Article
Open AccessA certain acceptable level of risk in a major drainage system must be established since urban areas cannot be made entirely free from pluvial flooding. Among the diversity of flood risks in urban areas, direct damage to ... -
A simple hydrological approach to design inlet systems in urban areas according to risk criteria
(Drexel University. College of Information Science and Technology, 2006)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyStorm drain inlets are used to collect urban runoff and discharge it to an underground sewer system. Inadequate attention to inlet capacity can cause undue hazard to the security of many urban activities. Inlets can be ... -

(2015-04-14)
Article
Open AccessAn important achievement is the invention and development of techniques for measurement of velocities in hydraulic engineering applications. Knowledge of the technological advances in digital cameras with high resolution ... -
An approach to the modelling of stability of waste containers during urban flooding
(2020-01)
Article
Open AccessBefore the solid waste is dumped in landfills, the collection process for large Spanish cities starts from a regular collection of household waste municipal service which is carried out through street containers. When an ... -
Analysis of extreme flooding events through a calibrated 1D/2D coupled model: the case of Barcelona (Spain)
(International Water Association (IWA), 2015-05)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents the results of a calibrated 1D/2D coupled model simulating surface and sewer flows in Barcelona. The model covers 44 km2 of the city land involving 241 km of sewers. It was developed in order to assess ... -
Analysis of pedestrians instability during the evacuation of underground flooded spaces: the experimental and numerical approach proposed by Favour project
(EdiBios, 2024)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyDue to the recent dramatic flooding events in metro stations worldwide, an appropriate response of such infrastructures is essential to ensure the safety of their users. In this paper, an analysis of the hydraulic conditions ... -
Assessment of human stability in sewer systems during dry weather conditions
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-11)
Article
Open AccessInspection and maintenance tasks are essential to guarantee the correct operation of sewer drainage networks. In combined sewers, these tasks are generally carried out during dry periods when only wastewater flow circulates ... -
Assessment of inlet efficiency through a 3D simulation: numerical and experimental comparison
(2016-10-01)
Article
Open AccessInlet efficiency is a requirement for characterizing the flow transfers between surface and sewer flow during rain events. The dual drainage approach is based on the joint analysis of both upper and lower drainage levels, ... -
Assessment of the ability of a volume of fluid model to reproduce the efficiency of a continuous transverse gully with grate
(2016-10)
Article
Open AccessThis paper deals with the numerical investigation of the drainage efficiency of a continuous transverse gully with the grate’s slots aligned in the flow direction and compared with experimental data sets. The gully efficiency ... -
Assessment of the effectiveness of structural and nonstructural measures to cope with global change impacts in Barcelona
(John Wiley & sons, 2018-01)
Article
Open AccessIn a context of high uncertainty of hydro-climatic variables, the development of updated methods to assess climate change impacts is as important as the provision of improved climate change data. This article presents the ... -
Assessment of urban flood resilience in Barcelona for current and future scenarios: the RESCCUE project
(2020-07)
Article
Open AccessThe results of recent climate projections for the city of Barcelona show a relevant increment of the maximum rainfall intensities for the period 2071–2100. Considering the city as a system of systems, urban resilience is ... -
