EDMANS Group, University of La Rioja (Spain) *[email protected] Received 25 September 2018 Accepted 31 January 2019 Available on line 10 June 2019 ABSTRACT: Constructing structural elements requires high performance materials. Important decisions about geometry and materials are made during the design and execution phases. This study analyzes and evaluates the relevant factors for reinforced concrete columns made in situ for residential buildings. This article identifies and highlights the most sensitive aspects in column design: geometry, type of cement, and concrete strength performance. Using C-40 concrete mixed with CEM-II proved to cut costs (up to 17.83%) and emissions (up to 13.59%). The ideal combination of rebar and concrete is between 1.47 and 1.73: this is the percentage of the ratio between the area of rebar and the area of the concrete section. The means used during the execution phase affect resource optimization. The location of a building has only a minor impact, wherein the wind zone exercises more influence than topographic altitude.

    Protection of Reinforced Concrete in Marine Environment with application to ‘Marina Internacional Torrevieja’ (Alicante) Trabajo Final de Máster Louis NOLLET Promotor Professor Vicent ESTEBAN CHAPAPRÍA MÁSTER EN TRANSPORTE TERRITORIO Y URBANISMO E.T.S. De Ing. De CAMINOS, CANALES Y PUERTOS UNIVERSITAT POLITÈCNICA DE VALÈNCIA This master thesis is submitted to achieve the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Sciences at KU Leuven: Industriële wetenschappen, bouwkunde. Academic year 2016-2017 Preface This master thesis covers a very specific domain of the durability of constructions in marine environment. While most engineering educations cover the aspect of the design and construction of new structures, little information is provided over the maintenance and repair of existing structures. However, the application of these last terms enables to reach the optimal use of materials and to reduce costs, which is in my opinion a fundamental task of an engineer. The choice of a subject related to hydraulic engineering corresponds to my interests. My education of construction engineer started in the technology campus Ghent of university KU Leuven, in Belgium. After the achievement of the bachelor degree, I participated in a project in the north of Peru. Together with other students and local people, we designed and constructed a micro hydro power plant to provide a secluded village of green energy. This internship was a first introduction to water works and raised my interests. As a specialisation in hydraulic engineering is not provided at our campus, I participated in the exchange programme of Erasmus. This enabled the possibility to study at Universitat Politècnica de València where hydraulic engineering plays a strong role.

All Rights Reserved. Abstract This paper focuses on showing the effect of curing time on the bond strength between reinforcement and fly- ash geopolymer concrete. Various parameters are varied to compare between ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete and Class C fly-ash geopolymer concrete (GPC). These concretes are designed to have two different compressive strengths, and each of them is cured at 28 and 56 days. The diameter of reinforcement is selected as 12 and 16 mm with deformed type. From the study, it is found that the bond strength increase with increasing the compressive strength, while with decreasing the diameter of reinforcement, as expected. The bond strength of OPC embedded with smaller reinforcement is more sensitive to the increase of the curing time. However, its bond strength is significantly less sensitive to the compressive strength. The bond strength of GPC with higher design compressive strength is more sensitive to the increase of the curing time.
