Experimental Research on the Influence of Polypropylene Macrofiber Thickness in Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Mechanical Strengths
(Springer, 2023)
Acceso restringido
Herein, the effects of polypropylene fiber thickness on the compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength or modulus of rupture of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PPFRC) were investigated. ...
VDC framework proposal for curtain wall construction process optimization
(CRC Press, 2023)
Acceso restringido
A building is made up of structural and non-structural elements. Among these are the curtain wall systems. The curtain walls are glazed elements that can cover the building façade entirely and provide thermal and enclosure ...
Artificial Intelligence Applied to the Control and Monitoring of Construction Site Personnel
(Springer, 2023)
Acceso restringido
Many countries are working towards gradually lifting restrictions generated by the COVID-19 virus as post-quarantine measures. The construction industry has had to adapt to new forms of work with economic and physical ...
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 ...
Finite Element Model for End-Plate Beam-to-Column Connections Under Bending and Axial Forces
(Springer, 2023)
Acceso restringido
The assessment of steel beam-to-column connections is a fundamental piece in the design process of steel structures according to the guidelines established by standards such as Eurocode 3—Part 1.8 and ANSI/AISC 358-16. In ...
High pressure effect in the near-infrared emission of Nd3+-doped alkali silicate glasses
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Acceso restringido
The effect of high pressure (7.7 GPa) densification on the absorption and near-infrared emission of Nd-doped lithium, sodium and potassium disilicate glasses was investigated. Judd-Ofelt parameters O¿ (¿ = 2, 4 and 6) were ...
Modeling of Settlement and bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations in Overconsolidated Clays
(Taiwan Geotechnical Society, 2022)
Acceso restringido
This paper focuses on the characterization of the fine-grained soils of Pucallpa and on theoretical and numerical analyses of their bearing capacity. A review of data related with field investigation and laboratory testing ...
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. ...
Solutions and limitations of the geomatic survey of an archaeological site in hard to access areas with a latest generation smartphone: the example of the Intihuatana stone in Machu Picchu (Peru)
(International Measurement Confederation, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Archaeological remains need to be geometrically surveyed and set in absolute reference systems in order to allow a "virtual visit" and to create "digital twins" useful in case of deterioration for proper restoration. Some ...
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 ...
