There are many examples of steel structures subjected to severe environmental conditions with bolted connections directly exposed to climatic agents such as steel bridges, mining transfer towers, wind towers etc. In this experimental research, non‐slip joints with M16 and M20 bolts have been studied. The specimens were subjected to fourteen 12 h freeze‐thaw cycles, with periodic immersion in water and temperature oscillation. Subsequently, the connections were subjected to a slip test under monotonic load. The results were compared with other equal joints not subjected to freeze‐thaw cycles and kept at room temperature for the same time. Some interesting conclusions are extracted from this piece of research. It was observed that freeze‐thaw cycles negatively affect the slip resistance of non‐slip joints with GB+ZE surfaces, even with a slight increase in clamping force. Samples with SR and GB surfaces increase in their slip resistance was observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Studies of the elements that make up the structure of a building have generally focused on topics related to their physical and structural capacities. Although research has been carried out into environmental impact during the life cycle stages, the environmental profile is far from established. This research aims to reduce the gap in the knowledge of this subject, offering useful information to professionals in the construction industry, which will enable them to consider environmental aspects when choosing the best construction systems. The present study applies the methodology of the life cycle assessment (LCA), to analyze and compare four floor construction systems in two different scenarios (“A” with a functional homogeneous unit of 1 m2 and “B” with 1 m² made up of the percentages of the floor system and the special areas of the building). The analysis is performed using the LCA Manager software, along with the Ecoinvent 3.1 database and with a cradle to handover perspective (A1–A5). Comparison was made using two environmental impact methodologies, Eco-indicator 99 and CML 2001. The results highlight the stages A1–A3 as those that generate the greatest environmental impact. Comparing the environmental profiles of the different floor systems, one-way floor systems I and II had the best environmental scores, 30% less than two-way floor system III and 50% less than slab floor system IV., Peer Reviewed, Postprint (published version)

This study involves an elastoplastic analysis of the effects of the advance of a double-track railway tunnel on the soil and the tunnel support. The strength and deformation properties have been determined using in-situ testing with equipment designed and patented by the Soil Engineering Research Group at the University of Oviedo (GIITUO). The behaviour of the excavation face and the ideal trace are studied using a 2D model of the longitudinal cross section of the tunnel. In this work one study of the behaviour of the soil and the support during the different phases of excavation is given. From it, it is possible to say that in the initial phases of the excavation and with temporary support there are not significant deformations. Once the final support is applied, the maximum compressive stresses (7MPa) are concentrated in the crown zone and the maximum tensile stresses are in the base of the support of the top heading and the sidewalls (0.15-0.5 MPa). Resumen En este trabajo se realiza un análisis elastoplástico de los efectos provocados sobre el terreno y sobre el propio sostenimiento por el avance de un túnel de ferrocarril de doble vía. Las propiedades resistentes y deformacionales del terreno se han determinado mediante ensayos “in situ” llevados a cabo con un equipo diseñado y patentado por el Grupo de Investigación de Ingeniería del Terreno de la Universidad de Oviedo (GIITUO). Con este procedimiento se garantiza la solidez en las simulaciones numéricas realizadas. En este trabajo se estudia el comportamiento del frente de excavación y el avance ideal mediante una modelización bidimensional de la sección longitudinal del túnel. Además, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio sobre el comportamiento del terreno y del sostenimiento a lo largo de las diferentes fases de la excavación. De él, se deduce que en las fases iniciales de la excavación y con el soporte temporal no hay deformaciones significativas. Una vez colocado el sostenimiento definitivo, las tensiones de compresión máximas (7 MPa) se sitúan en la zona de la corona y las tensiones de tracción (0.15 - 0.5 MPa) se sitúan en la base del sostenimiento del avance y en los hastiales.

Experimental study where the feasibility of using waste from granite quarries as a replacement for micronized quartz in the manufacture of UHPC has been analyzed. To carry out this study granite powder were characterized. Then, a reference mix was designed that ensures a self-compacting fresh concrete with a compressive strength above 115 MPa. Once the characteristics of the control concrete were verified, 35%, 70% and 100% of the micronized quartz was replaced by the same volume of granite powder. Finally, the experimental program was developed. Density, compression strength and flexural strength tests were carried out. To characterize the mortar matrix, a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with magnifications of ×30, ×200 and ×500 was used.

- Abstract
This study analyzes the effect of using waste by-products generated in the process of granite cutting as part of the granular structure of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC). The manufactured concrete has a compressive strength greater than 115 MPa. This study substitutes 35%, 70% and 100% of the volume of micronized quartz powder (<40 m) with granite cutting waste. This is an innovative study where the feasibility of using waste from granite quarries as a replacement for micronized quartz in UHPC has been analyzed. The results show an improvement in the workability and compressive strength of UHPC, for all substitution ratios. The flexural strength and tensile strength increase when the substitution ratio is 35%, and even the values obtained for 100% substitution are acceptable. In view of the results obtained in this study, granite cutting waste, instead of the micronized quartz powder usually used, is a viable alternative for the manufacture of expectedly more sustainable UHPC., Peer Reviewed, Postprint (published version)

Resumen basado en el de los autores Universidad de Oviedo Se muestra las enormes posibilidades en el campo de la enseñanza de estructuras metálicas y mixtas de un material de fácil acceso y manipulación: la espuma de goma-EVA (o etilvinilacetato). Se han desarrollado cuatro tipos de maquetas didácticas sobre tres temas: vigas, uniones y estructuras mixtas. El uso de tornillos de pequeño diámetro ha permitido reproducir a escala las uniones más comunes en estructuras metálicas de edificación y mostrar la variación de su rigidez rotacional. Las inestabilidades de los paneles son reproducidas visualmente como abolladuras muy claras en las planchas de etilvinilacetato, permitiendo la visualización directa de fenómenos nuevos para el alumno como la abolladura por cortante en vigas armadas de gran canto. Las soldaduras o las uniones ala-alma de los perfiles han sido reproducidas mediante el uso de pegamento termofusible y el hormigón ha sido simulado utilizando espuma flexible de poliuretano de baja densidad. La sencillez de fabricación y bajísimo coste de las maquetas las hace ideales como apoyo didáctico en las clases, pero también para ser consideradas como objeto de trabajos complementarios evaluables a realizar por los alumnos.

In this work, the sup port of two general galleries located in poor quality rock mass and subjected to the influence of high thickness coal layer exploitations is designed and optimized. The process is carried out in four phases: A first preliminary support is defined employing different geomechanical classifications and applying the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) using bolts and shotcrete. An instrumentation campaign is carried out with the goal of analysing the behaviour of the support. The study noticed the failure of the support due to the time of placement of the different elements. A back-analysis using the Flac and Phases software has allowed the evaluation of the properties of the rock mass and the support, the study of the influence of the time of placement on the component elements (bolts and shotcrete), and the redefinition of that support. Subsequently, a new support is designed and optimized through numerical modeling after the start of mining without experience in these sizes of sublevel caving that caused the failure of the previously designed support. The new support is formed by yieldable steel arches that are more suitable to withstand the stresses generated by nearby mining work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Durante las últimas cuatro décadas nuestra sociedad viene proponiendo e impulsando, cada vez con mayor compromiso y celeridad, políticas medioambientales que tratan de reducir la continua degradación a la que se está viendo sometido nuestro planeta. Dentro de esta línea, en el año 2001, en nuestro país se puso en marcha el 1 Plan Nacional de Residuos de Construcción y Demolición que finalizó en el año 2006. En la actualidad, dentro del Plan Nacional Integrado de Residuos, el II Plan Nacional de Residuos de Construcción y Demolición fomenta y promueve el reciclaje y la valorización de dichos residuos. Este trabajo ha sido llevado a cabo dentro de este ámbito de actuaciones tratando de profundizar en los estudios llevados a cabo dentro de este campo.A tal efecto hemos planteado la realización de un estudio experimental para tratar de determinar el grado de influencia de una serie de factores que, en primera instancia, creemos pueden afectar a las propiedades del hormigón fabricado con áridos reciclados procedentes de residuos de construcción y demolición donde el propio hormigón es el componente mayoritario.Los factores seleccionados en nuestro estudio han sido: la calidad del árido reciclado según su origen, el porcentaje de sustitución en la dosificación del hormigón de áridos convencionales por áridos reciclados, el porcentaje de desclasificados que contienen los áridos reciclados gruesos empleados, el tipo de granulometría utilizada en la dosificación del hormigón, el criterio empleado en la sustitución de los áridos convencionales por áridos reciclados, la resistencia característica del hormigón a compresión y la consistencia que pretendemos obtener en la mezcla.Estudiaremos las variaciones de dichos factores sobre algunas de las características más relevantes del hormigón así fabricado. La densidad, la absorción, la cantidad de aire ocluido, la resistencia a compresión, el módulo de elasticidad, la resistencia a tracción y la permeabilidad al agua serán las propiedades ensayadas.En la metodología de trabajo establecida hemos procedido, en principio, a caracterizar los materiales empleados. Se ha establecido un procedimiento para dosificar el hormigón. Para ello se ha elaborado una hoja de cálculo en la que se determinan las cantidades de componentes sueltos necesarios para la fabricación del hormigón teniendo en cuenta los factores anteriormente mencionados.Para llevar a cabo el programa de ensayos, buscando compatibilizar el tiempo invertido en su desarrollo y la fiabilidad de las conclusiones, realizamos un diseño del experimento altamente fraccionado tomando como base el "orthogonal array L27" diseñado por Taguchi. A partir del mismo fabricamos las probetas correspondientes a las veintisiete amasadas resultantes y, una vez curadas, realizamos los ensayos previamente programados.Para dar más robustez a los resultados y ampliar el estudio a otras propiedades replicamos el experimento. El análisis de los resultados obtenidos en los ensayos se lleva a cabo apoyándonos en la Inferencia Estadística, tratando de determinar las diferencias más significativas existentes en las propiedades estudiadas respecto al hormigón convencional.Finalmente se extraen conclusiones relativas al empleo de hormigón fabricado con áridos reciclados con fines estructurales y se sugieren futuras líneas de trabajo que nos ayuden a comprender mejor este campo.

- Abstract
The main aim of this work was to determine creep and shrinkage variations experienced in recycled concrete, made by replacing the main fraction of the natural aggregate with a recycled aggregate coming from waste concrete and comparing it to a control concrete. It was possible to state that the evolution of deformation by shrinkage and creep was similar to a conventional concrete, although the results after a period of 180 days showed the influence of the substitution percentage in the recycled aggregates present in the mixture. In the case when 100% coarse natural aggregate was replaced by recycled aggregate there was an increase in the deformations by creep of 51% and by shrinkage of 70% as compared to those experienced by the control concrete. The substitution percentages of coarse natural aggregate by coarse recycled aggregate were 20, 50 and 100%. Fine natural aggregate was used in all cases and the amount of cement and water–cement ratio remained constant in the mixture.

- Abstract
Managing of construction and demolition waste must become more efficient in order to improve the sustainability of the building industry. Therefore new recovery applications must be studied. The work presented in this paper evaluates the deformation properties of recycled concrete fabricated with mixed recycled aggregates coming from the construction support industry. Both concrete and ceramic recycled aggregates were mixed in a 50% (in volume) ratio. Concrete aggregates came from waste of precast concrete products and ceramic aggregates were obtained from ventilation clay bricks which did not comply with the standards. Wastes were processed in a construction waste recovery facility. A 0/8 mm size of aggregate was obtained, hence this study includes not only aggregates coarse fraction, but also the fine fraction. Six concrete series were mixed with different replacement percentages (20, 35, 50, 70 and 100%), including also one mix with natural aggregates, with a dosage corresponding to that used for precast prestressed joists for building floor systems. The cement weight was always invariable while water volume was changed depending on the aggregates absorption in order to guarantee the workability. Shrinkage and creep tests were carried out in order to determine the influence of replacement percentages on the concrete deformation properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
This work presents the results of an experimental study performed on the reuse of waste from ceramic precast ventilation ducts previously rejected by defective. They have been used as ceramic recycled aggregates (ERA) for the manufacture of prestressed concrete joists used in building floors. The coarse fraction and the fine fraction have been considered. The substitution levels in volume were 20%, 35%, 50% and 70%. The work has been carried out in three phases. In the first one, the material was processed in a crushing plant to get the right sizes. Then, the ceramic recycled aggregate was characterized. In the second phase, the concrete was physically and mechanically characterized. In the last stage four sets of prestressed joists with different substitution levels, and a series of natural aggregate control were made. Flexural strength and shear strength tests in the isolated joist were performed. Nowadays tests in the nerve-beam and durability tests are being performed. The results show the possibility of use of ceramic recycled aggregate in these applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nevertheless, although Eurocodes will soon become mandatory documents, designs will not be standardized because each country has a set of National Annexes which must be taken into account when designing in that particular country. Furthermore, every country also has its own body of non-conflicting complementary information. A problem then arises when engineers need to produce designs in other European countries, either for a company based in one state or as individuals. Also, allowing engineers time out of the office for attendance at the intensive training courses which are required for earning experience on the new codes of design, frequently represents an obstacle for their employers. In an attempt to solve these problems, a strong trans-national partnership has been working to develop an ICT-supported, flexible training approach to allow designers to apply Eurocodes in accordance with the national regulations and practices of different member states. The resulting material in seven languages shows how to design a typical building according to the different national contexts. The developed portal incorporates facilities for course presentation, forums, blogs and on-line translation. The students thought that the portal was an effective tool that helped them to improve the quality and efficiency of their studies. In their opinion the web-course is well structured and they found the forum for discussion and the web-based tutoring system very helpful. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This research aimed to prove the feasibility of producing two types of precast elements widely used in construction, such as curbstones and paving blocks, using recycled concrete made with a 50% substitution of the natural gravel by recycled mixed aggregates with a significant ceramic content (>30%). In order to prove the quality of such mass concrete recycled precast elements, two different mixes were used: the first one was a conventional concrete mix provided by Prefabricados de Hormigón Pavimentos Páramo S.L., one of the collaborating companies in this study, and the other was a mixture in which wt 50% of the natural coarse aggregates were substituted for recycled mixed aggregates ceramic (RMAc). This recycled aggregate is a heterogeneous mixture of unbound aggregates, concrete, ceramic, etc., used as a secondary recycled aggregate and commonly produced in a lot of recycling plants in many European countries. This material was supplied by Tecnología y Reciclado S.L., the other collaborating company. Both mixtures were representative in order to establish the comparative behavior between them, taking into account that smaller percentages of replacement of the natural with recycled aggregates will also produce good results. This percentage of substitution represents a high saving of natural resources (gravel) and maintains a balanced behavior of the recycled concrete, so this new material can be considered to be a viable and reliable option for precast mass concrete paving elements. The characterization of the recycled precast elements, covering mechanical, microstructural, and durability properties, showed mostly similar behavior when compared to the analogous industrially-produced pieces made with conventional concrete.

- Abstract
[EN] Larger consumption of natural fine aggregates (NFA) leads to an increase in cost, energy, and negative environmental impact. On the contrary, the larger production of construction waste results in the generation of recycled fine aggregate (RFA), which requires safe disposal. The aim of study, is to the hunt for such alternatives, compares the mortar mechanical and durability properties with and without RFA. High strength mortar specimens were produced with mix proportion as 1:3 using RFA as partial replacement for NFA as 0%, 25%, 50% and 100%. The mechanical and durability performance of all specimens was assessed in the terms of compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption and mercury intrusion porosimetry. Mechanical performance is confirmed by microscopic studies. The main results display that the mortar with 25% of RFA, performed better, which are related to pore structures and their distribution. It is noted that the, pores also increase with the increase in RFA content. The effect of pores on the strength and their relationships are assessed.

- Abstract
[EN] Plain concrete’s major two drawbacks are its low tensile strength and high carbon footprint. Joint adding of fibers and recycled/waste materials in concrete might assist to resolve these problems. In the present study, a novel technique is planned to improve the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) mechanical behavior and durability performance by joint incorporation of silica fume (SF) and nylon fibers (NF). In this research paper, different properties of concrete samples are examined for example flexural strength, compressive strength, split tensile strength, penetration of chloride ions, acid resistance, and water absorption. It was noted that adding nylon fibers as individual components enhances the recycled aggregate concrete mechanical characteristics and resistance to acid exposure. The inclusion of nylon fibers improved the behavior of the recycled aggregate concrete; however, it also increased the chloride penetration and water absorption by only 18% and 8% respectively. Up to 26% of mechanical strength of concrete was improved when silica fume was added in comparison to reference concrete, silica fume also assisted in controlling the loss of durability because of adding recycled aggregate concrete and nylon fibers. Silica fume improved the bond between binder matrix and nylon fibers. The study revealed that the combination of 50% RCA, 0.5% nylon fibers and 20% silica fume are optimum for the joint incorporation into concrete that can assist in developing sustainable, durable, and ductile recycled aggregate fiber reinforced concrete.

En el presente estudio se ha estudiado la influencia que tiene la utilización de residuos procedentes de una cantera de granito y residuos procedentes de los lavaderos de una mina de fluorita, como sustitutos parciales o totales del árido natural, sobre las propiedades de Hormigón de Muy Alto Rendimiento con Fibras de acero (HMARF). En primer lugar, para el desarrollo del programa experimental, se ha diseñado una dosificación de referencia que garantice un hormigón autocompactante, con una resistencia a compresión superior a 110 MPa. Una vez establecida la dosificación del hormigón de referencia se fabricaron y caracterización las diferentes amasadas de HMARF con residuos previstas en el programa experimental. El estudio se ha realizado para analizar la posible influencia que pueda ejercer la procedencia, el tipo de residuo utilizado, el porcentaje de sustitución del árido natural y el tipo del árido a sustituir sobre las propiedades físicas y mecánicas del HMARF. Las propiedades evaluadas han sido: la consistencia, la densidad del HMARF endurecido, la absorción de agua, la resistencia a compresión, el módulo de elasticidad, la resistencia a flexión, la resistencia a tracción y la retracción. Los porcentajes de sustitución han sido del 35%, el 50%, el 70% y el 100%. Los resultados obtenidos indican que los residuos procedentes de la cantera de granito y de la mina de fluorita son una alternativa viable para la fabricación de un HMARF más sostenible utilizándolos como sustitutos de los áridos naturales.

Mecánica del suelo en la construcción ,Ingeniería mecánica - Abstract
El terreno debe ser considerado otro material más en el ámbito de la construcción. Con el paso del tiempo funciona como si fuera un elemento evolutivo, ya que se modifica e incluso, llega a deteriorarse. Más aún, puede suceder que sus condiciones de estabilidad se transformen. Es pues muy importante, conocer la tipología del suelo sobre la que vamos a enclavar la edificación, porque influirá directamente en su comportamiento mecánico. Añadamos otra variable adicional como es esa dualidad tan estática y a la vez tan alterable por la acción del ser humano, por la climatología y por el discurrir de la historia. El texto refundido de la Ley del Suelo y Rehabilitación Urbana, R.D. Legislativo 7/2015 de 30 de octubre plantea las relaciones que deben existir entre los usos y las tipologías edificatorias. Por desgracia es un condicionante de partida con frecuencia olvidado en el planeamiento urbanístico, donde imperan los criterios políticos y especulativos. En España comenzó a exigirse un estudio geotécnico en la construcción de viviendas privadas a partir de la entrada en vigor de la Ley de Ordenación de la Edificación (38/1999). Llaman poderosamente la atención las estadísticas que avalan que el coste económico de las patologías en las cimentaciones constituye el capítulo más elevado de las reparaciones estructurales. Es cierto que habitualmente los cálculos relacionados con la geotecnia se evalúan de forma poco precisa. La tierra es el elemento común de todas las personas en los distintos continentes y la superficie donde desarrollamos nuestras funciones diarias. Empero, sigue siendo escasamente conocida a juzgar por los amplios intervalos con que manejamos sus propiedades. Las magnitudes con ella relacionadas no se acotan con la exactitud de otras partidas de la construcción y los coeficientes de seguridad elevados quedan justificados por el alto precio de una campaña geotécnica rigurosa. Es fácil advertir construcciones sobre tierras que no son uniformes ni homogéneas. Numerosas áreas muestran heterogeneidades, existen lentejones, etc., e incluso en una misma parcela, se descubren diferencias notables entre las características del subsuelo. La gran desventaja que presenta el terreno es sin duda, esta imprevisible heterogeneidad. Las diferencias entre las cualidades de otros materiales comúnmente utilizados como la cerámica, el acero o el hormigón, son mínimas en relación a las propiedades del suelo. Para solventar todo esto se han elaborado un conjunto de planos que constituyen el Mapa Geotécnico Básico de Badajoz, recogiendo las propiedades de sus estratos y su aplicación a la edificación. Tras acopiar una documentación muy completa consistente en 459 sondeos, se identifican nueve capas: rellenos, arcillas y limos, arenas en arcillas, gravas en arcillas, arenas, gravas en arenas, gravas, el estrato rocoso y las aguas freáticas. La cartografía ha sido obtenida gráficamente mediante isolíneas, indicando la posición y espesores de las capas antes mencionadas. Se ha estudiado, así mismo el fenómeno de expansividad en la ciudad correlacionándolo con la tipología de cimentación. Se propone una herramienta para la difusión de los resultados que recoge los parámetros geotécnicos de todos los sondeos.

- Abstract
This research work analyses the influence of the use of by-products from a fluorite mine to replace the fine fraction of natural aggregates, on the properties of Ultra-High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC). Replacing natural aggregates for different kinds of wastes is becoming common in concrete manufacturing and there are a number of studies into the use of waste from the construction sector in UHPFRC. However, there is very little work concerning the use of waste from the mining industry. Furthermore, most of the existing studies focus on granite wastes. So, using mining sand waste is an innovative alternative to replace natural aggregates in the manufacture of UHPFRC. The substitutions in this study are of 50%, 70% and 100% by volume of 0-0.5 mm natural silica sand. The results obtained show that the variations in the properties of consistency, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength, among others, are acceptable for substitutions of up to 70%. Therefore, fluorite mining sand waste is proved to be a viable alternative in the manufacturing of UHPFRC.
