The hydro-mechanical behaviour of soils during freezing and thawing is a coupled multi-physics process that has important practical applications. To cite but a few examples, on artificial ground freezing –to provide ...
Espriu, Alexandra (Fecha de defensa: 2017-07-17)
Nowadays nuclear power plants (NPP) and dedicated facilities are storing the spent nuclear fuel (SNF). In the case of Spain, the NPP have enough space in their pools to keep storing the SNF produced from their activity; ...
Mahboob, Amir (Fecha de defensa: 2021-11-30)
Creating sustainability and public infrastructure is a fairly recent subject the engineering community has been debating. Introducing new building materials or introducing new structural designs is a strategy for constructing ...
Fernández Sánchez, Pablo Gonzalo (Fecha de defensa: 2021-12-20)
Reinforced concrete members, especially when subjected to concentrated loads, can fail in shear. This is an undesirable and brittle failure mode preventing the structure from deforming and reaching higher load levels. It ...
Perujo Buxeda, Núria (Fecha de defensa: 2018-07-12)
Infiltration systems are water treatment technologies where water vertically percolates through porous media while several biogeochemical processes occur. Biofilms are the main responsible for those biogeochemical processes ...
Scheiber Pagès, Laura (Fecha de defensa: 2017-06-09)
The natural environment in which we live, is subjected, to a greater or lesser extent, to the pressure of human activity, with water being one of the most sensitive elements. For this reason, aware of this situation, from ...
Hosseini, Seyed Mohammad Amin (Fecha de defensa: 2016-09-30)
Many people lose their homes every year due to natural disasters. One of the major challenges to mollify displaced persons is the provision of adequate post-disaster accommodations, temporary housing (TH) being the most ...
Sadrolodabaee, Payam (Fecha de defensa: 2022-07-11)
Cementitious materials have one of the highest compressive strength-to-weight ratios compared to other construction materials. Nonetheless, both tensile strength capacity and toughness result to be an order of magnitude ...

A system that attempts to find cracks in a RGB picture of a concrete beam, measure the cracks angles and widths; and classify crack patterns in 3 pathologies has been designed and implemented in the MATLAB programming ...
Pérez Carreras, Adrià (Fecha de defensa: 2018-12-04)
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 transport by a fluid ...
Celada Blesa, Ulric (Fecha de defensa: 2019-12-16)
Partially Prestressed Concrete (PPC) is an intermediate design approach between reinforced and totally prestressed concrete, that enables controlled cracks in service phase. Conversely, totally prestressed concrete is ...
