Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya
La Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Barcelona Tech (UPC) és una institució pública de recerca i d'educació superior en els àmbits de l'enginyeria, l'arquitectura i les ciències.
L’activitat dels seus campus i centres fan de la UPC un punt de referència i, en complicitat amb el teixit productiu, són agent i motor de canvi econòmic i social, en posar en valor la recerca bàsica i aplicada i transferir tecnologia i coneixement a la societat.
Els investigadors i investigadores de la UPC treballen des dels laboratoris i centres de recerca per augmentar la producció científica, valoritzar-la socialment a través de la transferència de resultats i continuar liderant projectes internacionals d’excel·lència, ja sigui a partir d’iniciatives pròpies o en col·laboració amb altres centres de recerca i universitats d’arreu del món.

Spatial Arch Bridges (SABs) are defined as bridges in which vertical deck loads produce bending moments and shear forces not contained in the arch plane due to their geometrical and structural configuration. Moreover, the ...
Concrete technology has changed greatly in the past decades. Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is an example of the development in this field. It is obtained by adding fibres that act as a reinforcement of the cement ...
Due to the related problems and the ongoing awareness on environmental issues is that efforts are put in different areas of knowledge, in order to determine, analyze and formulate solutions towards a sustainable future. ...
The use of the EAF steel slags as aggregate in the production of concrete has gained great interest with the increasing concern about the environment impact and the sustainability in the construction industry. The EAF steel ...
Despite the advance that has led the incorporation of Annex 15 in the Spanish EHE-08, the use of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is minimum in structural applications. This regulation limits the percentage of substitution ...
Many reinforced concrete structures suffer damage due to aging and due to the environmental agressivity, thus affecting their serviceability performance and safety. Structural evaluation of a deteriorated structure is ...
The conservation of historic structures has been given special attention due to their cultural, social and economic importance. However they often show considerable structural vulnerability and have been seriously damaged ...
Antoni Gaudí developed, for the pinnacles ofthe Sagrada Famí!ia, a unique constructive solution with precast concrete elements which were slightlyreinforced and covered with a trencadís ofMurano glass (Venice). In the ...
The aim of this thesis is to present a framework for the application of micro-modeling techniques for the analysis of unreinforced masonry structures. Finite element analyses of case studies from the literature are carried ...
Tunneling construction represents an alteration to the distribution of soil pressures that will almost inevitably generate ground subsidence, which can endanger the adjacent buildings in urban areas. The risk of building ...
Historical structures are vital to the realization of how the technical, artistic, and scientific skills of the human kind have developed over time. These structures are one of the motors of the tourism industry, and ...
Planning and monitoring of projects are fundamental activities for its management. These tasks provide the required information to have a full picture of a given situation. They are an instrument that enables the control ...
This thesis examines the response of stainless steel members when subjected to transverse and normal forces triggering the instability phenomena called web crippling and local buckling, respectively. Currently, the part ...
This doctoral thesis defines a new methodology for evaluating and comparing different construction projects in an objective and systematic manner. It is innovative by incorporating issues as diverse as cost, occupational ...
This doctoral thesis addresses jointly two paramount aspects in the management of the hydraulic structures in operating regime: the damage diagnosis and the investment prioritisation that should allow repairing such damages. ...
To make the inspection and diagnosis of buildings is useful be able to quantify how far the existing deficiencies are serious or not, in order to facilitate the decision making and prioritize therapeutic interventions. In ...
Tapered plate girders often form part of large-scale structures such as long continuous bridges or industrial buildings where due to considerable loads the higher resistance is required. There are several important reasons ...
The lack of green areas in cities is caused by the increase in population and the urbanisation process. However, an increasing interest in city greenery was observed since the beginning of twentieth century. Several benefits ...
This work presents a study of the simulation of cable-stayed bridges built on temporary supports focused on their response during construction and in service. To simulate the behavior during construction, a set of four ...
Portland cement is the most widely used building material. Is mainly composed of silicates, also has lesser proportion of aluminates and calcium sulfate. Its hydraulic nature generates in its hydration, the formation of ...
