This paper studies the energy behavior of several public heated swimming pools with semi-transparent covers located in southeastern Spain with high consumption of their air-conditioning installations. The scientific novelty of the work is to determine the influence of solar radiation on the energy performance of this type of building and to demonst...
There are many available studies on the reinforcement of columns by confinement with composite materials. However, in the particular case of stone elements, there is a lack of information regarding the performance of this solution under adverse conditions, which may occur during the life service of the structure. In this research, the confinement o...
The development of biocomposites has valorized some natural products related to natural processes or crop industries. In this regard, Posidonia oceanica is a marine phanerogam typical of Mediterranean coasts, in which due to tourism industry a lot of resources are destined to remove and treat Posidonia residues left on beaches. In this work an alte...
Among the different possibilities of working on the built heritage, architectural prosthetics represent an interesting option to be considered, as they allow integration by contrast and not by imitation.
The paper describes, first, what these architectural prosthetics are and, second, their condition as lightweight structures. In the first, the mos...
Although the CTE facilitates the application of geophysical prospecting techniques as complementary information to mechanical borings for the geotechnical characterization of the ground, its use in building is little widespread, making appropriate studies that analyze the benefits of its use. This article presents a comparative analysis of the resu...
The increase of building pathologies related to the use of stone materials and the use of ventilated stone veneers, requires the reformulation of design concepts in building façades and also the reformulation of the architectural project. The aim of this paper is to identify, analyze and evaluate synthetically building pathologies in stone ventilat...
El proyecto tiene como objetivo la planificación de contenidos, materiales y metodologías docentes, de acuerdo con el Espacio Europeo de Enseñanzas Superiores, del Segundo Curso del Grado en Arquitectura para el curso 2011/12. Para ello han formado parte del trabajo los profesores que podrán ser coordinadores/as de las asignaturas y estarán implica...
The three-dimensional condition in building construction requires the use of 3D drawing as the most
effective project and technical and formal knowledge transfer tool.
The aim of this paper is to show the application of 3D graphic expression in a historical analysis of the
evolution of industrialized enclosure in architecture, identifying its main...
The development of new materials of synthesis using adhesives with Posidonia oceanica from recycling processes, and its application to building systems, may allow the design of building facade cladding with better mechanical behavior and greater environmental sustainability.
This communication aims to study and evaluate briefly the main mechanical...
This paper shows the conceptual development, project, constructive and execution processes of a group of seven sculptures designed to act as containers of other art works carried out by the Spanish artist Jesús Soler. This sculptural group bases its message on the sustainability and the recycling of materials. Its fundamental boundary conditions ar...
En la primera parte de este artículo (2) se analizó el funcionamiento del sistema español de redes verticales de seguridad a la luz de algunos ensayos previos y de un modelo matemático simplificado, que permitieron apreciar algunos defectos de diseño y establecer su corrección provisional.
De las conclusiones iniciales sobre el diseño de estos disp...
The first part of this paper (2) analyzed the behaviour of the spanish vertical safety net system, in view of the results of some previous experiments and predictions of a simplified mathematical model.
From the first provisional conclussions there included, the subsequent research lines were suggested, whose results are included in this part:
1st....

In the different countries, various safety net systems were developed in the last half century to avoid accidental falls during structure building. The vertical safety net system genuine from Spain, as well as the other systems, have suffered some serious and fatal accidents, that led to improvements in their design. In the first part of his paper,...
