Simulation and analysis of damage progression in a mid-rise RC building during and earthquake
(2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyA five-story reinforced concrete building severely damaged during the Mw 5.1, May 11th 2011, Lorca earthquake (Murcia, Spain), has been monitored with an interferometric radar and has been numerically modelled with the aim ... -
Earthquake risk assessment and territorial management in the 'Pla de Barcelona'
(2022)
Conference report
Open AccessA probabilistic earthquake risk assessment was developed for urban planning and emergency response activities in the landscape unit of 'Pla de Barcelona', Catalonia, Spain. This assessment was developed under an integral ... -
Extension of 2D shallow water models to hydrological modelling
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper we discuss some critical aspects that should be considered in order to extend and apply a numerical model based on the 2D shallow water equations(2D-SWE) to distributed hydrological modelling. We also detail ... -
A machine learning-based surrogate model for the identification of risk zones due to off-stream reservoir failure
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyWith the modification of the Regulations of the Hydraulic Public Domain of Spain in 2008, approximately 70.000 owners of off-stream reservoirs are obligated to present a classification assessment on the potential risk due ... -
Modeling pressurized flow through hydraulic structures and bridges using a 2D-SWE-based model
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyTwo-dimensional (2D) hydraulic models solve the Shallow Water Equations (SWE) for the simulation of free surface flows. The necessity of considering in the calculations specific hydraulic structures, such as bridges, gates, ... -
Discrepancies on the spilled volume in the Aznalcóllar mine disaster
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe failure of the pond that stored the tailing of the mining activity of Aznalcóllar (1998) supposed one of the most catastrophic mine disasters ever worldwide. More than 400 scientific publications, including two special ... -
Real aperture radar: an interferometric technique to assess earthquake damaged structures
(2018)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyAmbient vibration testing has become a useful tool to assess the operational conditions of any existing structure, and allows the engineers to maintain a continuous monitoring in order to check its structural health ... -

Virtual reality stories for construction training scenarios: the case of social distancing at the construction site
(WIT Press, 2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe architecture, engineering, construction and operation industry has high accident rates, and its workers are susceptible to certain risks due to the variability of their worksites, the tasks they perform and the equipment ... -
Prevention of occupational risks in geotechnical drilling works through virtual reality training
(WIT Press, 2021)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe architecture, engineering, construction and operations industry has high accident rates as a result of characteristics of the construction site and work activities, the heavy machinery used and a lack of safety culture. ...
