There are many examples of historical rammed earth constructions for which the development valid methods evaluation their conservation state is a major concern agencies all around world. On other hand, attracting attention modern architecture trends because its outstanding performance from an ecological perspective. Thus, reliable non-destructive tests inspection new and existing interest. Ultrasonic sonic among most commonly used. While former has been subject numerous studies in soil,...
The response of wind turbines is induced by dynamic loads such as wind, transient and cyclic loads, also extreme earthquakes. Thus, the structural design requires an accurate evaluation modal parameters system because it strongly required that no resonances are excited. Moreover, has been concluded from previous research works soil–structure interaction (SSI) should be accounted for analysis. In present paper, turbine towers investigated considering different soil conditions using a...
Abstract This paper uses the Continuous Wavelet Transform Analysis on mode shapes for damage identification. The wavelet analysis is applied to difference in between a healthy and damaged state. also includes novel methodology estimating level of noise experimental based standard Signal Noise Ratio (SNR). estimated SNRs are used identifying making emphasis less noisy data. Moreover, mass attached structure considered enhance sensitivity damage. Modal performed different positions along beam....
Purpose: The goal of this study was to assess the experimental feasibility circular multistatic holography, a novel breast microwave radar reconstruction approach, using datasets recorded preclinical setup. performance approach quantitatively evaluated by calculating signal clutter ratio (SCR), contrast (CCR), tumor fibroglandular response (TFRR), spatial accuracy, and time. Methods: Five were synthetic phantoms with dielectric properties tissue in 1–6 GHz range custom system developed...
Although it has good compressive behavior, adobe masonry is classified as a quasi-brittle material mainly due to its relative low tensile strength and softening behavior after the peak strength. The plus high variability in mechanical properties, makes difficult evaluate performance of entire buildings. For such purpose, development reliable computationally efficient numerical approaches required. This work shows methodology calibrate main parameters be used modeling samples following finite...
La tierra cruda constituye el material de construcción más importante en muchas regiones del planeta. Dado riesgo sísmico existente la mayor parte estas regiones, es necesario desarrollo técnicas refuerzo eficaces y adecuadas desde un punto vista tecnológico socioeconómico. Este artículo analiza experimental analítico comportamiento a flexión muros adobe reforzados con geomallas. Las leyes momento-curvatura los ensayados son aproximadas mediante una serie modelos analíticos que permiten...
This paper presents the results of an innovative teaching experience in area structural analysis mechanical engineering program Universidad de Sevilla, Spain. The methodology used is aimed at motivating students to learn by promoting design, calculation, building, and testing structures. method not only trains make calculations, but also develops skills that allow them understand how structures function. project includes subjects taught third fifth year course. In their year, begin training...
Rammed earth is a traditional construction technique that has recently gained attention because of its benefits from an ecological perspective. The conservation the existing valuable cultural heritage sites and quality control new constructions built with this material require development application practical inspection techniques. This paper explores sonic tests tomography as tools for monitoring state structures identification heterogeneities or damaged areas. Two groups 6 rammed...
Recent evolutions in clinical care and remote monitoring suggest that some acute illnesses no longer require intravenous therapy inpatient hospitalization.
This paper addresses the identification problem of multiple open cracks in beams based on damage-induced variations static deflection beam. A two-step non-model-based damage localization and quantification methodology is proposed. First, locations can be identified from slope discontinuities variation using a specific linear-trend filtering function. Then, crack depths assessed characteristic expressions rotational spring models. An experimental case study simply supported beam with used to...
En la Península Ibérica existen numerosas viviendas y elementos patrimoniales construidos con tierra cruda. Por otro lado, actualmente hay una tendencia creciente a revitalizar el empleo de este material en arquitectura moderna debido su valor ecológico arquitectónico. Sin embargo, existe aún falta conocimiento científico acerca comportamiento mecánico, así como especificaciones para realizar caracterización rigurosa. artículo se realiza un análisis experimental aras desarrollar metodología...
This article presents the application of monitoring and detection structural damage techniques to a historic monument. Seville cathedral’s famous bell tower ‘La Giralda’ is 96 m tall crowned with large 16th century sculpture known as ‘Giraldillo’. The supported an internal bar structure, which fitted over axis about it rotates according wind direction, allowing function weathervane. Between 1999 2005 Giraldillo was demounted underwent intensive restoration process, included mechanical repair...
