    Resumen
    This research deals with the axial-bending interaction in bolted steel beam to column connections along the strong axis of the column. In order to define the interaction curves, firstly, a series of tests of doubly symmetric bolted connections were carriedout in which two column sizes were considered, while the beam, end plate and bolts remained the same. These joints were tested under pure compression, as well as simultaneous bending and compression, and with different load levels. Afterwards, reduced finite element models including initial imperfections were made. These models are validated by means of the results obtained in the experimental program. The aim of the reduced model is to enlarge the range of studied loading combina-tions in terms of different percentages of axial load and bending moment. Finally, with the results obtained, a preliminary normalized interaction diagram for this type of joints wasdeduced.

    Resumen
    The aim of this research is to provide an alternative for the conventional design of beam-to-column connections in building structures. The new design is performed by means of Structural Topological Optimization and executed by means of additive manufacturing with steel. Regarding the methodology, the joint that would be manufactured by conventional methods (i.e. welded and bolted plates) is modelled by means of finite elements in the first place. Its behavior is obtained, as well as the boundary conditions and the loads to be applied to the part that is going to be optimized. Subsequently, a solid part is defined and optimized by means of the optimization module TOSCA. Then, the complete joint is simulated with the optimized connection, and the behavior and the weight of the material used are compared with those of the conventional joint.Some modifications are made to improve some aspects of the design. Afterwards, the optimized joint is printed with steel S316L, the connection is as-sembled with the columns and beams, and it is tested. The experimental results are analyzed to be able to make the necessary adjustments both in the connection and in the design methodology.

    Resumen
    This study presents the analysis of the methodology of a seismic exposure model in Guatemala City. In the last years, progress in the investigation of regional seismic hazards has revealed the need to study the vulnerability of buildings in Central America. In addition, in recent years there have been earthquakes of moderate magnitude in Guatemala causing damage in some areas of the country. An accurate exposure model and updated threat scenarios are essential for a detailed vulnerability study. This exposure study for Guatemala City reveals the presence of structural typologies that are very vulnerable to earthquakes: adobe and simple masonry. Similarly, the study reveals the majority presence of reinforced masonry and the growing construction of reinforced concrete buildings. The characteristic of this model is the use of historical aerial photographs of Guatemala City to determine the relationship between constructive typologies. The lack of exposure studies in the country has prevented the creation of policies to reduce vulnerability to a catastrophe like the earthquake in 1976. The analysis and methodology presented in this study are the preliminary step in formulating seismic risk prevention and mitigation plans in Guatemala City; knowledge of the city's exposure contributes to making subsequent actions more effective. Based on the results obtained, matrices are proposed according to the age and material of the buildings for the typological classification of the structures.

    Resumen
    The performance of structural timber connections is of utmost importance since they control the global response of the building. A ductile failure mechanism on the global scale is desirable, especially in the design of structures in seismic areas, where dissipative components in which ductile failure modes need to be ensured are considered. Therefore, the knowledge of possible brittle failure modes of connections is crucial. The paper investigates the brittle failures of laterally loaded dowel-type connections in cross-laminated timber subjected to tensile load in a lap joint configuration through experimental investigations and analytical estimations. A set of 13 different test series has been performed with fully threaded self-tapping screws of 8 mm diameter and different lengths (40 to 100 mm) in cross-laminated timber composed of 3 or 5 layers (layer thickness range from 20 to 40 mm), giving rise to the activation of different brittle failure modes at different depths. Plug shear was among the most typically observed failure modes. A previously proposed model for the brittle capacity was applied to the tested connections at the characteristic level. As shown by the performed statistical analysis, the existing model is not reliable and mainly unconservative. A very low performance is observed (CCC = 0.299), but with a good correlation (c = 0.750) for the tests in the parallel direction. Further research work is required to improve the current model predictions and to gain a better understanding of the underlying resisting mechanisms.

    Resumen
    A study of axial¿moment interactions of bolted connections with double extended end plates is presented in this paper. Six connections, subjected to pure compression and flexural compression were tested for this purpose. After the experimental campaign, finite element models were developed and calibrated to accurately reproduce the experimental results. The models included initial imperfections to capture the possible buckling failure modes in the column web and the beam flanges. Moreover, the models with and without initial imperfections were compared for different sizes of the imperfection. Finally, the results obtained from the experimental and the computational models provided sufficient and adequate information to construct an axial-moment interaction curve for the tested joints.

    Resumen
    This article presents the latest developments of the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries of Europe and Latin America towards the development of sustainable timber construction. As most regions related to these countries have not traditionally employed timber as primary construction material, bringing the development of sustainable timber construction into fruition requires a wide range of actions, such as the elaboration of new educational programs, construction of demonstrative buildings, dissemination activities, settlement of public policies, elaboration of new construction codes, and the creation of new certification bodies. This article presents an overview of the state of the development of the different countries of Ibero-America, showing a very uneven development in the region. In addition to national analyses, a perception survey of 233 professionals from different countries was conducted, allowing for the identification of good practices, present gaps, and opportunities, as well as barriers for developing sustainable timber construction. It is concluded that in order to promote the development of the timber construction industry in the region, it is necessary to progress on regulatory, cultural, and material availability issues, where international experience, demonstrative buildings, and the implementation of public policies are crucial.

    Resumen
    Timber connections can fail in a ductile or in a brittle way. A structural design that guarantees a ductile behaviour in case of failure is desirable, especially when facing extreme situations such as earthquakes. This work discusses how the European Yield Model (based on a ductile failure mechanism), included in many standards, combined with a reduction of the effective number of fasteners may provide too conservative results, which may inadvertently lead to risky situations in which a connection assumed to fail under a ductile mechanism would actually fail in a brittle manner. Within this paper, a proposal to improve the discrimination ability to correctly predict the failure mode is proposed.

    Resumen
    Timber connections with small diameter fasteners that do not go through the whole timber member (such as screws or nails). may fail in brittle or ductile ways. In order to better understand their behaviour, an experimental campaign of tests of connections with small diameter fasteners loaded parallel-to-grain has been performed. The results and analysis of this work provide further information on the role of different parameters in the brittle failure. Existing models are benchmarked against these tests.

    Resumen
    Finite element models tend to overestimate the actual elastic response of structural timber connections. The paper shows how such overprediction relates to the modelling of the contact between fasteners and timber. The use of a control parameter called stiffness contact is proposed. After an experimental campaign, a method to determine it, based only on the geometry of a rectangular contact area, is proposed. The modeling adequacy is demonstrated by applying it to dowel embedment and moment resistant wood joint tests. The obtained results show good agreement with the experimental test series.

    Resumen
    The accurate simulation of steel structures requires a precise model of the joint behaviour. The methods proposed by the steel codes are based on either rotating springs or involved models of springs and rigid bars. In this article, a precise method to model the stiffness of 2D bolted steel connections is presented. First, the joint is accurately modelled using finite elements (FE). Then, the FE model is condensed to a cruciform element of 4 nodes (12 degrees of freedom) by constraining each side cross-section to a node located at its centre of gravity. Subsequently, forces are applied to each node to compute the flexibility matrix, which is then used to construct the stiffness matrix that is finally decomposed through singular value factorization. Following this procedure, a parametric study is conducted to build the training and validation sets of the metamodel. Kriging and Radial Basis Functions are chosen to metamodel and predict the stiffness matrices of the cases not included in the parametric study. Finally, steel structures are analysed with both complete finite elements and surrogate models, and the results are used to confirm the accuracy of the proposed method.

    Desde los inicios del análisis estructural de las estructuras de mampostería, se ha perseguido conocer su comportamiento teniendo en cuenta la influencia de los distintos elementos que lo conforman, evolucionando el análisis estructural de los arcos de fábrica hasta analizar el comportamiento fracto-mecánico de la mampostería. Este artículo presenta la adaptación del criterio de falla de Tsai- Hill para materiales ortótropos, aplicado al estudio de los arcos de mampostería. Ello se ha llevado acabo la adaptación en una subrutina VUSFLD de ABAQUS en lenguaje de programación Fortran. Esta subrutina se ha validado en atención a la falla del mortero, y se ha analizado el efecto del mortero en el análisis de un arco de mampostería. La subrutina implementada en un masomodelo permite observar la contribución del mismo a la capacidad portante de un arco.

    Resumen
    Timber connections with steel dowel-type fasteners may fail in ductile or brittle ways. The design of this joints was traditionally focused on ductile failure, assuming that brittle failure could be avoided by means of geometrical limitations. However, recent studies demonstrated that these assumptions do not always guarantee ductile failure. A new design model for timber connections with small diameter dowel-type fasteners is provided in this paper. Its improved accuracy is demonstrated by analysing an extensive database of experimental tests and comparing its prediction accuracy to that of existing models.

    Resumen
    The development of accurate structural modelling techniques is required to promote the use of timber as a renewable alternative to other structural materials. Due to their remarkable influence on the global behaviour of a timber structure, an accurate description of the performance of structural connections is needed. Particularly in the case of moment transmitting beam-to-column connections with dowel-type fasteners, such properties are difficult to obtain experimentally. This paper develops a finite element (FE) model that simulates the behaviour of these connections under quasi-static loading, with a focus on the estimation of rotational stiffness and load distribution among the dowels. The model is validated against short-term laboratory tests. Resulting friction between timber members due to the installation procedure must be considered, as it greatly influences the rotational response. Besides, non-linear behaviour of timber and a softened contact parameter have been implemented, and their influence on the FE model validation process is demonstrated.

    Resumen
    Timber connections may collapse in a brittle or in a ductile mode. The calculation models of timber joints are mainly focused on ductile failure mode, since it has been traditionally assumed that brittle failure was avoided by respecting a minimum spacing between fasteners. However, this assumption alone does not guarantee a ductile failure. This paper proposes a new design model dealing with brittle failure modes of timber connections with large diameter fasteners (those protruding the whole thickness of the timber member such as dowels or bolts). A comparison between the proposal and the existing models, using an extensive database of tests, is used to demonstrate the improved accuracy of the proposed design method.

    Resumen
    The consideration of brittle failure of timber connections requires an adequate evaluation of the capacity of the involved failure planes. Their correct geometrical definition is therefore of utmost importance to obtain an accurate assessment of their capacity. This article presents a new approach to account for the effective thickness of the lateral planes of timber members in connections with large diameter fasteners loaded parallel-to-grain when the fasteners remain in its elastic range, which allows to consider the uneven load distribution along the fastener in a simple way. The proposal is based on a fitting of a beam on elastic foundation model and only requires the slenderness of the fastener as a parameter. It provides a both simple and accurate way to calculate the effective thickness of timber elements.

    Resumen
    This work presents the experimental assessment of the joint behaviour of five steel beam-to-column end-plate joint configurations to assess (i) the effect of minor axis end plate joints in the behaviour of major axis end plate joints, and (ii) the interaction of two minor axis end plate joints. The experimental tests were performed with true size cruciform sub-frames specimens with boundary conditions intended to simulate unbraced frames. The sub-fames, with one to three beams, were loaded introducing multiple 3D stress states in the column unstiffened web, causing an interaction between the mechanical behaviour of two or three major and minor axis joints. The interactions were assessed in terms of the moment-rotation relations of joints, connections and column web. It was found that, for the slenderness of the column web tested, (i) the minor-axis joints have only a relevant influence on the stiffnesses of the major-axis joints and (ii) that, when two minor axis joints are present, their mutual interation increases both their stiffness and strength.

    Resumen
    Beam-column steel joints usually have a semi-rigid behaviour, and this must be taken into account when carrying out a global analysis of the structure. Rotational springs at each side of the joint are commonly used to simulate this behaviour by means of the component method, but asymmetric welded beam-column steel joints are not included in the formulations of Eurocode 3. This research work proposes a new methodology to obtain the stiffness of welded asymmetrical beam-column steel joints, by means of a cruciform element of 4 nodes and 12 DOF, whose stiffness matrix is directly obtained by means of the meta-modelling of its elements using Kriging's method. The authors have carried out a wide study of 754 different asymmetric welded beam-column steel joints, whose finite element models have been analysed, and then the static condensation method has been used to obtain the equivalent condensed stiffness matrix (Kcond) of the cruciform element for the joints belonging to the training set. These matrices have been used to build the Kriging's model, and the rest of joints have been used for testing the method, which yields very good results. The use of meta-modelling methods to obtain the stiffness matrix of the joint is not only easier in its application than the component method, but it also leads to a formulation that is more accurate, and also takes into account the interactions between the different parts of the joint.

    Resumen
    Torsional effects in joints need to be investigated in order to get a complete model of the joint and also to assess the real boundary conditions for the lateral torsional effects in the beams of structural frames. Phenomena such as: torsion, warping, lateral buckling, etc. are usually analysed assuming simplified boundary conditions, namely pinned or rigid, in frame analysis which can lead to erroneous and non-conservative results. With the aim of knowing the correct boundary conditions and real behaviour of the joints under torsion, an experimental program is carried out consisting of two tests of mayor axis doubled extended bolted end plate joints subjected to torsion about the axis along the length of the beam. These experimental results have allowed the validation of the finite element models carried out using the program Abaqus. Once the models are validated models, a parametric study is performed to assess the stiffness and resistance. This study also verifies that these joints behave in a semi-rigid way when compared with the torsional characteristics of the attached beam. Besides, the beam fails prior to the connection in most cases, and therefore, the joints can be assumed to behave as full-strength. Analytical expressions are proposed and checked with the FEM results proving that the proposed analytical formulae and the proposed mechanical model can predict the stiffness quite accurately, with an average error of 8.5%. Despite these joints can be classified as full-strength under torsion, an assessment of their resistance is done as well.

    Resumen
    The Internet has increased its potential exponentially since its inception. This progress has been possible due to new standards and technologies, which have also allowed the development of a new type of web applications that are fully integrated in web browsers. In addition, structural analysis has become a collaborative task in which different people have to share information and outputs of analysis programs. In this paper, an effective and user-friendly web application for the collaborative analysis of steel joints is presented. The latest cutting edge technologies in the Internet are used to address fundamental issues inherent in structural analysis software such as visualisation, interaction, and structural evaluation. Specifically, WebGL API, part of the HTML5 standard, is used to solve the visualisation issues of the proposed application. A rigorous analysis of simple and rigid structural joints is performed according to the standards and criteria set by the Eurocode 3.

    Resumen
    For safety reasons, ductile failure in timber connections with dowel-type fasteners is always recommended. It has usually been assumed that it can be achieved by fulfilling minimum spacing requirements between fasteners. However, recent works address the need to account for brittle failure modes (namely splitting, row-shear, and block and plug-shear) in connections loaded parallel-to-the-grain in an explicit manner, in order to evaluate them and achieve the desired ductility. This article describes the brittle failure modes and reviews the existing calculation models proposed by several authors ¿ some of them included in standards. Finally, the performance of these models is assessed against an extensive database of tests gathered from the literature following a comprehensive methodology.

    Resumen
    Dimensioning the stairs in case of fire is amongst the most important features in today architecture design. A bigger complexity of the buildings (mixed uses, crowded spaces, occupants with disabilities, tall structures, etc.) is added to new social habits, and the activities traditionally placed on the lowest parts of the buildings tend to occupy the upper floors. This article shows that the prescriptive calculations for the dimensioning of protected stairs are unable to face this challenge because they are based on simplified models, only valid for conventional buildings and distributions. It analizes the Spanish Technical Building Code, showing its weakness, and introduces the necessary performance-based design concepts to understand the problem. It concludes that any complex design must be addressed studying the real movement o f the occupants, that can be modelled with the use of computational tools.
