Estudio para la optimización de la composición de un HACFRA (hormigón autocompactante reforzado con fibras de acero) estructural
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CIentíficas (CSIC), 2015)
El interés de un HACFRA (Hormigón autocompactante reforzado con fibras de acero), radica en la combinación del incremento de capacidad resistente con respecto al hormigón y disminución de la fisuración, aportada por la ...
Las patentes en la introducción del hormigón armado en España: caso de estudio de la Alhóndiga de Bilbao
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2014-06-18)
[ES]Las estructuras de hormigón armado se introducen en España por influencia principalmente francesa. Esto sucede a finales del siglo XIX, siguiendo el esquema de funcionamiento a través de sistemas patentados imperantes ...
The prediction of bending strengths in SFRSCC using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
(Elsevier, 2014)
This research establishes a correlation between the predicted fiber orientation in Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) and the flexural behavior of the composite material. It is well known that the proper alignment of ...
Sustainable Alternative of Structural Concrete Retaining Tanks
(Emerald Publishing, 2018-05)
