Studying Spanish dams from a broad, architectural perspective helps to shed light on their main characteristics and raison d'etre. This standpoint provides the tools needed to address aspects related ...
The natural hazard risk is a contingent liability and, thus, a sovereign risk for national governments and, therefore, it is important to assess properly the potential losses in order to design suitable ...
Municipal services, particularly waste collection and street cleaning have unique characteristics that make particularly difficult their management and often make that the scientific community and ...
In the situation to make decisions about which risk mitigation measures -RMM- to implement and the performance level required, arises the need for a quantitative analysis of benefits that may be obtained ...
In 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 ...
Human 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 ...
El 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 ...
This thesis is focused on the enhancement and development of advanced methodologies for the dynamic characterisation of resilient elements used in railway applications. On the one hand, this thesis ...
The main target of this research is to develop a numerical model for debris flow simulations. As it is known, in general, this kind of flows occur in steeped mountain slopes. When dealing with the ...
En esta tesis se ha desarrollado y validado un modelo tridimensional de circulación costera en elementos finitos capaz de simular una región limitada del océano. La escala de longitud de las aplicaciones ...
