Es frecuente que las estructuras, una vez realizadas, muestren diferencias, respecto de su concepción original que, en ocasiones, pueden hacer necesaria una intervención posterior con el objetivo de corregir su comportamiento estructural. En otras ocasiones estas actuaciones se hacen necesarias como consecuencias de deterioros sufridos durante...

Las pruebas de vibración ambiental están consolidadas desde décadas en el mundo ingenieril como uno de los principales métodos experimentales para evaluar el comportamiento dinámico de estructuras a gran escala. La excitación artificial de grandes estructuras conlleva una gran complejidad, lo que hace recurrir al análisis modal operacional...

En la última década, ha venido emergiendo un nuevo tipo de edificio en altura. Se trata de rascacielos inclinados u ondulados que, desafiando toda la lógica edificatoria que supone la conservación de la verticalidad, se convierten en auténticos hitos e iconos arquitectónicos. El reconocimiento de este último aspecto está conduciendo a la...

One of the main difficulties that can be detected in a historical building structural analysis is the high level of uncertainty associated with many factors affecting the behavior of the structure. Slight modifications of the mechanical properties of the structural materials, the soil-structure interaction or even the building construction...

Years ago we built a large cover to demonstrate the great possibilities that the Vierendeel solution has to solve double curved roof surfaces. It was the Dos Hermanas Velodrome, a good example of this solution. Now we have planned to solve a large cantilever roof spanning 150 m and flying 34 m with a similar solution. For the Velodrome we...
