[VIDEO AVAILABLE] CIMNE Coffee Talk: “Prediction of coastline evolution in the medium term” by Elena Ivars and Lucie François Beaufour
ABSTRACT Speakers will discuss a study that aims to characterize the coastal dynamics of the beaches of Badalona and Montgat, near Barcelona, through high-resolution numerical simulations using the SWAN and XBeach models. Various wave climate combinations (directions,...
[VIDEO AVAILABLE] CIMNE Coffee Talk: “Probabilistic traffic load assessment of prestressed girder bridges considering corrosion evolution” by Alessandro Nettis
ABSTRACT Recently, in Italy, many catastrophic events have involved bridges and viaducts in transportation networks, with significant losses of human lives and disruption of functionality. A large number of these structures are simply supported, girder-type,...

[Video available] Severo Ochoa Coffee Talk – “Development and implementation of 3D hybrid-Trefftz finite elements to model high-frequency wave propagation in saturated porous media”, by Natà lia Climent
ABSTRACT One of the main problems one can encounter when modelling wave propagation in saturated and solid media using Finite Element Model (FEM) is the link between the wavelength of the wave and the size of the elements. For example, in the conventional FEM at least...
