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 ...
Influence of Alkali Metal Ions on the Structural and Spectroscopic Properties of Sm3+-Doped Silicate Glasses
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Acceso abierto
In the present work, the influence of alkali ions (Li, Na, K) on the structural and spectroscopic properties of silica glasses doped with Sm3+ was investigated. Infrared and Raman spectroscopy techniques were used to ...
Detection and Evaluation of Construction Cracks through Image Analysis Using Computer Vision
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Acceso abierto
The introduction of artificial intelligence methods and techniques in the construction industry has fostered innovation and constant improvement in the automation of monitoring and control processes at construction sites, ...
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. ...
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 ...
Dataset of manually classified images obtained from a construction site
(Elsevier, 2022)
Acceso abierto
A 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 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 ...
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 ...
