The CECOM group merges the extinct groups of Calculation of Structures and Construction (GCEC) and Mixed Structures (GEM). The CECOM group carries out research work in the field of experimental analysis and numerical simulation of the behavior of structural systems. At present, the group's activity is developed through two main lines of research: (i) numerical and experimental analysis and optimization of composite columns based on tubular steel profiles filled with concrete subjected to flexural-compression forces; and (ii) numerical-experimental analysis of the vibrations induced by the railway and its effect on the track infrastructures and structures close to the track.
