The popularization of the use of STRs as an alternative to traditional accommodation has significantly changed the accommodation sector. This is not a new phenomenon; however their exponential growth accounts for a disruptive scope in many cities. In this context, the article aims to identify the factors that drive the location of STRs in the city...
Dune systems have recently become fundamental natural solutions for the protection of the coast. The study of its morphodynamic features in storm situations is well documented in the literature. However, the morphological behaviour of these ecosystems when they are artificially modified by humans is still not adequately known. In this study, the mo...
The ninth International Symposium Monitoring of Mediterranean Coastal Areas: Problems and Measurements Techniques was organized by CNR-IBE in collaboration with Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, and Natural History Museum of the Mediterranean and under the patronage of University of Florence, Accademia dei Lincei, Accademia dei Ge...
The COVID-19 pandemic that has struck the world since March 2019 has established an unusual modus operandi for all of us. During this transient situation, some of the activities have been severely altered, especially those which are performed in indoor spaces such as classrooms, restaurants, or libraries. As physical distance is mandatory in most c...
Many factors can influence the shoreline retreat, such as: the maritime climate, anthropogenic actions like the construction of ports, dams, etc. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to understand the influence of each of the factors involved in beach erosion. This work tackles the problem of shoreline erosion from the study of the beach mater...
Sustainability requirements are gaining importance in the construction industry, which needs to take specific measures in the design and construction of concrete structures. The use of recycled aggregates in concrete may be of special interest. Recycling a construction waste will close the life cycle of the original materials (e.g., concrete). Thus...
Urbanization and anthropogenic activities have generated significant imbalances in coastal areas. This study analysed the shoreline evolution of the Bay of Cullera (Spain), characterized by strong urban and tourist pressure and with important human interventions during the last century. The evolution of the shoreline was analysed using 60 years of...
Photovoltaic energy production is nowadays one of the hottest topics in the water industry as this green energy source is becoming more and more workable in countries like Spain, with high values of irradiance. In water pressurized systems supplying urban areas, they distribute energy consumption in pumps throughout the day, and it is not possible...
En los últimos años, la crisis financiera global y la desaceleración económica que ha castigado a sectores como el de la construcción y obras públicas en España ha supuesto una drástica reducción de la demanda y calidad del alumnado que cursa titulaciones de Ingeniería Civil en todo el país. La investigación propuesta pretende explorar las sinergia...
A lo largo de la vida de las asignaturas de Ingeniería Portuaria y Costera y de Ingeniería Marítima se han implantado diferentes metodologías docentes. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar el mejor sistema de evaluación para mejorar el rendimiento del alumnado. Los resultados muestran que la metodología empleada por el profesorado tiene un cie...
In the past few years, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have achieved great popularity for civil uses. One of the present main uses of these devices is low-cost aerial photogrammetry, being especially useful in coastal environments. In this work, a high-resolution 3D model of a beach section in Guardamar del Segura (Spain) has been produced by employi...
Presentación realizada en el Curso "BIM en la Ingeniería Civil" acerca de los aspectos generales, contexto actual, metodología de trabajo e integración en programas de educación superior universitaria del sistema BIM de gestión de proyectos de infraestructuras.
Este estudio se centra en la costa de Guardamar del Segura, Alicante (España), fuertemente afectada por la presión antrópica y la erosión de sus playas. El principal objetivo es conocer la situación actual y evaluar la erosión dunar causada por la regresión de la costa. Asimismo, analizar el estado de la regeneración de 2011 y validar el uso de RPA...
Road markings play an important role in road safety because they provide significant information to drivers about the road. For that reason, they must be replaced when they are not correctly perceived by road users. To analyse which are the main factors that affect road marking perception over time, a test section was designed in a two-lane rural h...

Tourism makes an important contribution to the economies of some territories, especially ‘sun and sand’ tourism that uses public domain areas. Some of these areas are operated through concession systems. This article studies the evolution of 31 eminently touristic beaches in 5 provinces of the Spanish Mediterranean coast during the period 2005–2016...
Landslides can affect road infrastructures such as bridges, causing damages to its structures and, in some severe cases, the collapse of the whole or a part of the structure. In this work, a landslide-induced damage to a road bridge is presented. This bridge, which provides access to an industrial area in Alcoy (Spain), was built using precast beam...
Tras la reacreditación del Máster Universitario en Ingeniería Geológica, los evaluadores propusieron una serie de medidas para mejorar el ingreso de estudiantes. Entre ellas destacan la eliminación de uno de los itinerarios de especialización actuales y la publicitación del máster en otras universidades. Como alternativa, se plantea un nuevo itiner...
Human intervention on the coast has been intense, due to the source of wealth that the coastal areas represent, especially in the form of tourism, which has resulted in a rapid erosion of its beaches. This paper discusses the current state of beach management in the various competent public administrations on the Costa Blanca (SE Spanish-Mediterran...
La función de calefacción que poseen los materiales cementantes conductores presenta un importante campo de aplicación en las infraestructuras de transporte. La adición de fibras de carbono (FC) en bajas cantidades al hormigón mejora sustancialmente su conductividad eléctrica, lo que puede ser aprovechado para acometer actuaciones de prevención y c...
Los materiales multifuncionales, también denominados materiales activos o materiales inteligentes, poseen atributos más allá de la primordial resistencia y rigidez, que típicamente conduce la ciencia y la ingeniería en los materiales para sistemas estructurales. Así, los materiales estructurales pueden ser rediseñados para tener integración eléctri...

This paper aims to study the feasibility of highly conductive carbon fiber reinforced concrete (CFRC) as a self-heating material for ice formation prevention and curing in pavements. Tests were carried out in lab ambient conditions at different fixed voltages and then introduced in a freezer at −15 °C. The specimens inside the freezer were exposed...
