Field campaign on pressure on the crown wall at the outer port of Punta Langosteira breakwater
(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 ...
Diseño de pavimentos permeables en España: situación actual y necesidades futuras
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022)
[Resumen:] Los sistemas de pavimento permeable son una de las técnicas de drenaje urbano sostenible mejor consideradas para la gestión sostenible de las aguas pluviales. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivos ...
Photoelastic Stress Analysis of Mode I Fracture Toughness Tests Using PMMA Samples
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)
[Abstract] Rocks are usually inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials. The presence of foliation planes, grain boundaries or even microcracks may alter the stress distribution. In order to identify whether unusual behaviours ...
Revealing the spatio-temporal characteristics of drought in Mozambique and their relationship with large-scale climate variability
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract:] Study region: Mozambique. Study focus: Mozambique does not currently have the necessary tools for systematic monitoring and forecasting of drought at a subnational scale. The purpose of this study was to ...
Hydrofracturing tests on granite samples using a true triaxial device equipped with acoustic emission sensors
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)
[Abstract:] We present a series of tests performed on granite samples using a true triaxial device designed and built at the Rock Mechanics Laboratory (University of A Coruña). The experiments were performed using cubic ...
Anisotropic deformability and strength of slate from NW-Spain
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract:] Slates are metamorphic rocks characterized by the pervasive occurrence of cleavage or foliation producing a highly anisotropic mechanical behavior characterized by fissility. Deformability and strength of these ...
Drinking Water Provision and Quality at the Sahrawi Refugee Camps in Tindouf (Algeria) From 2006 to 2016
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] Drinking water provision has been a constant challenge in the Sahrawi refugee camps, located in the desert near Tindouf (Algeria). The drinking water supply system is itself divided in three zones which pump ...
Stratification Strength and Light Climate Explain Variation in Chlorophyll 𝑎 at the Continental Scale in a European Multilake Survey in a Heatwave Summer
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2021-10-30)
[Abstract] To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the ...
An UAV and Satellite Multispectral Data Approach to Monitor Water Quality in Small Reservoirs
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] A multi-sensor and multi-scale monitoring tool for the spatially explicit and periodic monitoring of eutrophication in a small drinking water reservoir is presented. The tool was built with freely available ...
Size effects on the tensile strength and fracture toughness of granitic rock in different tests
(Elsevier, 2023)
[Abstract:] This study investigates the tensile failure mechanisms in granitic rock samples at different scales by means of different types of tests. To do that, we have selected a granitic rock type and obtained samples ...
