Bortolini, Rafaela (Data de defensa: 2019-02-28)
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 ...
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, ...
Björk, Johannes (Data de defensa: 2016-06-03)
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 ...
Mesa Alcantara, Arisleidy (Data de defensa: 2021-07-02)
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 ...
Pérez Carreras, Adrià (Data 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 ...
Vasconcellos, Ramon Barboza de (Data de defensa: 2021-05-18)
The thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of expansive clays has been extensively studied in the last decades due to the potential use of bentonites as components of engineered barrier systems (EBS) ...
Tapias Camacho, Mauricio Alberto (Data de defensa: 2016-12-21)
This thesis presents a study of the mechanical behaviour of coarse-crushable aggregates, using the discrete element method (DEM). A novel DEM model has been developed taking into account particle breakage, ...
Aparicio Bernat, Francisco Luis (Data de defensa: 2016-09-22)
In the coming decades, global warming will affect the biogeochemical cycles evolution, particularly the carbon cycle. In this context, it is necessary to gain knowledge on the Earth natural mechanisms ...
Guerrero, Elena (Data de defensa: 2017-07-14)
Planktonic cnidarians are those species or their stages in the phylum Cnidaria that spent their life in the water column and therefore, are tightly linked to oceanographic dynamics and water mass ...
Solsona Berga, Alba (Data de defensa: 2019-01-30)
Marine mammals face numerous anthropogenic threats, including fisheries interactions, ocean noise, ship strikes, and marine debris. Monitoring the negative impact on marine mammals through the assessment ...
