(2020-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFlooding events can produce significant disturbances in underground transport systems within urban areas and lead to economic and socioenvironmental well-known consequences, which can be worsened by variations in the ... -
A review of safety guidelines for vehicles in floodwaters
(2019-11)
Article
Open AccessThe development of guidelines for the design and analysis of street drainage systems to ensure safety of pedestrians and vehicles is an issue of fundamental importance. To prevent pedestrians and vehicles from being swept ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ... -
Climate Change Implications for Water Availability: A Case Study of Barcelona City
(2020-03-01)
Article
Open AccessBarcelona city has a strong dependence on the Ter and Llobregat reservoir system to provide drinking water. One main concern for the next century is a potential water scarcity triggered by a severe and persistent rainfall ... -
Criterion of vehicle instability in floodwaters: past, present and future
(2019-01)
Article
Open AccessThe stability of vehicles exposed to floodwaters on the roads should not be taken for granted, especially in floodplain areas. When a vehicle in floodwaters becomes unstable, it tends to become buoyant and, eventually, is ... -
Distribución de caudales en un cruce de calles con ángulos diferentes
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2011-11)
Minor thesis
Open AccessDurante sucesos de precipitación severos en grandes ciudades, es común que se produzcan inundaciones, de tal manera que el agua circula por las calles como si de una red de canales de tratara, causando perdidas materiales ... -
Electrical grid risk assessment against flooding in Barcelona and Bristol cities
(2020-02)
Article
Open AccessClimate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme events and, consequently, flooding in urban and peri-urban areas. The electrical grid is exposed to an increase in fault probability because its infrastructure ... -
Estabilidad de personas en flujos de agua
(2016-01)
Article
Open AccessNuestras ciudades están formadas por diversos elementos que están expuestos a inundaciones de magnitudes acordes al evento de lluvia que se produzca y según el diseño del sistema de drenaje urbano. Los elementos más ... -
Experimental study of the stability of pedestrians exposed to urban pluvial flooding
(2016-06)
Article
Open AccessPopulations in urban environments are extremely mobile throughout the day and in various weather conditions; accounting for this pedestrian mobility and security becomes high importance. Research into the security and ... -
Flood depth-damage curves for Spanish urban areas
(2020-04)
Article
Open AccessDepth‒damage curves, also known as vulnerability curves, are an essential element of many flood damage models. A relevant characteristic of these curves is their applicability limitations in space and time. The reader will ... -
