That implies the design of high quality layers of significant thickness, capable of providing the elastic environment needed to induce an adequate reaction of the terrain, through the dowels, on the concrete slab. This traditional solution poses a set of problems which determine the maintenance needs and dura- tion of the pavement, due to the following factors: • High punctual stress in the contact areas between the slab edges. • Plastification of the concrete in concrete-dowel contact areas. • Rusting of the dowels in the long run. • High thermal stress peaks, given the usually large slab measures. • The cutting and sealing of the joints is mandatory, as well as its maintenance. • A strong firmness of the soil is required. BITUMINOUS MIXTURE (OPTIONAL) CONCRETE SLAB DOWEL BAR SUB-BASE ESPLANADE Traditional pavement structure PERMANENT LOAD TRANSFER SYSTEM Our solution consist in the permanent load transfer between concrete slabs, that support them- selves one in another. As the pavement can be divided into a greater number of slabs, the resulting structure resembles a continuous beam, drastically reducing the stress supported by each individual slab. The critical load is at the center of the slab, and not at the edges.

Stehle © 2017 Samuel K. Stehle Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2017 The dissertation of Samuel K. Stehle was reviewed and approved* by the following: Donna J. Peuquet Professor Emeritus of Geography Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Clio Andris Assistant Professor of Geography Deryck Holdsworth Professor Emeritus of Geography Burt L. Monroe Professor of Political Science, Social Data Analytics, and Information Sciences Cynthia Brewer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract This dissertation explores the geographic and semantic spaces of local and international news media reporting on the Catalonian independence movement of fall 2015. It shows that the media intersects several geographic themes through its connections between Catalonia, sports, and other independence-seeking movements, most notably in Scotland. These connections are largely dictated by two factors: the scale and location of the media source, and the themes which these sources discuss in reference to the Catalonian movement. This project uses data-driven thematic analysis through Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to determine the primary topics present in the media. LDA defines probabilistic topics based on co-occurring terms within clusters of documents, and relies on several key parameters to generate a usable result. The highly variable semantic spaces which result from parameter combinations are scrutinized via this dissertation’s introduction and implementation of ‘interestingness’ measures.

  • District Heating and Cooling from Renewable and Waste Energy in Barcelona
    17th „Building Services, Mechanical and Building Industry Days” International Conference, 13-14 October 2011, Debrecen, Hungary DISTRICT HEATING AND COOLING FROM RENEWABLE AND WASTE ENERGY IN BARCELONA Christoph PETERS, Architect, Sabaté associates, [email protected] David SERRANO, Industrial Engineer, Districlima, [email protected] Àngel ANDREU, Industrial Engineer, Ecoenergies Barcelona, [email protected] KEYWORDS: district cooling, renewable energy, energy efficiency, urban planning. Abstract: District heating and cooling networks supplying thermal energy to buildings have been developed as part of the revitalisation process that has transformed two huge post-industrial areas into innovation and residential districts in Barcelona. Both networks are technologically innovative. One project recovers waste heat from an urban waste fuelled electricity generation plant for heating and uses sea water cooled absorption machines for cold production. The other uses biomass for heat generation and exploits waste cold produced when depressurizing liquid gas shipped from overseas for natural gas distribution for cold production. On demand side, highly energy efficient buildings are required to achieve a reduction of the carbon footprint of urban areas. One of the first apartment blocks connected to the district energy network serves as a demonstration that this is possible. The experience of these projects is being used to train urban planners in a continuous education programme in order to introduce energy efficiency and renewable energies into urban planning. 1. Introduction In recent times, Spain experienced cumulative annual growth resulting in energy demand almost doubling every decade. This pattern of growth is simply unsustainable. Although the progress of civilizations has so far been measured according to its energy consumption, in the near future it will be based on its ability to rationalize it.
