A block-based variational elasto-damage model for masonry analysis inspired from granular micromechanics: Preliminary study
(Elsevier, 2021)Acceso restringidoWe develop a new block-based elasto-damage model for describing masonry structures. The constitutive elastic and damage behavioural laws used within the proposed approach are inspired from those employed in the recent ... -
A methodology for embedding research competencies in an undergraduate civil engineering program
(Tempus Publications, 2021)Acceso restringidoResearch and its relationship with undergraduate education plays a decisive role in the training of new engineering professionals with a greater affinity for basic and applied research as a fundamental tool in their ... -
Geo-environmental parametric 3D models of SARS-CoV-2 virus circulation in hospital ventilation systems
(Elsevier, 2022)Acceso abiertoAdsorption is a unit operation widely used for the tertiary treatment of the most diverse effluents, whose mechanism is based on removing recalcitrant compounds from the organic and inorganic origin. In this process, ... -
A Comparative Analysis of Production Metrics across VDC Implementations
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2022)Acceso restringidoProduction metrics (PM) are important yardsticks for AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) teams to determine whether their projects are on track. This paper reports on research that looked for empirical evidence ... -
A Methodology for Embedding Building Information Modelling (BIM) in an Undergraduate Civil Engineering Program
(MDPI, 2022)Acceso abiertoUndergraduate 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 abiertoCompressive 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. ... -
Modeling of Settlement and bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations in Overconsolidated Clays
(Taiwan Geotechnical Society, 2022)Acceso restringidoThis 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 ... -
Dataset of manually classified images obtained from a construction site
(Elsevier, 2022)Acceso abiertoA manually classified dataset of images obtained by four static cameras located around a construction site is presented. Eight object classes, typically found in a construction environment, were considered. The dataset ... -
High pressure effect in the near-infrared emission of Nd3+-doped alkali silicate glasses
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Acceso restringidoThe 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 ... -
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 abiertoArchaeological 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 ... -
Exploiting HBIM for Historical Mud Architecture: The Huaca Arco Iris in Chan Chan (Peru)
(MDPI, 2022)Acceso abiertoThe construction technique of raw earth, which has always been in use in most of the world, has left large monuments or architectural complexes to cultural heritage that need special attention due to the notable vulnerability ... -
