Flood-related hazard criteria during the human evacuation of underground spaces through stairs: a state-of-the-art review
(2024-11-07)
Article
Open AccessDue to the increasing urbanisation trend and more recurrent flood events worldwide that are affecting exposed habitable areas like underground spaces. This state-of-the-art review presents a comprehensive analysis of the ... -
Effects of excavation size, rate, orientation, and depth on the hydromechanical response of argillaceous rocks
(Elsevier, 2025-01)
Article
Open AccessIn this study, a sensitivity analysis is performed to investigate the effects of excavation size, rate, orientation, and depth on the hydromechanical response of Callovo-Oxfordian (COx) argillaceous rocks. The elasto-viscoplastic ... -
Performance of nodal regions of reinforced concrete frame corners subjected to opening bending moments
(Elsevier, 2025-01)
Article
Open AccessDesign of frame corners in presence of opening moments is a task that has concentrated many research and engineering efforts in the past. It deals with the response of discontinuity regions, where beam theory does not hold ... -
Photosynthetic species composition determines bioplastics production in microbiomes: strategy to enrich cyanobacteria PHB-producers
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this study was to set the operating mode in regards to nutrients, temperature and light to use as a strategy to enrich a microbiome rich in cyanobacteria in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)-producers in order to enhance ... -
Digital image-based measurement of degree of saturation on moving soil
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2024-11)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a novel methodology that combines Particle Image Velocimetry - Numerical Particles (PIV-NP) and Short-Wave Infrared Spectral Imaging for the non-invasive measurement of displacements and degree of ... -
Experimental investigation of surface buoyant jet interactions with grid obstructions: implications for aquaculture
(Frontiers Media, 2024-11-08)
Article
Open AccessFreshwater inputs originating from terrestrial streams and gullies that discharge into quiescent, semi-enclosed coastal regions (such as estuaries, tidal inlets or lagoons), typically provide point sources of nutrients ... -
Assessing the potential impacts of floating Offshore Wind Farms on policy-relevant species: a case study in the Gulf of Roses, NW Mediterranean
(2025-02)
Article
Open AccessOur study investigates for the first time how floating Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs) technologies could impact policy-relevant Mediterranean species, focusing on planned OWFs in the Cape Creus/Gulf of Roses (Spain, NW ... -
Robot localization method based on multi-sensor fusion in low-light environment
(2024-11-06)
Article
Open AccessWhen robots perform localization in indoor low-light environments, factors such as weak and uneven lighting can degrade image quality. This degradation results in a reduced number of feature extractions by the visual ... -
Development of a multi-fidelity optimisation strategy based on hybrid methods
(Springer, 2024-09-14)
Article
Open AccessA multi-fidelity optimisation strategy has been developed in the present work, and its performance is illustrated through a series of test cases. The strategy is based on hybrid methods such that two genetic optimisation ... -
Advanced nonlinear soil-structure interaction model for the seismic analysis of safety-related nuclear structures
