The El Niño phenomenon is caused by the change in atmospheric pressures, which produce the accumulation of hot surface waters on the eastern flank of the Pacific Ocean; causing intense rainfall that runs over the surface ...

Concrete structures can suffer from different types of damage, which can considerably shorten their life. One of the responsible for this process is the transport of salts into the pores of the concrete. Besides accelerating ...

In this work, a thermodynamically consistent non-local poroplastic constitutive theoryfor quasi-brittle materials like concrete subjected to high temperature is presented [1]. Thereby, gradient poroplasticity and fracture ...

Chloride diffusion in concrete is a main aspect of reinforced concrete durability. It defines the time required for reinforcement corrosion in marine structures. Concrete porosity is one of the main concerns involved in ...

The principal goal in this project is to determine the ruptura modulus or the strength to the slip tensile of the porous concrete and by the way correlate this datas with the strength to the compression that this knd of ...
