The design methodology described in this paper takes a substantial shift from conventional methods. Traditionally sizing is based on the worst expected load scenario. By contrast to this conventional passive approach the method presented here replaces pass ...
Thin-shell and rod theory using discrete mechanics applied to structures in civil engineering. The aim is to apply structure preserving algorithms to concrete problems in construction. The major objectives of this interdisciplinary work is the search and t ...
A tensegrity is a lightweight space reticulated structure consisting of compression members — struts — surrounded by a network of tension members — cables — that provide rigidity and stability. They can be easily dismantled and therefore, they provide inno ...
The work presented in this paper deals with the bonding of small structures, down to 1 mu m. Its aim is to evaluate the dimensional limits of anodic bonding between silicon and pyrex 7740 glass. Test structures consisting in silicon pillars with controlled ...

The present research represents a theoretical and experimental contribution to the understanding of the structural behaviour of elements made of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). UHPFRC is investigated as an advanced cementitious m ...
An emerging technique for strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs is to add a layer of Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) with steel rebars as an external tensile flexural reinforcement. This paper presents the results of an ...
A simple technique for microstructuring ceramic thin films by micromachining substrates using standard photolithographic techniques was investigated. The ceramic perovskite is used to illustrate the method because of its importance for the fabrication of e ...
The extremely low permeability of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) associated to their outstanding mechanical properties make them especially suitable to locally "harden" reinforced concrete structures in critical zones subjected ...
