  • Aquifer contracts for groundwater resources planning in the MENA region: a means to support stakeholder participation? 

    Ezbakhe, Fatine; Pérez Foguet, Agustí (2018)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Groundwater resources play a key role in the water economy of the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. However, groundwater abstraction is estimated to exceed the annual groundwater recharge in 50% ...

  • Ocean classification of dynamical structures detected by SAR and spectral methods 

    Redondo Apraiz, José Manuel; Martínez Benjamín, Juan José; Tellez Alvarez, Jackson David; Jorge Sánchez, Juan; Díez Rilova, Margarita; Sekula, Emil (European Space Agency (ESA), 2016)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    We discuss a taxonomy of different dynamical featuresin the ocean surface and provide some eddy and frontstatistics, as well as describing some events detected byseveral satellites and even with additional cruise observationsand ...

  • Comparison of continuous and hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin methods in incompressible fluid flow problems 

    Fernández Méndez, Sonia (International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2017)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    A comparison of the computational efficiency between Continuous Galerkin (CG) methods, with Taylor–Hood approximations, and Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) methods is presented for the solution of the incompressible ...

  • Coupling of continuous and HDG methods 

    Paipuri, Mahendra; Tiago, Carlos; Fernández Méndez, Sonia (International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2018)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    A coupling strategy between hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) and continuous Galerkin (CG) methods is proposed in the framework of second-order elliptic operators. The coupled formulation is implemented and its ...

  • Models for evaluating shear strength on members with circular cross section 

    Turmo Coderque, José; Ramos Schneider, Gonzalo; Aparicio Bengoechea, Ángel Carlos (International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineers (IABSE), 2019)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Solid circular columns are often used as structural supports in bridges, buildings and foundations due to their simplicity of construction and because their strength is similar in any direction. This deem them very suitable ...

  • Landslide monitoring with staring-spotlight data: Canillo case study 

    Mallorquí Franquet, Jordi Joan; Hu, Zhongbo; Corominas Dulcet, Jordi; Gili Ripoll, José Antonio (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    One of the main applications of SAR interferometry is the monitoring of hazard risks related with urban subsidence and landslide instabilities. The different sensors available offer different carrier frequencies, image ...

  • Modelling the construction of cable stayed bridges stressed with the strand by strand technique 

    Lozano Galant, José Antonio; Turmo Coderque, José (International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineers (IABSE), 2019)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The temporary supports erection method is the most common way of building cable-stayed bridges. In this technique the bridge deck is first built over a set of temporary and permanent supports. Then, during the tensioning ...

  • Quality specifications and performance indicators for highway bridges in Europe 

    Strauss, Alfred; Fernandes, S.; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Mold, Lisa; Matos, Jose C. (International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineers (IABSE), 2019)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Across Europe, multiple management systems were developed with the aim of managing roadway bridges in an efficient manner. Although being generically similar, the condition assessment process, based in the as-sessment of ...

  • Inspection of existing bridges: moving on from condition rating 

    Hajdin, Rade; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Matos, Jose C. (International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineers (IABSE), 2019)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    It is widely accepted that safety and serviceability are primary concerns in bridge design. However, for the most of bridges’ service life, these concerns are addressed indirectly by a qualitative measure, defined herein ...
