Validation of a Hemi-Variational Block-Based Approach to the Modelling of Common In-plane Failures in Masonry Structures
(Springer, 2023)
Acceso restringido
Numerical simulations of several planar failure modes of masonry structures are presented, based on the model and solving code from a recent hemivariational block-based model inspired from granular micromechanics (Tran et ...
Construction Process Optimization of Concrete Structural Elements Using VDC - Case Study (Building)
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2023)
Acceso restringido
The construction industry is an engine of economic and social development; however, it is one of the industries that has grown the least in terms of productivity. Furthermore, it is characterized by inefficiencies that ...
Influence of Synthetic Fibers on the Flexural Properties of Concrete: Prediction of Toughness as a Function of Volume, Slenderness Ratio and Elastic Modulus of Fibers
(MDPI, 2023)
Acceso abierto
The construction industry requires concrete with adequate post-cracking behavior for applications such as tunnels, bridges, and pavements. For this reason, polypropylene macrofibers are used, which are synthetic fibers ...
