    • A slow and complex landslide under static and seismic action 

      Pinyol Puigmartí, Núria Mercè; Carluccio, Gaia di; Alonso Pérez de Agreda, Eduardo (2022-02)
      Article
      Open Access
      A dam construction project for the heightening of a dam is threatened by a large landslide located in the Spanish Southern Pyrenees. A marked syncline structure, folding a flysch formation overlying a marl substratum, is ...
    • Crossing a landslide area by a motorway 

      Pinyol Puigmartí, Núria Mercè; Carluccio, Gaia di; Moya Sánchez, José; Bertran, Josep Maria; Alonso Pérez de Agreda, Eduardo (International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2024)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      A 1.5 km long stretch of a motorway built at midheigt of a valley eroded by an intermittent river, was almost completed in 2009. Budgetary restrictions led to a halt in construction. In the period 2009-2018, the motorway ...
    • Desplazamientos acumulados en deslizamientos inducidos por sismos mediante el método de Newmark extendido 

      Ruiz de Azua, Haizea; Pinyol Puigmartí, Núria Mercè; Carluccio, Gaia di (2022)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      s habitual en la práctica analizar la estabilidad de taludes y laderas afectadas por sismos mediante el método de Newmark, el cual permite estimar los desplazamientos acumulados. El método consiste en simplificar el ...
    • Dynamic large deformation modelling of soils including static liquefaction 

      Carluccio, Gaia di (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-11-30)
      Doctoral thesis
      Open Access
      Modelling geotechnical problems involving large deformation is a research field that arouses growing interest since it is fundamental for evaluating the risk and quantifying the magnitude of consequences. However, it is ...
    • Excavation-induced instabilities 

      Pinyol Puigmartí, Núria Mercè; Carluccio, Gaia di (CRC Press, 2019)
      Part of book or chapter of book
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      The aim of this chapter is to show the capabilities of MPM to simulate geotechnical problems dealing with soil excavation. The stability of supported vertical excavation in elasto-plastic material is analyzed. Results are ...
    • Layered construction process with the material point method 

      Avilés Murcia, Luis Ángel; Carluccio, Gaia di; Pinyol Puigmartí, Núria Mercè (Elsevier, 2024-07)
      Article
      Open Access
      This paper presents a novel procedure to simulate layered construction processes with the material point method (MPM), a method suitable for modelling large deformations. For the first time, the paper provides the MPM with ...
    • Liquefaction-induced flow-like landslides: the case of Valarties (Spain) 

      Carluccio, Gaia di; Pinyol Puigmartí, Núria Mercè; Alonso Pérez de Agreda, Eduardo; Hurlimann Ziegler, Marcel (2022-09)
      Article
      Open Access
      This paper examines a flowslide involving a glacial deposit of low-plasticity silty sand triggered by a karstic spring after a rainfall period. The work aims at explaining the triggering, propagation and kinematics of ...
    • Numerical modelling of Val d’Arán landslide with Material Point Method 

      Carluccio, Gaia di; Pinyol Puigmartí, Núria Mercè; Perdices Cos, Pau; Hurlimann Ziegler, Marcel (CIMNE, 2019)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Flow-like landslides in mountainous areas can cause extensive damages due to their high velocity and long run-out distance. This work presents a real case of landslide occurred on 11 May 2018 in Val d’Arán (Catalonia, ...
    • Simulación numérica de deslizamientos tipo flujo inducidos por licuefacción 

      Carluccio, Gaia di; Pinyol Puigmartí, Núria Mercè (2022)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Los deslizamientos de tierras tipo flujo se caracterizan por recorrer grandes distancias y alcanzar grandes velocidades. La simulación numérica de este tipo de problemas que involucran la dinámica de suelo saturado y no ...
    • Static liquefaction modelling of a landslide with the material point method 

      Carluccio, Gaia di; Pinyol Puigmartí, Núria Mercè; Alonso Pérez de Agreda, Eduardo (2023)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Flow-like landslides may occur when excess pore water pressures develop in liquefiable materials under saturated or partially saturated conditions, causing rapid movement of the failed mass and long run-out distances. Its ...
