Dynamic thermal rating (DTR) has been seen as an important tool for planning and operation of power systems, recently, smart-grid applications. To implement effective DTR system, it is necessary to install monitoring stations along the studied lines, with a tradeoff between accurate estimations equipment investments. In this paper, novel heuristic developed identifying number locations critical spans implementation DTR. The based on use historical-simulated weather data, obtained from...
Abstract Fragmentation is a common feature of rockfall that exerts strong control on the trajectories generated blocks, impact energies, and runout. In this paper, we present set four real-scale tests aimed at studying fragmentation rocky from global design field procedure to data analysis main results. A total 124 limestone, dacite, or granite blocks ranging between 0.2 5 m 3 were dropped different heights (8.5 23.6 m) onto slopes with shapes (single double bench) slope angles (42º 71º)....
Debris flows are fast mass movements formed by a mix of water and solid materials, which occur in steep torrents, source high risks for human settlements. Geophones widely used to detect the ground vibration induced passing debris flows. However, recording geophone signals usually requires storing huge amount data, leads problems storage capacity power consumption. This paper presents method transform simplify measured geophones. The key input parameter is velocity threshold, removes seismic...
Abstract. Monitoring of debris flows using ground vibration sensors has increased in the last two decades. However, correct interpretation signals still presents ambiguity. In Rebaixader monitoring site (Central Pyrenees, Spain) different stations are installed. At first station velocity signal is transformed into an impulses-per-second (low frequency, 1 Hz). The analysis data recorded at this show that shape impulses one key parameters to describe evolution event. second directly high...
Slope mass-wasting like shallow slides are mostly triggered by climate effects, such as rainfall, and soil–vegetation–atmosphere (SVA) interactions play a key role. SVA studied full-scale embankment with different orientations (North South) vegetation covers (bare vegetated) in the framework of prediction change effects on slope stability Pyrenees. A clayey sand from Llobregat river delta was used for construction laboratory tests showed importance suction strength hydraulic conductivity....
The stability and erosion of natural man-made slopes is influenced by soil-vegetation-atmosphere interactions the thermo-hydro-mechanical slope conditions. Understanding such at source mass-wasting important to develop land-use planning strategy promote environmentally adapted mitigation strategies, as use vegetation stabilize control erosion. Monitoring essential for calibrating validating models better comprehending physical mechanisms interactions. We approached this complex problem means...
Abstract. In the last decade, ground-based interferometry has proven to be a powerful technique for continuous deformation monitoring of landslides, glaciers, volcanoes, or manmade structures, among others. However, several limitations need addressed in order improve performances technique, especially long-term monitoring. These include reduction measurable points with an increase period observation, ambiguous nature phase measurements, and influence atmospheric component. this paper, new...
Abstract Torrential flows (debris and debris floods) are mainly triggered by precipitation soil hydrological processes. Most early warning systems in torrential catchments rainfall-based. However, this approach can result frequent false positives, due to its pure black-box nature, which water conditions neglected. We aim contribute the understanding of required for triggering considering also situ measurements content. Herein, monitoring data 12 years rainfall flow occurrence (2009–2020) 8...
