Fiber-Reinforced Concretes
(MDPI, 2022)
Acceso abierto
An experimental study was conducted to examine the mechanical strengths of concretes with straight high-strength knurled polypropylene macrofibers. Incidences of concrete mechanical strengths were determined for three ...
Effect of lithological and geotechnical characteristics on the generation of debris flows in the arid basin of Mirave, Peru
(Institute for Environmental Research in Hydrographic Basins (IPABHi), 2022)
Acceso abierto
Studies concerning the debris flows in mountain areas are relevant because of their potential negative effects on the human communities and infrastructure in their areas of influence. To advance the understanding of the ...
Prefabricated Reinforcement in Construction Using VDC: Case Study Ovalo Monitor Bridge
(The International Group for Lean Construction, 2022)
Acceso abierto
In construction projects, there may be rework and delays associated with construction processes with a low level of industrialization, resulting from the lack of constructability of the designs. To promote industrialization ...
VDC in Practice: A Preliminary Categorization of Production Metrics reported in Scandinavia and Latin America
(The International Group for Lean Construction, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) teams are increasingly using emerging management methods involving collaboration, lean construction, and digitization for managing projects. Production metrics (PM) are being ...
