Seawater intrusion (SWI) causes not only salinization of coastal aquifers, but also a reduction submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and nutrient fluxes to marine ecosystems. We have developed a small ...

The rapid evolution of the cruise industry in the last 50 years is evident. In the nineteenth century, cruise ships were simple modes of transport used by immigrants to travel on transoceanic voyages ...
Pinzón Ureña, Luis (Data de defensa: 2020-09-18)
Earthquakes are defined as a "violent shaking of the Earth's crust and mantle, caused by forces acting inside the Earth". In most cases, these forces are caused by an energy release process generated ...
Poliotti, Mauro (Data de defensa: 2020-11-04)
Modern guidelines for design and assessment of reinforced concrete structures under seismic and other extreme loads require nonlinear analysis. The complex structural response can be obtained by means ...
Zhang, Ningning (Data de defensa: 2020-01-20)
This thesis explores the potential of models based on the discrete element method (DEM) to study dynamic probing of granular materials, considering realistic particle-scale properties. The virtual ...
Tourchi, Saeed (Data de defensa: 2020-12-04)
Argillaceous rocks (Stiff sedimentary clays) provide the geological background to many civil engineering projects. In recent years, interest in these types of material has increased, because they are ...
Parera Morales, Ferran (Data de defensa: 2020-01-27)
The understanding of soil behavior is the foundation where the geotechnical engineering is built on. Experimentation is essential to improve this comprehension, and then to be able to translate it into ...
