Dynamic calculation of breakwater crown walls under wave action: influence of soil mechanics and shape of the loading state
Maciñeira, Enrique; Peña González, Enrique; Sande, José; Figuero, A. (MDPI, 2019)[Abstract:] As a consequence of the action of waves on rubble mound breakwaters, there are loads—both on the vertical and horizontal sides of the crown walls—which modify the conditions of their stability. These loads ... -
Dynamical Study of a Moored Vessel Using Computer Vision
Figuero, A.; Rodríguez, Álvaro; Peña González, Enrique; Sande, José; Rabuñal, Juan R. (Springer, 2018)[Abstract]: Wind and wave effects have a major impact on the design of mooring and anchoring systems, whose purpose is to prevent the movement of the cargo and the moored ship while optimizing the operations which have to ... -
Estimation of moored ship motions using a combination of machine learning techniques
Carro Fidalgo, Humberto; Figuero, A.; Sande, José; Alvarellos, Alberto; Costas Gómez, Raquel; Peña González, Enrique (Elsevier, 2024)[Abstract:] The moored ship motions can cause problems for the efficiency of the operation, and for the people and equipment involved. Therefore, being able to predict movements and anticipate possible risk situations is ... -
Field campaign on pressure on the crown wall at the outer port of Punta Langosteira breakwater
Sande, José; Neves, Maria da Graça; López Gutiérrez, José Santos; Esteban, M. Dolores; Figuero, A.; Negro Valdecantos, Vicente (MDPI, 2022)[Abstract:] Punta Langosteira port, located in A Coruña (Spain), was monitored during the winters of 2017 and 2018, measuring wave pressure in the crown wall structure. Furthermore, the metocean variables were measured on ... -
Field measurements of angular motions of a vessel at berth: Inertial device application
Figuero, A.; Rodriguez, Alvaro; Peña González, Enrique; Rabuñal, Juan R. (Romanian Soc Control Tech Informatics, 2018)[Abstract]: The study and characterization of the oscillations of a moored vessel has a major importance in port operational efficiency, not only in the design of mooring and anchoring systems, but also in order to prevent ... -
