• openAccess   Efecto del spalling sobre la resistencia a flexión biaxial de pilares de hormigón armado expuestos a fuego 

      Peña Mansilla, David Leonardo; Albero, Vicente; Ibáñez Usach, Carmen; Hospitaler, Antonio; Espinós, Ana; Romero, Manuel L. Asociación Española de Ingeniería Estructural (2022)
      El spalling es un fenómeno que sufre el hormigón expuesto al fuego debido al aumento de presión en los poros por evaporación y donde su superficie se desconcha incluso de forma explosiva durante los primeros 30 minutos de ...
    • openAccess   Fire design of slim‐floor beams 

      Romero, Manuel L.; Albero, Vicente; Espinós, Ana; Hospitaler, Antonio Ernst & Sohn (2019)
      Slim‐floor beams are a well‐known and cost‐effective solution that permits a significant reduction of floor thickness, and are increasingly used in industrial and commercial buildings. Since only their lower flange is ...
    • openAccess   Innovative solutions for enhancing the fire resistance of slim-floor beams: Thermal experiments 

      Albero, Vicente; Serra, E.; Espinós, Ana; Romero, Manuel L.; Hospitaler, Antonio Elsevier (2019-11-14)
      Slim-floor beams have attracted the attention of designers in the last decades, owing to their ability for supporting intermediate loads without increasing the floor thickness. However, the behaviour of this type of beams ...
