Heave of a sports centre on anhydritic claystone formation
(CRC Press, 2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe development of fissures in a building placed at the site of an ancient quarry excavated in a claystone Keuper formation motivated a detailed in-situ investigation of the foundation material. Severe fissures and cracks ... -
Reducing water effects on the behaviour of coarse granular aggregates
(International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), 2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - author's decisionRockfill embankments, rockfill dams and ballast beds experience long term compression deformations under constant loading as well as collapse deformations when relative humidity (RH) increases. Particle breakage is at the ... -
Evaluación del tiempo de recuperación de edificios de concreto reforzado dañados por sismo
(Sociedad Mexicana de Ingeniería Sísmica, 2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policySismos recientes han demostrado la importancia de evaluar el tiempo que tardarían los edificios dañados en ser reparados, ocupables y funcionales nuevamente, debido a que el tiempo de inactividad puede generar pérdidas ... -
Including magnetotelluric data into multi-observable probabilistic inversion: implications for the physical state and water content of the continental lithosphereIncluding 3D magnetoteluric data into joint probabilistic inversions
(2019)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyMulti-observable probabilistic inversion [e.g. 1,2,3] is providing new insights into the physicochemical structure of the lithosphere and its complex interaction with the underlying convecting upper mantle. Of particular ... -
Coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour of a deep clay
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
Conference report
Open AccessAn experimental study on Ypresian clays –one of the potential deep formations in Belgium for the geological disposal of heat-emitting radioactive waste– was undertaken to systematically study its thermal properties and ... -
Multi-scale effects on the hydraulic behaviour of a root-permeated and compacted soil
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
Conference report
Open AccessWhile roots have been generally proved to be beneficial to soil mechanical behaviour, different and counterposed results have been found when investigating their effects on soil hydraulic response. Roots affect the ... -
Experimental and numerical studies on shear behaviour of stainless steel plate girders with inclined stiffeners
(2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyExperimental and numerical studies on shear buckling behaviour of stainless steel plate girders with inclined stiffeners have been carried out in this study. Material properties of the two adopted stainless steel alloys, ... -
Identifying codes from the spectrum of a graph or digraph
(LaBRI, 2019)
Conference report
Open Access -
Zero-thickness interface model with chemical degradation by acid attack
(2019)
Conference report
Open AccessCarbon dioxide (CO2) storage in abandoned oil/gas reservoirs is considered a viable alternative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. An important element of the risk associated with long-term CO2 storage ... -
Infrastructure, innovation and industry as solutions for breaking inequality vicious cycles
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2019)
Conference lecture
Open AccessCurrently, poverty and inequality are crucial social issues around the world. They demand objective evaluations with the purpose of defining policies and prioritizing actions. Most of the times the most important problem ... -
Evolución del acceso al agua y saneamiento en América del Sur mediante técnicas estadísticas composicionales
(Asociación Ecuatoriana de Ingeniería Sanitaria y Ambiental (AEISA), 2018)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis article seeks to explain what is happening in South America in water and sanitation issues; It deals with the treatment of data that were generated in the period of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), through the ... -
Joint evolution of access to water of urban and rural populations in South America through Compositional Data Analysis
(2019)
Conference report
Open AccessIn the international water and sanitation sector, it is usual to use multivariate statistical methods to monitor and report the overall progress of access to water and sanitation. However, the methods used do not take into ...
