Tsiolakis, Vasileios (Data de defensa: 2020-01-31)
The present thesis explores the viability of the proper generalised decomposition (PGD) as a tool for parametric studies in a daily industrial environment. Starting from the equations modelling incompressible flows, the ...
Weber, Rodrigo Carreira (Data de defensa: 2019-12-13)
This thesis analyzes the hydro-mechanical behavior under a generalized stress state of a compacted mixture of sand (30%) and clayey (70%) at a low density. The experimental study focuses on the analysis of shear strength ...
Alvarado de Menéndez, Clara Elena (Data de defensa: 2017-05-18)
Rockfill is a coarse material widely used in geotechnical works such as earth-fill dams (shoulders and toe drains), as well as in embankments and well-graded quarry materials for railway infrastructures. These structures ...
Lu, Xufei (Data de defensa: 2022-07-15)
The objectives of this thesis are (i) to understand the thermal, metallurgical and mechanical behavior during AM, (ii) to shed light on the generation of residual stresses and the stress-induced deformations and cracks, ...
Petracca, Massimo (Data de defensa: 2016-04-13)
Masonry is an ancient building material that has been used throughout the history, and it is still used nowadays. Masonry constitutes the main building technique adopted in historical constructions, and a deep understanding ...
Caicedo Silva, Manuel Alejandro (Data de defensa: 2017-02-24)
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, the problem of the ...
Garikapati, Hasini (Data de defensa: 2020-03-28)
Uncertainty quantification is important in assessing and predicting the performance of complex engineering systems and processes, especially in the absence of adequate experimental or real-world data. With the increase ...
Belda Ferrín, Guillem (Data de defensa: 2022-10-28)
[English] In n-dimensional adaptive applications, conformal simplicial meshes must be lo cally modified. One systematic local modification is to bisect the prescribed simplices while surrounding simplices are bisected ...
Cruz Romero, Janill Marie de la (Data de defensa: 2020-07-27)
The use of the fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) as a construction material has expanded beyond the traditional applications since the publication of design codes and structural guidelines. Fibre reinforced concrete for ...
Corbella Vidal, Clara (Data de defensa: 2017-11-10)
Horizontal Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetlands (HSSF CWs) are natural wastewater treatment systems showing a marked redox gradient between the surface of the system and the bottom zone of the treatment bed. Therefore, ...
Flores Rosell, Laura (Data de defensa: 2021-10-01)
The wine industry generates large volumes of wastewater originating from various processes and operations carried out during wine production. Winery wastewater (WWW) is characterized by highly variable flows and loadings. ...
Hartl, Marco (Data de defensa: 2020-07-03)
The objective of this work was the improvement and control of wastewater treatment using constructed wetlands operated as Microbial Fuel Cells (CW-MFCs) and Microbial Electrolysis Cells (CW-MECs). For this purpose, eight ...
Madrid Argomedo, Manuel Ricardo (Data de defensa: 2021-07-21)
The design and construction of vertical caisson breakwaters on soft soils represents a significant challenge for the engineering of marine structures. Past experience reveals that this type of structures is sometimes prone ...
Aznar Alemany, Òscar (Data de defensa: 2017-11-20)
During the last couple of decades the demand for good quality water in sufficient quantity has increased. The administration is now aware that water is not a commercial product; that hydrological management needs to be ...
Martín Cañizares, María del Pilar (Data de defensa: 2015-11-16)
