In concrete technology, it is common to use fly ash (FA) and micro-SiO2 (SF) as mineral admixtures. This has resulted in improvements in the fresh and hardened states. On the other hand, nano-SiO2 (nS) is industrially ...

This research work is aimed to develop a robust Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) scheme that combines modern system identification methodologies and advanced signal processing techniques to improve the capabilities of ...

The durability of concrete is influenced by its porous network. The use of fly ash in concrete mixtures produces additional hydration products, changing its micro-structure. As a concrete admixture, fly ash not only improves ...

Aluminum, its alloys and composites are widely used in many modern life applications, such as microelectromechanical systems. In this research, an aluminum matrix composite reinforced with AlB2 particles was studied in ...

Este trabajo de investigación se hizo con la intención de estimar la variación en costos usando dos diferentes teorías de diseño. La primera teoría comprende diseñar las estructuras de hormigón, para que los edificios se ...

Mortars with sufficient bonding and mechanical strength are alternative remedies to restore the original resistance of a failed structural element, prolonging its longevity. The present thesis proposed the analysis of ...

A new passive control building arrangement is proposed in this investigation with the objective of improving the seismic response of structures. The proposed control arrangement was incorporated to a 1/20 scale model of a ...
