    La importancia que en numerosas obras de infraestructura tienen los desmontes en terreno rocoso, determina la necesidad de emplear métodos de proyecto basados en observaciones de campo, determinación de propiedades resistentes ...

  • Two decades of GPS/GNSS and DInSAR monitoring of Cardona salt mines (NE of Spain) – natural and mining-induced mechanisms and processes 

    Rodriguez Llovera, Xavier; Puig i Polo, Càrol; Lantada, Nieves; Gili Ripoll, José Antonio; Marturiá Alavedra, Jordi (2020-04)
    Article
    Open Access
    Cardona area presents surface rising and subsidence active movements. In 1999 a series of sinkholes appeared due to the infiltration of Cardener River water into the mine tunnels, damaging surface infrastructures. Since ...

  • Seismic risk assessment using stochastic nonlinear models 

    Vargas Alzate, Yeudy Felipe; Lantada, Nieves; González Drigo, José Ramón; Pujades Beneit, Lluís (2020-02)
    Article
    Open Access
    The basic input when seismic risk is estimated in urban environments is the expected physical damage level of buildings. The vulnerability index and capacity spectrum-based methods are the tools that have been used most ...

  • Automatic manhole extraction from MMS data to update basemaps 

    Alshaiba, Omar; Núñez Andrés, María Amparo; Lantada, Nieves (2020)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Basemaps are the main resource used in urban planning, building and infrastructure asset management. Therefore, they must be accurate and up to date to better serve citizens, contractors, property owners and town planning ...

  • Disaster risk reduction: a decision-making support tool based on the morphological analysis 

    Lantada, Nieves; Carreño Tibaduiza, Martha Liliana; Jaramillo, Nayive (Elsevier, 2020-01)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Risk management due to natural hazards is a multidimensional and complex problem since it requires the knowledge and experience of several disciplines. The effectiveness of risk management can be analyzed, inviting to the ...

  • A probabilistic approach for seismic risk assessment based on vulnerability functions: application to Barcelona 

    Aguilar Meléndez, Armando; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Barbat Barbat, Horia Alejandro; Ordaz Schroeder, Mario Gustavo; Puente, Josep de la; Lantada, Nieves; Rodriguez Lozoya, H.E. (2019-04)

    Risk assessment and management is an important step towards resilient and sustainable cities. Among many other perils, both natural and manmade, seismic risk is a major threat for resilience and sustainability. In recent ...

  • Quantitative analysis of risk from fragmental rockfalls 

    Corominas Dulcet, Jordi; Matas Casado, Gerard; Ruiz Carulla, Roger (2019-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Rockfalls are ubiquitous diffuse hazard in mountain regions, cliffs, and cutslopes, with the potential of causing victims and severely damaging buildings and infrastructures. A vast majority of detached rock masses break ...

  • Multi-temporal analysis of morphologic changes applying geomatic techniques: 70 years of torrential activity in the Rebaixader catchment (Central pyrenees) 

    Núñez Andrés, María Amparo; Buill Pozuelo, Felipe; Hurlimann Ziegler, Marcel; Abanco Martínez de Arenzana, Claudia (2019-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Covenantee:   Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya
    The monitoring of morphologic changes in high-mountain environments is an important, but complex task. Terrestrial as well as airborne laser scanning (TLS and ALS) and digital photogrammetry (DP) using Unnamed Aerial Vehicle ...

  • Earthquake risk scenarios in urban areas: a review with applications to the Ciutat Vella district in Barcelona, Spain 

    Lantada, Nieves; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Barbat Barbat, Horia Alejandro (Taylor & Francis, 2018-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    The vulnerability index and capacity spectrum-based methods used to assess the expected physical damage in dwellings are revisited, and their main advantages and shortcomings are analyzed and discussed. Then, a vulnerability ...
