Structural modeling contest 2021

Structural modeling contest 2021

Last 21 from December to 2021 occurred, in the facilities of the School of Industrial Engineering of Badajoz, belonging to the University of Extremadura, the structural modeling contest 2021, which could be presented structures designed by the students that, with less than 350 grams of weight, would have supported a load of at least 60 kp during the initial enrollment phase.

This contest counts, from its origins in 2001, with the support and sponsorship of Elaborex S.L., fruit of the close relationship that our company maintains with the university, with which he is currently collaborating on different projects.

Thus, Elaborex had the honor of delivering the first prize of the contest, gifted with 500 euros, to the strongest structure, called "Santa's ladder", whose authors were the students Marta García Morgado, Jairo Salcines Munoz and Victor Gonzalez Moreno, of the School of Industrial Engineering of Badajoz.

The winning structure, of 336 grams of weight, supported a total load of 198 kp, beating a total of 12 structural designs of the schools of Cáceres and Badajoz.

In the image included below you can see our technical director, Victoriano Henao Dávila, together with our colleagues from the engineering department, Pablo Valencia Abbot, and the Building Department, Pathology and Rehabilitation, Alfonso Carabias Antunez, in the company of the winning students of the "Goliath" award, y su diseño estructural “La escalera de Papa Noel”.

Current situation in the construction sector

Rapid recovery of the construction industry in Europe: : Construction volume will grow by 3,8% in 2021 and the losses incurred in 2020 are expected to be recovered this year. .

Not exactly in the case of Spain, as it was among the countries that suffered the most drastic drop in construction in 2020. In Spain, the sector is expected to grow by 7% and at least compensate for part of the losses. .

In contrast, Portugal presented a very strong performance 2020 in, and continues to climb with a 3,2% increase expected this year..

The civil engineering branch, which seems to be showing significantly above-average growth momentum in recent years, has the most promising prospects in the coming years. In Spain, it is expected to grow by 4,5% and in Portugal by 7%.

In Spain, it is expected to grow by 7,6%, thanks to the momentum of refurbishment 10,4%.  

Portugal does not have such a good outlook: this branch of construction is expected to fall by 0,1%, partly due to the drag from private non-residential construction 2,1%.

In Europe, non-residential construction, which was the hardest hit by the crisis, shows a weak recovery trajectory. Nevertheless, in Spain it is expected to increase by 4,9% and in contrast,  Portugal is expected to decline by 0,1%.

Residential construction will continue to offer stable growth rates, although this growth dynamic is expected to start to fall from 2021 onwards 2021. In Spain, new construction will contribute with a growth of 8%. However, this sector in Portugal only presents certain expectations in the world of refurbishment, where an increase of 0,7%.

CNC points out that the growth in refurbishment could have been much more significant, as the implementation of the Next Generation funds is being delayed more than expected. .

Therefore, in the Iberian Peninsula refurbishment is key for the sector.

According to Andimac, the average expenditure of Spanish households on construction and installation materials forecast for 2021 is 1.000 euros, so the sector's turnover would climb to 19 billion euros..

Tightness tests of geomembranes or HDPE sheets by means of the compressed air method in the test channel

One of the basic requirements that must be met in a waterproofing with high-density polyethylene synthetic geomembranes (HAVE TO) is the tightness in the joints between sheets that cover the enclosure to be waterproofed, either a raft, the press, canal, etc.

Within our wide catalog of tests in the different areas of accreditation, At Elaborex we perform the tightness test of high density polyethylene geomembranes or sheets (HAVE TO) Through the compressed air method in the test channel.

The purpose of this test is to verify the tightness of the joints between waterproofing plastic sheets, made by two parallel bands separated by an intermediate channel, que sirve para realizar la comprobación.

La idea no lo es todo

The Royal Academy of the language defines the concept of "idea", in its fourth sense, as the plan and arrangement that is ordered in the imagination for the formation of a work, be it a novel, a theatrical performance, a civil or building work.

That idea could also be considered as the germ of something that can change everything known so far., but that it can remain halfway to the success that is presupposed without the adequate accompaniment in the form of correct execution.

A good idea led Filippo Brunellesci to pass a selection process with more than 200 competitors. And despite it, it was the achievement of that idea that turned its double dome into one of the wonders that adorn the sky of Florence, and for which this goldsmith is remembered.
