Estudio comparativo de métodos para la evaluación de la susceptibilidad del terreno a la formación de deslizamientos superficiales : aplicación al Pirineo Oriental
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-05-14)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessHuman and economic losses caused by landslides have attracted the interest of the scientific community for the identification of the threatened areas and preventing their consequences. The goal of the landslide susceptibility ... -
Evaluación probabilista del riesgo sísmico de edificios en zonas urbanas
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2011-07-23)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessIn the present work a probabilistic methodology to estimate the seismic risk of buildings in urban areas is proposed. The seismic risk obtained through this methodology is expressed in terms of annual probabilities of ... -

Doctoral thesis
Open AccessEl análisis de problemas Termo-Hidro-Mecánicos (THM) en medios de baja permeabilidad es un problema complejo en el cual confluyen diversos factores. Esta Tesis está orientada principalmente al estudio de procesos THM ... -
Assessment of the magnitude-frequency relationship of landslides and rockfalls : application to hazard mapping
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10-14)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessDue to the exponential grown of the population within the last decades, the landslide hazard assessment of earthflows and rockfalls and their hazard mapping have become an essential tool for the territory management, mostly ... -
Processes affecting the efficiency of limestone, aragonite and dolostone in passive treatments for AMD
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10-30)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessWaters from mines (acid mine drainage-AMD), contain elevated concentrations of SO-24, Fe and other contaminant metals, which can persist in the environment during centuries. The purpose of AMD treatments is to retain metals ... -

Open AccessHuman impact on groundwater resources has led to a rapid growth of social concerns worldwide owing to an increasing presence of toxic chemicals released in the subsurface. Risk assessment provides the scientific tool needed ... -
Coupled heat and water flow dynamics in dry soils : application to a multilayer waste cover
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-05-27)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessUnsaturated flow plays an important role in numerous environmental phenomena. It is complex in arid regions, where liquid water fluxes are small and vapor fluxes become relevant, so that heat, water and solute mass transport ... -
Estudio experimental y análisis numérico de la desecación en suelos arcillosos
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-04-28)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis focuses on the experimental and numerical study of the desiccation processes of low-plasticity clayey soils that usually result in shrinkage and often in cracking. A comprehensive state of the art that defines ... -
Dissolved CO2 effect on the reactivity of the Hontomín reservoir rocks (limestone and sandstone)
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-03-13)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessA test site for CO2 geological storage is situated in Hontomín (Burgos, northern Spain) with a reservoir rock that is mainly composed of limestone (80-85%) and sandstone (15-20%). The reservoir rock is a deep saline aquifer ... -
Seismic vulnerability analysis of midheight steel buildings in Bogotá
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-02-09)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessA number of mid-height steel buildings have been erected recently in Bogotá. Their seismic risk might be high, given the new microzonation of Bogotá and the lack of comprehensive previous studies; noticeably, the response ... -
