(English) This thesis focuses on the "sustainable regeneration of the historic centres of Iran's cities" under a comprehensive and participatory approach and consists of a collection of four self-contained articles and an ...
Los flujos con interfaces móviles (problemas de superficie libres y de dos fluidos) aparecen en numerosas aplicaciones de ingeniería. Los métodos presentados en esta tesis están orientados principalmente a la simulación ...
(English) The present thesis focuses on developing, implementing, and evaluating a comprehensive community and impact-based early warning system (EWS) framework to support the protection actions of authorities and citizens ...
This thesis aims at providing new knowledge on the, otherwise poorly known, molecular-scale mechanisms that operate during hydration of cement phases and dissolution of their hydrates. In order to pursue this objective, a ...
(English) In the realm of Computer-Aided Engineering applied to fast solid dynamics, the intricate mechanical behaviours exhibited by materials when subjected to strong dynamic forces, high speed impacts and complex ...
Els objectius principals d’aquesta tesi són dos: d’una banda estudiar l’estructura de la variabilitat de la precipitació a diferents escales espacials i temporals, i de l’altra, estudiar l’estructura dels errors en les ...
This PhD thesis proposes a p-adaptive technique for the Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin method (HDG). The HDG method is a novel discontinuous Galerkin method (DG) with interesting characteristics. While retaining all ...
This thesis presents an efficient methodology to couple Model Order Reduction techniques within the framework of geophysical probabilistic inversion problems. Accurate models of the interaction between Earth inner processes ...
Over the last 40 years, in Europe in general and in many mountainous regions in particular, there have been major instances of severe flood episodes (more than 100) which have resulted in more than 700 deaths and billions ...
Road traffic accidents lead to a number of significant problems, which are clearly reflected in the social costs (injuries, repercussions, deaths, etc.) and economic costs (prevention, healthcare, lost profits, etc.). This ...
La tesis doctoral propone una nueva metodología de optimización del problema de diseño rutas de distribución de muchos orígenes a muchos destinos en paquetería. La optimización minimiza los costes de transporte del sistema ...
MOBILITY provides accessibility to people, goods, services and information, favoring the implementation of socio-economic activities. The more efficient mobility becomes, the greater human development and quality of life ...
En esta tesis se estudian los efectos ambientales de la producción del cemento, incluyendo las diferentes etapas que componen su ciclo de vida, con objeto de estructurar y proponer las bases fundamentales de un Inventario ...
Las membranas son estructuras (sin rigidez a flexión) que conforman una superficie en el espacio, con espesor mínimo. Se aproximan a una superficie geométrica y trabajan sólo mediante esfuerzos de membrana (de tracción) y ...
Este trabajo tiene por objetivo desarrollar una estrategia orientada a resolver de forma computacional el equilibrio estático de las obras pétreas formadas por elementos unidimensionales empleando la analogía clásica de ...
Las biomembranas constituyen la estructura de separación fundamental en las celulas animales, y son importantes en el diseño de sistemas bioinspirados. Su simulación presenta desafíos, especialmente cuando ésta implica ...
Las mezclas bituminosas utilizadas en la ejecución de un firme deben conseguir determinadas características estructurales y funcionales requeridas en un pavimento flexible para garantizar su resistencia y durabilidad durante ...
Occurrence of debris flows has received little attention in the Pyrenees, probably due to the small risk faced by most of the debris-flow prone sites in this mountain range. Nevertheless, the event of Biescas, which occurred ...
Flash floods are one of the most devastating natural hazards, claiming numerous lives and tremendous economic losses. One of the main reasons for their catastrophic potential is the limited time available for precautionary ...
(English) This thesis aims to enhance the conceptual model of the Lake Chad Basin's quaternary aquifer by gathering updated hydrological, geological, meteorological, and groundwater data. Objectives include analyzing natural ...
