The performance of existing buildings is receiving increased concern due to the need to renovate the aging building stock and provide better quality of life for end users. The conservation state of ...
This thesis focuses on the numerical modeling of fracture and its propagation in heterogeneous materials by means of hierarchical multiscale models based on the FE2 method, addressing at the same time, ...
Microbes form intricate and intimate relationships with most animals and plants, many of which are crucial for host development, health and functioning. Microbe--host symbiotic associations are poorly ...
This thesis presents an experimental approach on the subject of cracking in soils due to changes in environmental conditions, where research is mainly directed to the soil-air interface and the effect ...
Simulations of incompressible flows are performed on a daily basis to solve problems of practical and industrial interest in several fields of engineering, including automotive, aeronautical, mechanical ...
This thesis discusses the development of a new methodology for 3D printing of TiO2 nanoparticles and its applications in air purification and hydrogen production. A dosage has been obtained that allows ...
We propose to develop, build and validate a new Concept of Bridge composed of Inflatable Beams, Lightweight, Modular and Portable (PVH-LMP) for surface transport vehicles, which uses pressurized air-filled ...
El análisis de problemas Termo-Hidro-Mecánicos (THM) en medios de baja permeabilidad es un problema complejo en el cual confluyen diversos factores. Esta Tesis está orientada principalmente al estudio ...
The hydro-mechanical behaviour of MX80 bentonite pellet-based mixture (80% high-density pellets in dry mass and crushed granular powder) has been explored in this thesis within the context of the French ...
The study of hydro-mechanical (HM) coupled problems in different areas of civil, environmental or petroleum engineering is common in literature, but the effect of a thermal field by means of the heat ...
