EnGeoModels - Monitoring and Modelling in Engineering Geology
El grup fa recerca en l’anàlisi, monitorització i modelització en enginyeria geològica, especialment l’anàlisi de les característiques i comportament dels massissos rocosos i l’avaluació de riscos geològics. Les principals línies de recerca són: 1) captura remota de dades geològiques; 2) construcció de models 3D del terreny; 3) caracterització, monitorització i modelització de la ruptura de massissos rocosos i de formacions superficials (en particular, esllavissades, fluxos torrencials i despreniments rocosos); 4) avaluació de a perillositat, vulnerabilitat i el risc; i 5) desenvolupament de sistemes d’alerta primerenca i d’alarma de fenòmens d’origen geològic.
El grupo realiza investigación en el análisis, auscultación y modelización en ingeniería geológica, especialmente el análisis de las características y el comportamiento de macizos rocosos y la evaluación de riesgos geológicos. Las principales líneas de investigación son: 1) captura remota de datos geológicos; 2) modelización 3D de la estructura geológica del terreno; 3) caracterización, auscultación y modelización de los mecanismos de rotura de macizos rocosos y formaciones superficiales (en particular, deslizamientos, flujos torrenciales y desprendimientos rocosos); 4) evaluación de la peligrosidad, vulnerabilidad y riesgo; 5) desarrollo de sistemas de alerta temprana y alarma de fenómenos de origen geológico.
The group performs research on the analysis, monitoring, and modelling in engineering geology focussing on the analysis of the characteristics and behaviour of the rock masses, and on the evaluation of geological risks. The main research interest is: 1) application of remote sensing techniques for the capture of geological data; 2) 3D modelling of the ground; 3) characterization, monitoring and modelling of failure mechanisms of the rock masses and surficial formations (particularly, landslides, torrential processes, and rockfalls); 4) hazard, vulnerability and risk assessment; 5) design of early warning and alarm systems of geological processes.

Influence of the mapping unit for regional landslide early warning systems: comparison between pixels and polygons in Catalonia (NE Spain)
(2020-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work presents a prototype landslide early warning system (LEWS) adapted to real-time performance over the region of Catalonia (NE Spain). The system uses high-resolution rainfall information obtained from weather radar ... -
Simulation of full-scale rockfall tests with a fragmentation model
(2020-05)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper, we present the upgraded version of RockGIS, a stochastic program for the numerical simulation of rockfalls and their fragmentation, based on a fractal model. The code has been improved to account for a range ... -
Calculation of the rockwall recession rate of a limestone cliff, affected by rockfalls, using cosmogenic chlorine-36: case study of the Montsec range (Eastern Pyrenees, Spain)
(2018-04)
Article
Open AccessCliff erosion may be a major problem in settled areas affecting populations and producing economic and ecological losses. In this paper we present a procedure to calculate the long-term retreat rate of a cliff affected by ... -

Article
Open AccessThis paper presents recommended methodologies for the quantitative analysis of landslide hazard, vulnerability and risk at different spatial scales (site-specific, local, regional and national), as well as for the verification ... -
DebrisInterMixing-2.3: a finite volume solver for three-dimensional debris-flow simulations with two calibration parameters. Part 2: Model validation with experiments
(2017-11)
Article
Open AccessHere, we present validation tests of the fluid dynamic solver presented in von Boetticher et al. (2016), simulating both laboratory-scale and large-scale debris-flow experiments. The new solver combines a Coulomb viscoplastic ... -
Determinación de trayectorias de bloques rocosos en ensayos mediante videogrametría
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2017)
Conference report
Open AccessLa trayectoria de un bloque que cae por un talud no es fácil de determinar porque influyen muchas variables difíciles de cuantificar. Ello requiere del conocimiento de cómo estas variables afectan a las trayectorias. En ... -
Damage analysis of masonry structures subjected to rockfalls
