    Fragmentation in rockfalls reduces the size of the blocks and increases the number of fragments. It affects the runout and the impact energies, having implications in the associated hazard and therefore in the subsequent ...

    Montserrat Mountain is located near Barcelona in Catalonia, at the north-east cornerof Spain, and its massif is formed by conglomerate interleaved by siltstone/sandstone withsteep slopes very prone to rock ...

  • Applying Bayesian updating to CPT data analysis 

    Collico, Stefano; Pérez, N.; Devincenzi, M.J.; Arroyo Alvarez de Toledo, Marcos (CRC Press, 2018)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Evaluation of geotechnical parameters on a project site is a necessary step in geotechnical engineering. However, due to the inherent variability of soil properties and the lack of data, many unavoidable uncertainties arise ...

  • Sample quality examination on silty soils

    Mediterranean deltaic environments typically produce soil deposits in which silts dominate, granular intercalations are frequent and the mineralogy includes an important carbonate fraction. One question still open is what ...

  • Dynamics of slow and fast landslides 

    Pinyol Puigmartí, Núria Mercè; Alvarado Bueno, Mauricio; García Núñez, Luis Miguel (2020)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    The paper discusses some factors that control the shearing soil behaviour and the dynamics of landslides: strain-, strain rate-, and temperature effects. The strain rate effect on residual strength is discussed through ...

  • The effect of curing conditions on the hydromechanical properties of a metakaolin-based soilcrete

    An attractive approach to reduce the carbon dioxide footprint of deep soil mixing (DSM) is to replace Portland cement-based binders by geopolymers based on metakaolin. Safe design requires a good understanding of the ...

    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Rock mass behaviour model selection, in particular, to represent the post-failure behaviour and time-dependent behaviour of rock masses, are critical issues in the correct application of tunnelling design techniques such ...

  • Vegetation filtering using colour for monitoring applications from photogrammetric data 

    Núñez Andrés, María Amparo; Prades Valls, Albert; Buill Pozuelo, Felipe (Scitepress, 2021)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Photogrammetry is one of the widest techniques used to monitor terrain changes which occur due to natural process and geological natural risk zones. In order to carry out terrain monitoring, it is necessary to eliminate ...
