The dual integrated force method applied to unidirectional composites
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014-04-07)
This paper shows the use of the dual integrated force method (IFMD) in finite elements method and its application to composite materials. This method was developed by S.N. Patnaik in isotropic materials, considering not ...
Textile-reinforced mortar as strengthening material for masonry arches
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09-03)
[EN] Masonry arches are an important part of built heritage that must be preserved. Research and advanced studies of historical masonry structures have progressed slowly in comparison to studies on structures made of other ...
The use of steelmaking slags and fly ash in structural mortars
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The main objective of this work is to produce structural slag mortars of good mechanical strength and workability, while reducing the consumption of Portland clinker, the production of which is a growing source of environmental ...
Self-compacting concrete incorporating electric arc-furnace steelmaking slag as aggregate
(Elsevier, 2016-11-17)
Electric arc-furnace slag (EAFS) is an industrial by-product that can be employed in hydraulic mixes used in the field of construction and civil engineering. The design and preparation of self-compacting mixes with this ...
Sustainable Alternative of Structural Concrete Retaining Tanks
(Emerald Publishing, 2018-05)
The environmental footprint of the construction industry requires the quantification of new developments to appraise their sustainable contribution. Recent developments in relation to the merging of steel fibre reinforced ...
Study of historical developments in the use of fire resistant steels
(Taylor&Francis, 2014-10-29)
This paper presents a review of the most relevant articles on fire-resistant (FR) steels, as part of a research project at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) on the FR properties of steelstructures. An important ...
Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making Tool for Local Governments to Evaluate the Global and Local Sustainability of Transportation Systems in Urban Areas: Case Study
(ASCE, 2017-10-24)
Efficient management of urban transportation systems is a challenge for any local government that wishes to improve public wellbeing and comfort. With that end in mind, this paper proposes a tool for decision making and ...
Microtab design and implementation on a 5MW wind turbine
(MDPI, 2017-05-24)
Microtabs (MT) consist of a small tab placed on the airfoil surface close to the trailing edge and perpendicular to the surface. A study to find the optimal position to improve airfoil aerodynamic performance is presented. ...
Gurney Flap Implementation on a DU91W250 Airfoil
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Abstract
The increasing capability of Wind Turbine (WT) based power generation systems has derived in an increment of the WT rotor diameter, i.e., longer rotor blades. This results in an increase of the electrical power ...
