Forecasting performance of cruise passengers : the Spanish ports case
(2021-01-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis contribution examines the passenger forecasting performance of the SARIMA method applied to cruise activities in the main Spanish ports. In this port system, the cruise activity market is characterized by different ... -
Modified unit cell approach for modelling geosynthetic-reinforced column-supported embankments
(2016-06)
Article
Open AccessGeosynthetic-reinforced and column-supported (GRCS) embankments have proven to be an effective construction technique for fills on soft foundations. The paper introduces a modified unit cell approach to model GRCS embankments ... -
Error estimation for proper generalized decomposition solutions: a dual approach
(2020-12-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe Proper Generalized Decomposition is a well established reduced order method, used to efficiently obtain approximate solutions of multi-dimensional problems in a procedure that controls the effects of the "curse of ... -
A constitutive model for the accumulated strain of unsaturated soil under high-cycle traffic loading
(2021-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe road base is normally situated above the water table and thus in unsaturated state. Experimental results show that the accumulated strains of the unsaturated road base aggregate under high-cycle traffic loads are ... -
Size effect on the hydraulic behavior of fluid flow through a single rough-walled fracture
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study provides a numerical approach to evaluate the effect of sample sizes on fluid flow through a single rough-walled fracture. The rough-walled fracture was generated by using mathematical statistics. Its aperture ... -
The failure of the Aznalcóllar tailings dam in SW Spain
(2021-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe Aznalcóllar dyke failed and released much of its stored, saturated pyritic tailings after a process of progressive failure in the foundation clay. 1.5 Mm3 of tailings and 5.5 Mm3 of acidic water were rapidly discharged ... -
Self-propulsion of active colloids via ion release: theory and experiments
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2020-03-13)
Article
Open AccessWe study the self-propulsion of a charged colloidal particle that releases ionic species using theory and experiments. We relax the assumptions of thin Debye length and weak nonequilibrium effects assumed in classical ... -
Assessment of the existing models to evaluate the shear strength contribution of externally bonded FRP shear reinforcements
(2021-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents an analysis of the performance of different existing formulations to quantify the FRP contribution to the shear strength of RC elements strengthened in shear by externally bonded FRP sheets. A large ... -

A time averaged steady state method for the Navier-Stokes equations
(2021-02)
Article
Open AccessThis work derives an incompressible Variational Multiscales time-averaged Navier-Stokes formulation that aims at obtaining accurate steady state solutions. Rather than using the standard time instantaneous velocity and ... -
Detection of damage using temporal variation in natural frequencies and principal component analysis
(2020-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDetection of structural damage is an important issue. Some techniques require knowledge of the undamaged state or in-depth knowledge of the construction materials used. The application of principal component analysis to ... -
Extension of the ζ‐method for calculating deflections of two‐way slabs based on linear elastic finite element analysis
(Wiley (John Wiley & Sons), 2021-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDeflections are among the most complex aspects of reinforced concrete behavior. Furthermore, deflection control is increasingly a governing criterion in design, especially in the case of two‐way members such as flat slabs ...
