Application of the multi-criteria analysis (MIVES methodology) for the management of the prioritisation of the maintenance of the water distribution network under sustainable criteria, i.e. considering aspects of an economic, social and environmental nature. The purpose of the Index is to evaluate the impact or risk that, from the sustainability point of view, each section of pipe has in the event of non-renewal. The concept of sustainability is understood in this case as the capacity of the network to continue operating while maintaining service quality levels without restricting or affecting the options available to present and future generations and without causing adverse impacts inside and outside the urban boundary.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Dimensioning of the standard cross-section of ceramic paving blocks for the new pedestrianisation projects for the streets of the Illa de Vianants (Terrassa) included in the Urban Mobility Plan (PMU) approved in 2016. Structural design and optimisation with non-linear calculation considering direct traffic loads and indirect loads generated by shrinkage and temperature variation, as well as different variables such as the width of the platform and the thickness and type of concrete slab.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Optimised design of the reinforcement of prefabricated concrete platforms for the terraces of restaurants in the city of Barcelona. These platforms allow the enlargement of the pavements and the development of the urban space with the aim of replacing parking spaces and gaining public space for citizens. The design incorporates the use of synthetic macro-fibres to increase the sustainability and durability of the prefabricated concrete of the platforms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
