Estimation of sediment accumulation in combined sewers to define best management cleaning activities
(2014)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyMechanisms governing movement of sediment in sewers are complex and dependant on many factors, for example, those of the sediment (density, particle size distribution, organic content, etc.) and others associated to flow ... -
Experimental approach to assess waste containers stability during pluvial flooding events
(EdiBios, 2021)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn recent years, several studies in the field of urban resilience have focused on the impacts of extreme climate events on urban services and their critical and vulnerable infrastructures. Before solid waste is transported ... -
Experimental investigation to estimate the discharge coefficient of a grate inlet under surcharge conditions
(2020-02)
Article
Open AccessPressure pipe flow conditions appear in sewer systems when flow exceeds the hydraulic capacity of the conduit, causing some outflow to be produced. In these cases, water exits through manholes and inlets causing surface ... -
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 ... -
