• New system of self-tensioning for long-span wooden structural floors 

      Estévez-Cimadevila, Javier; Otero-Chans, Dolores; Martín-Gutiérrez, Emilio; Suárez-Riestra, Félix; Lamas-López, Valentín (TU Verlag Wien, 2016)
      [Abstract] A self-tensioning system that improves the behavior of elements under bending is described, from a resistant point of view such as deformations. The system is based in a force multiplying device tied in the ...
