THE AGENCY

STATUS AND FUNCTIONS

The CEDEX is a Public Agency dependent upon the Ministry of Transport (Ministerio de Fomento), and from a functional perspective it is answerable either to the Ministry of Transport (Ministerio de Fomento) or to the Ministry of Environment (Ministerio de Medio Ambiente); (Royal Decree 1136/2002, dated 31st October and Royal Decree 591/2005, dated 20th May).

Its activities include providing specialist technical assistance to the Ministries of Transport and Environ- ment, and being a public R&D&i reference centre in the fields of the public works and the environment, it makes available to society the technological breakthroughs achieved by dedicating part of its activity to the diffusion and transfer of knowledge.

The Agency likewise carries out other activities demanded of it from the rest of the public administrations or from the private sector, and collaborates closely with similar institutions in other countries, taking part in joint applied research projects. Also is present on the international scene within the framework of Spanish Cooperation for Development Assistance.

8 EL ORGANISMO R&D&I TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT UNIT ACTIVITIES IN 2006

The Unidad de Gestión Técnica de I+D+i (R&D&I Technical Management Unit) performed a variety of management and liaison tasks with a view to promoting Transport and Infrastructure R&D&I, as part of the Strategic Infrastructure and Transport Plan (PEIT).

The work started with the preparation of a catalogue of priority lines of research and research projects counting on the support of groups of experts in each speciality who knew how to pinpoint the requirements in this field. The catalogue is structured into 5 thematic areas: transport policy and economics, passenger transport, freight transport, rail transport and road transport.

The main aims of this were to identify the priority lines of research on a national level; to describe those lines and the master plans that could incorporate them, including a description of their contents and aims; to evaluate the approximate budget that would be required and the most suitable framework for carrying out each research project or line.

At the same time as this was taking place, the regulations for granting the subsidies for carrying out scientific research, development and innovation projects associated with developing the PEIT were published in Ministerial Order MFOM/2339/2006, dated 5 July 2006; this will be developed within the framework of the National Scientific Research, Development and Technological Innovation (R&D&I) Plan for the years 2004 to 2007.

These regulations served as support for the publication of the 2006 notification for the granting of subsidies to undertake research projects in the transport sector, which was published in the form of a Resolu- tion made by the Director General of the CEDEX, dated 18th July 2006 (published in the Official State Gazette (BOE ) on 24th July).

The notification contained certain changes with respect to earlier notifications published by the Ministe- rio de Fomento. Firstly, regarding the needs identified in the PEIT, the participation of companies and other private institutions, great importance being attached to collaboration between the latter and other R&D bodies, with a view to enhancing research in the area of transport. The participation of large research groups containing different types of beneficiaries is positively rated, especially through the formation of groupings and also through the presentation of coordinated projects. It must also be pointed out that the overall unit budget per project is 600,000 . €

Furthermore, the research projects that are the subject of this notification are set out in detail, by way of a response to the requirements detected by the Administration and identified in the PEIT. The notification of grants was published in July, 15th September was set as the deadline for accepting applications, and the subsidies were granted on 5th December 2006.

Subsidies were eventually granted to 17 projects, for a total of six million one hundred and fifty thousand seven hundred and fifty-six euros (6.150.756,00 ), and a further 39 applications were turned down. 80% € of the aforementioned amount was awarded in 2006 as the first payment for the successful projects, as was specified in the notification.

All of this was done in close coordination with the Unidades de Gestión de I+D (R&D Management Units) from other Ministries, to ensure that there was no overlapping where research subjects were concerned, and to ensure that researchers were not excessively devoted to specific subjects.

The number of staff by December 31st, came to 707 employees, plus 7 grant-holders. A total of 51 people joined CEDEX in the course of the year. Of these, 30 held a college degree.

An important activity in terms of personnel recruitment planning was developed during the exercise, both referring to civil servants as well as personnel having temporary research contracts. Some of the results of this activity will materialize in the course of 2007.

This is the case of the Public Employment Offer for 2006 that included 26 new admissions for positions of Civil Servants, of which, 24 are for graduate level positions and 2 for High School level positions.

Also, a call for 25 graduates with temporary research contracts was issued in April. As a result, at the beginning of 2007, 25 new graduates will join the 50 that by the end of 2006, are attached to CEDEX with this kind of contract.

The CEDEX Grant Program has been reviewed and updated issuing a new regulatory basis to establish two different types of grants. A first kind of grants, oriented towards the professional improvement and similar in characteristics to the ones that have been traditionally issued by CEDEX, with a call for 25 positions in 2006. A new type of grants, focusing in scholars pursuing a career in research through a docto- rate degree, has been introduced and will be issued annually, as from 2007.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

CEDEX budget for the year 2006 rose to 47,51 Million , with an increase of 6,49 M as compared to € € 2005. Out of this increase, 5 M , corresponds to the amount allocated to the Transport Research Program, € a new program managed by CEDEX for funding research projects in the transport area, linked to the PEIT (Infrastructure and Transport Strategic Program) and integrated in the National R&D Plan, whose first call for proposals was issued in the month of July.

Total expenses accounted for 42,92 M , giving an overall execution rate of 89,9% of the initial budget. € It is worth mentioning the significant improvement achieved in chapter 6, investments, whose rate of execution rose to 84,1%. The approval of the new regulatory basis of the CEDEX Grant Programme meant, however, a delay in carrying out its annual call that prompted a lesser completion of chapter 4 expenditure.

As regards the revenues generated by commercial activity, this accounted to 20,09 M , slightly below € the 21,42 M made in 2005. Expenditure associated to these activities (mainly purchases and wages of € personnel with research contracts) came to 8,16 M . €

In respect of the activity carried out by the different Centres and Laboratories during the year, this consisted of 393 projects, whether they were performed as part of collaboration agreements, external contracts or on CEDEX’s own initiative. Out of these, 110 activities were completed during the year. As a result of this activity, a total of 342 reports were issued and released to customers, 103 of which were issued as final reports.

A substantial part of this activity was performed for the Ministerio de Fomento (Transport) and Minis- terio de Medio Ambiente (Environment) that accounted for a 93,0% of the total.

The overall revenues generated by CEDEX in 2006 represent a self-financing rate of 43%.

Towards the end of 2006, the biannual Agreement signed by the CEDEX and the Dirección General de Costas expired, once the technical contents of the new 3-year Agreement had been established. It is hoped that the new Agreement will come into effect at the beginning of 2007.

The Campello and Peñíscola Beaches were monitored, amongst others, and where the Salinas Beach was concerned, the environmental evolution of the underwater area dredged in the vicinity of Cabo Vidrio was monitored, because a beach replenishment plan is to be implemented in the zone.

Further progress was made on the work involved in the 3-Year Framework Agreement signed in Dredging operations in the Port of Villagarcía. 2005 with the Dirección General de Marina Mercante, a variety of supplementary activities being carried out related to the Ship Refuge Site Plan. A variety of analytical activities aimed at identifying those responsible for discharging hydrocarbons from vessels were carried out, and work also continued on the task of developing tools for analysing the climatic conditions during shipping accidents and defining seasonal climatic conditions on maritime navigation routes. The Centro carried on monitoring the devices implemented in the Highly Sensitive Maritime Zone Numerical wave flume – particle method. around Canarias, and ongoing technical assistance was provided not only in environmental matters but also in technical assistance to IMO working committees and task forces. Other planned activities were not developed to the extent expected in 2006, but it is hoped that they take place on a greater scale during the course of 2007.

The CEPYC was also commissioned to carry out activities for other clients, and these included giving support to the Dirección General de Calidad y Evaluación Ambiental in aspects associated with evaluating the environmental impact of discharges into the sea from desalination plants, 12 actions being taken regarding desalination plants at the planning stage.

Other outstanding activities that occurred in 2006 included the 7th International Masters in Port and Pressure inventory – Water Framework Directive.

CENTRE FOR PORTS AND COASTS STUDIES 31 LOW-REFLECTION PORT WORKS: BREAKWATERS AND WHARVES

The nautical operability of ports, ship movements when they enter and leave ports and their behaviour when moored, is a field of great importance where improving port management is concerned.Wave reflection on breakwaters and wharves with vertical faces can have a negative effect on these aspects, so research into protection structures and innovative moorings that reduce wave reflection when compared to conventional levels, is an R&D&I line of great interest that is in the process of being developed at the CEDEX through experimental studies conducted using physical models, with a view to modifying the layouts of these structures in order to make them less reflective, but to do so without resorting to designs that are excessively complicated to construct or those that weaken their structural capacity.These activities have been developed within the framework of an agreement entered into with Puertos del Estado at the proposal of the Bahía de Algeciras Port Authority (APBA), and through a specific agreement with the company FCC Construcción S.A. (FCC).

The experiments were carried out in two stages, the first of which was aimed at establishing the most suitable layouts for low-reflection wharves and breakwaters, and the second aimed at carrying out a functional and structural analysis of the Two typologies rested, FCC. solutions that performed best at the initial stage.The testing facilities used at both stages were the Large Wave Flume at the Laboratorio de Experimentación Marí- tima (CEPYC), using scales that ranged from 1:8 to 1:18, minimising the model – prototype differences (scale effects), mainly due to the flow turbulence in the model. The models were positioned approximately 65 m from the paddle, gauges being suitably arranged to measure the incident waves and reflected waves. Pressure gauges were placed on both the wharf and the breakwater to measure the stress, and the breakwater was also equipped with a dynamometer.The purpose of the tests was to evaluate the functional and structural capacity of the wharf and the breakwater, which included assessing the wave energy dissipation, the overtopping and evaluating forces exerted upon the structures.

In the case of the tests conducted for the Bahía de Algeciras Port Authority (APBA), the wharf was composed of caissons 28.97 m long, 13.71 m wide and 18.50 m deep, with Ø 3.30 m cells, anchored at -17.50 m, 3 options having been analysed. The breakwater was also made up of caissons with circular cells that, in the first row, are open at the top and parapet.The dimensions of this breakwater were as follows: 43 m long, 17 m wide, 23.5 m deep and Ø 3.30 m cells, these structures being anchored at -22.10 m. The anti-reflecting chamber ran from the parapet crest at an elevation of 7.15 down to -4.30 m, and two layouts were studied, depending on whether or not all the cells were open, and in each case tests were conducted at 3 water levels.The tests conducted for FCC, were for square-cell caissons and 21 solutions were studied, grouped into two typologies, depending on whether the caissons had many openings on the front face or whether they only had one or two large openings, regardless of whether one row or two rows of cells were open (either partially or completely).

In the case of the APBA, the waves generated – for the prototype - in the tests, ranged from peak periods of 5 to 12 s for the wharf and from 6 to 14 s for the breakwater, the significant wave heights ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 m and 1 to 7 m, respectively, with Jonswap energy spectrum. The structures studied for FCC were subjected to a white noise wave spectrum, as well as both regular and irregular waves, with periods ranging from 5 to 15 s, wave heights between 0.5 and 4.0 m and water levels at elevations of 0.0, 0.5 and 1.0 m for the wharves and a fixed level at elevation 0.0 m for the breakwaters. The results of the tests revealed the dual wave energy dissipation mechanism phenomenon affecting

Overtopping structure, with and without openings, FCC. these structures, which is partly due to the turbulence inside the open cells and partly due to the turbulence generated by the outflow when the cells are emptied. Which of the two phenomena predominates depends on the depth at which the structure lies.

In the case of the wharves, the tests demonstrated that they were effective against wave reflection for the short period range (5 – 9 s) and at limited heights (0.5 – 1 m), coefficients of reflection (Cr) ranging from 0.30 to 0.80 (minimum of 0.27) being obtained, depending on the solutions considered; this demonstrates how usefulness some of the layouts tested are, when compared to the conventional solutions of caisson wharves without open cells, where Cr ≈ 0.95.

Where the breakwaters were concerned, the best anti-reflecting behaviour was achieved for periods ranging from 7 to 9 s, values for Cr between 0.33 and 0.70 being obtained. The most effective layout was the one where some cells were arranged frontally, with the bottom at the inter- mediate water level (of the 3 elevations that were tested). It was found that the grooves in the face were inefficient and that profiling the holes in the cells to increase the flow turbulence was inadvisable.A considerable reduction was achieved not only in the number of overtoppings (60 to 90%), but also in their volume and range, so that the overtopping took place on a much smaller scale than it does with conventional breakwaters.

The stresses measured for the wharves, showed that the maximum pressures exerted upon the open-cell elements where the pressure gauges were located, ranged from 5 to 6 t/m2, with a maximum at the slab of 10 t/m2, giving rise to slight horizontal forces that do not affect the design. Values between 20 and 30 t/m were obtained for the vertical forces, which in some cases could exceed the weight of the slab. The forces measured for the breakwaters were proportional to the significant wave height, the effects of the period being less than the effects of the wave height. A maximum force of 235 t was measured for the studies conducted for the APBA, 200 t being exerted on the caisson and 35 t on the parapet.Where the tests for FCC were concerned, pressures ranging from 7 to 10 t/m2 were reached on the pillars between open cells, and 18 t/m2 on the solid face lying between these cells.

Judging by the anti-reflecting caissons that have already been laid in place as part of the enlargement to the Port of Algeciras on Isla Verde, the caisson construction process is no more complicated than for a conventional caisson without open cells, the construction sequence being similar.The only difference is that when the shaft is being constructed, wooden pieces have to be embedded in its front panels, to create “fish- tail” joints, which enable the cells to open once the caisson has been anchored, its cells filled and its slab constructed, the front faces of the cells being demolished, as they break in the direction of the joints.

With respect to regulations, the Department worked with the Laboratorio de Hidráulica in drawing up the Water Re-use Network Standards, in collaboration with the Canal de Isabel II; these activities affected the chapters devoted to the general recommendations on water requirements and designing the network for watering parks and gardens.

Work was completed on characterising the Agricul- tural Demand Units (UDA) in the Mediterranean Basins in Andalucía, obtaining water profitability Launching the National Water Debate in Morocco. and productivity values for 110 UDAs.

As far as R&D&I was concerned, the department participated as users of the Geoland Project, forming part of the Sixth Framework Research and Development Programme and in the GMES context. “Global Monitoring for Environment and Security” (GMES) is a joint initiative launched by the Euro- pean Commission and the European Space Agency. The work revolved around the use of remote sensing to estimate the stress that irrigation exerts on water masses, Meris images being used for this purpose.

On an international activities, technical support was given to the Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional and the Dirección General del Agua in establishing a strategy and lines of cooperation with Bolivia in matters concerning water (how to manage river basins and irrigation). A proposal was also put forward for the environmental conservation of the Lake Titicaca Basin.

A proposal was put forward for a Water Training Programme for Latin American Civil Servants within Poster selected by the IV World Water Forum. the context of the European Initiative for Latin

22 CENTRE FOR HYDROGRAPHICAL STUDIES THE EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON WATER: STORY OF AN EFFECTIVE COLLABORATION

In 2006, the CEDEX completed the activities that it had been performing since 1995 as a member of the European Topic Centre on Water (ETC/W) of the European Environment Agency (EEA), he mission of the EEA is to “provide objective, reliable and comparable information”, which will enable the European Union and its member states to guarantee that the general public has correct information about the state of the environment, to take the measures that are required to protect it, and to evaluate their application”. The Eionet Network - European Environment Information and Observation Network- was established to develop this mission. The European topic centres a component of the Eionet Network, as a result of regulations passed by the European Communities governed by the EEA, and it is public or private consortiums with accredited technical capacity that perform different tasks within the EEA Programme.To be specific, the (ETC/W) is the topic centre that deals with matters concerning marine and inland waters. The consortium, which up to 2006 had been performing the functions of the (ETC/W) was a result of a merger between Operation and consumption indexes in accordance with the WIR criteria, 2003. the former Inland Waters Topic Centre and the Marine Waters Topic Centre in 2001, and is made up of 8 institutions from the United Kingdom, Austria, Denmark, Greece, France, Hungary, Norway and Spain (CEDEX).

CEDEX, through the Centro de Estudios Hidrográficos (CEH), developed work involving the use of water resources and their quantification in the EEA countries, placing particular emphasis of the specific problems affecting the Mediterranean countries. The first activities to be carried out in this area concentrated on collecting and analysing the data concerning water use in Europe, brought together in the reports that the CEDEX drew up on “Water resource problems in Southern Europe” (published in 1996) and “The sustainable use of water in Europe”. The latter report was published in three parts: “Part 1:The sectoral use of water” (1999), “Part 2: Demand management” (2001) and “Part 3: Extreme events – floods and drought” (2001). These reports captured the need to establish measures in harmony with the water requirements in each country, in keeping with their demand structure and consider- Rainfall obtained by EWQ for 2004. ing the importance of the management policies within the context of the Water Framework Directive, which was being developed while these reports were being drawn up.

The CEDEX played an active role in periodically evaluating the state of the environment in Europe that the EEA is carrying out.These evaluations are made public in reports that either deal with all the environmental questions or just certain specific subjects. The first group of reports includes those that collected data every 3 years from the EEA countries, such as the Dobris (1995), Dobris+3 (1998) and Kiev (2003) Reports – the latter report also covering the countries of the former Soviet Union - and Belgrade Report (to be published in 2007). The second group of reports includes those that are based upon the environmental trends of those aspects that are politically relevant to the European Union, so it will be possible to evaluate the environmental policies, and which constitute the series of reports of the state in 1995, 1999 and 2005. Furthermore, there are the so-called environmental indicator reports, in which the CEDEX participated in 2000 and 2002. When the EEA prepares these reports it makes use of environmental indicators, which are a set of files containing information that has been compiled and subsequently analysed, aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the environmental measures.The CEDEX was not only responsible for the use of indicators, but also actively encour- aged their utilization in matters associated with sectoral water use, the forces that lie behind that use and the different resource management tools. One of the works concerning indicators that is worth a special mention is the “Water Indicator Report (WIR)”, published in 2003, which was co-written by the CEDEX . The report comprises a compilation of 36 indicators given over exclusively to problems concerning the quality and the quantity of the water in the EU plus the 10 applicant countries, split into 4 major aspects:

CENTRE FOR HYDROGRAPHICAL STUDIES 23 Internal resource obtained by EWQ for 2004.

ecological quality , nutrients and organic pollution, hazardous substances and water quantity. The final section is composed of 12 indicators prepared by the CEDEX, which are: water available, water exploitation index, water consumption index (see Figure 1), sectoral water use, agricultural water use, urban water use, total reserves in reservoirs, saline encroachment, aquifer levels, water prices, water use efficiency and urban network All the above-mentioned reports are available in the EEA public report service (reports.eea.europa.eu).

The Indicators that belong to the so-called Core Set of Indicators (CSI) are considered to be the most relevant of all the environmental indicators; these are periodically updated through Eionet and serve for reference purposes when it comes to evaluating environmental policies. As a result of the consensus between the Eionet components, including the (ETC/W), the CSI comprises a total of 37 indicators that cover all the environmental aspects, of which 7 concern water quantity and quality (CSI18 to CSI24). All the above- mentioned reports are available in the EEA public indicator service (themes.eea.europa.eu/indicators/).

The CEDEX was also responsible for promoting and developing the CSI18: Use of the Resources, which is based upon the so-called Water Exploitation Index (WEI), defined as the relationship between the used resource and the renewable resource. The CSI18 also contains the information concerning sectoral water use.The WEI is serving as an worldwide indicator to find out the degree of exploitation of the renewable resources, establishing a series of thresholds on the basis of the extent to which the exploitation and management measures are developed.

The EEA’s main concern with respect to its function of collecting water quality and quantity data and analysing it in such a way that it is possible to offer comparable information about the most salient aspects, was to create a data compilation system following a series of methodologies that would enable all the countries involved to draw comparisons. The first report to spring from the compilation of the databases in matters concerning water was jointly prepared by the CEDEX, and published in 1996 as "International Water Databases”. Eionet-Water was established in 1996 (and was originally called Eurowaternet, and is still often referred to by this name). Eionet-Water (EW) is a surface water, groundwater and marine water quality and quantity measurement network, operated by the ETC/W. The network comprises 5 components: river quality, lake quality, groundwater quality, transition, coastal and marine water quality, and finally, quantity. Each network component was designed to respond to the EEA requirement of providing information on an annual and national level to prepare the water indicators. It is currently being updated so that the network can better adapt to the requirements of the Water Framework Directive. The data from the network is stored in the Waterbase, with the same 5 EW components, and is published through the EEA public data service (dataservice.eea.europa.eu).

Furthermore, the CEDEX was responsible for implementing and designing the quantity component, the so-called Eionet Water-Quan- tity (EWQ), as a result of the need to obtain information for comparison purposes concerning the renewable resource sin the different countries. EWQ has three types of stations (rain gauging stations, reference gauging stations and flow-rate gauging stations), which measure a total of 5 parameters: mean annual precipitation, maximum annual daily precipitation and recording date, mean annual discharge, maximum annual daily discharge and recording date, and mean annual discharge exceeded 95% of the time. Each country

selects its stations following a series of criteria that the CEDEX established in a guidance document published in 2003. The last time that the data was received, in 2006, EWQ comprised a total of 1,452 rain gauging stations, 1,771 reference gauging stations and 1,034 discharge gauging stations in 23 countries, with data from 1990 or earlier and 2005.

Not only the selection of the EWQ rain gauging stations but also the selection of the reference gauging stations was carried out with a view to obtaining an estimation of the annual precipitations and the annual internal resources of each country. The methodology established in the guidelines was originally tested with a pilot scheme, conducted by the CEDEX between 1999 and 2000, in which several countries volunteered to take part and it was calibrated with the data from the mean interannual data. After many different countries had shown great interest in participating in EWQ, a report was prepared in 2004 called “EWQ network representativity report”, which endorsed the methodology proposed for a larger number of countries and its application on a national scale, the results obtained being highly successful.

The CEDEX developed an application in ArcGIS, with a view to being able to display and spatially analyse the EWQ data, which enabled those interested to make a wide range of enquiries to Waterbase Quantity and receive information about the following: the number of stations with a wide variety of criteria, such as development sin time and the main statistics associated with the different types of data, the zonal averages for the rainfall and runoff values, so that they could estimate the resources of each country for a specific period of time (See Figures 1 and 2), monitor the most recent floods to affect Europe (see Figure 4) and detect the water shortage periods or zones.

As part of the ETC/W work associated with the Water Framework Directive, the CEDEX contributed by adapting and incorporating EWQ into the Water Information System for Europe (Wise), and by preparing a report in 2004 on adapting EWQ with a view to the potential development of an indicator for river hydromorphology, for which different methodologies and indicators were collected for the purpose of evaluating the ecological state of the rivers on the basis of their hydromorphological characteristics.

By way of conclusions to the active involvement in a project of these characteristics for 12 years, the following aspects must be mentioned where this fruitful experience is concerned: the recognition of the capacities of the European institutions concerned, not only the client –EEA- but also others with whom the CEH has come into contact during the course of the different tasks that have been developed, such as WMO and JRC; the exchange of experiences with the experts assigned to the project from the ETC/W members, including the two long-term stays of CEDEX personnel in the United Kingdom, an awareness of the specific nature of the management of resources in the European countries involved and the improvement to the CEDEX’s capacity to perform technical and management tasks in European projects.

CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS DEL TRANSPORTE CENTRE FOR TRANSPORT STUDIES

n 2006, the Centro de Estudios del Trans- porte carried on with its work in its three basic I areas of activity: highways, railways and transport management.

As part of its activities in the Laboratorio de Infraestructura Viaria and in the Área de Tecnología de Estudios Viarios, dependent upon the former, the Centro conducted tests on subgrade sections that it was commissioned to carry out for the Dirección General de Carreteras (Ministerio de Fomento) on the accelerated test track at the CEDEX facilities, in El Goloso. Most of the new sections that are to be tested were constructed during the course of 2006: six options for a high-quality subgrade Construction of subgrade at the full-scale accelerated pavement test track composed of soils and soils stabilised with cement. at the CEDEX facilities. This test, whose accelerated load application phase will commence in the second quarter of 2007, will complete the information yielded by two earlier tests that were also conducted for subgrades.

The Laboratorio de Infraestructura Viaria was commissioned by the Dirección General de Calidad y Evaluación Ambiental (Ministry of Environment) to carry out a variety of tests associated with using waste and industrial by-products on road pavements, especially concerning the use of tyre rubber powder in bituminous mixes. A study into the guidelines required for conducting leaching tests on aggregates coming from blast furnace slag was also completed for the same Dirección General.

36 CENTRE FOR TRANSPORT STUDIES Within the framework of a Management Agree- ment with the Dirección General de Carreteras, the Área used the CPX noise-level method to auscul- tate the noise emitted on part of the State High- way Network; this method measures and characterises the noise emitted by contact between tyres and the pavement. The analysis and interpretation of the data obtained will be used to devise corrective measures aimed at traffic noise abatement on roads. In the field of noise measurement, two new items of equipment were also purchased in order to enhance research work in this area. In view of the interest aroused in this subject, the CEDEX organised a Technical Workshop in October on “How the wearing course can contribute to traffic noise abatement on roads”, in which many international experts took part and during which the CEDEX presented the results obtained from the aforementioned auscultation activities.

CENTRE FOR TRANSPORT STUDIES 39 TECHNICAL WORKSHOP ON HOW THE WEARING COURSE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO TRAFFIC NOISE ABATE- MENT ON ROADS. AIMS AND CONCLUSIONS

On 2nd and 3rd October 2006, the Centro de Estudios del Transporte, in collaboration with the Gabinete de Formación (CEDEX), organised a technical workshop on how wearing courses can help to reduce traffic noise on roads. Several Spanish experts presented papers at the workshop, and contributions also came from Belgium, France, Denmark and Germany.

Interest in the subject matter for the workshop was aroused by the increasing importance that is being attached to noise in general, and road traffic noise in particular.In fact, estimations made by the European Union, included in the Commission’s Green Paper on “Future Action Against Noise”, indicates that more than 30% of the citizens living in the European Union are exposed to traffic noise, and that the external costs caused by such noise –including noise that affects health and quality of life– range from 0.2% to 2% of the GDP of the member countries.

Therefore, it is hardly surprising that, as a result of this, the European Parliament and the Council passed Directive 2002/49/EC concerning the evaluation and management of environmental noise. In the Spanish case, this Directive has been transposed through Act 37/2003 concerning noise, three basic objectives being fixed in this legislation: - To establish the level of environmental noise exposure through preparing noise maps. - To raise the general public’s awareness where environmental noise and its effects are concerned. - To adopt plan of action aimed at reducing and preventing environmental noise whenever necessary, while at the same time leaving acoustic conditions as they are when they are satisfactory. The initial data for determining where it is necessary to act will come from the aforementioned noise maps.

Working on the third objective was the main aim of the technical workshop. The administration is currently plotting noise maps. These maps use, amongst other things, input data that is based upon the different types of pavement, with a view to calculating the noise emitted by the traffic in a road’s sphere of influence. These input values are currently regarded as fixed, on the basis of the general classification for each pavement type. Although this is an oversimplification, the results yielded by the maps are considered valid for the purpose of pinpointing those zones where priority action must be taken to reduce the noise levels perceived by the residents. However, it is accepted that it would be advisable to obtain a greater in-depth working knowledge in order to obtain maximum effectiveness when taking the corrective measures that are to be implemented as part of the plans of action.

At present, two basic activities are being taken on highways, around which these plans of action are planned to revolve, either in isolation or in com- bined form: installing acoustic screens, baffles or other noise-reducing devices – designed to prevent sound propagation – and using sound-reducing pavements – which act directly upon the source of rolling noise -. The technical workshop organised by the CEDEX concentrated on the latter type of action.

One of the aims of the workshop was to obtain greater knowledge and assess the state of the art in Spain and Europe with a view to finding answers to a series of questions, including the following: - Is it possible to reliably measure the acoustic level of any pavement? It must be remembered that accurate measurements are going to determine the reliability of the conclusions that can be reached about traffic noise. - Can pavements be allocated an acoustic level exclusively on the basis of the type to which they belong? - Is anything known about the way pavement sound evolves in time, once pavements have been constructed? - Is enough known about the surface characteristics of the wearing courses that affect noise generation and what are the mechanisms involved in noise generation? - In view of all the aforementioned questions ….What is the current regulatory situation regarding the type of wearing course and traffic noise, and what are the future trends likely to be?

It was possible to reach the following conclusions on the basis of the papers presented at the workshop: - At present, there does not appear to be one single measurement that, in isolation, enables the user to define the sound level of a pavement type wherever it happens to be located.

This is because the method considered to be the most reliable (SPB), which provides values that are closest to what people actually perceive, presents so many limitations where applying it are concerned that it is not possible to carry it out with guarantees in any location. This problem becomes greater in built-up areas with nearby infrastructures, because of the presence of obstructions that affect sound propagation. It must be remembered that such zones as these are the ones that are most affected by traffic noise, because they are residential areas.

The other method (CPX) is held to be less reliable and characterises the traffic noise itself rather than what the human ear perceives at a certain distance. However, the advantage of this test lies Workshop presentation booklet. in the fact that it can be conducted anywhere.

40 CENTRE FOR TRANSPORT STUDIES Main measurement methods: SPB and CPX.

As a result, it would appear to be the case that in Europe, the trend is towards characterising a pavement’s sound level using a combination of the two methods.

- When establishing the sound-reduction level of the so-called “silent” pavements, it is customary to compare this pavement with a benchmark pavement. This reference varies from one country to another, so the abatement values referenced in the specialist literature must be interpreted with care and adapted to the specific mixes on each road network. Furthermore, the new pavement must be compared with a benchmark pavement that has also been recently laid, because if not, the presence of an uneven surface or deterioration will affect the validity of the comparison. - The types of noise abatement pavement identified by the different experts are basically the porous ones, especially the doubly-porous ones, but owing to their high cost, the use of these is practically limited to zones that are regarded as being very sensitive from an acoustic perspective. Some of the discontinuous hot bituminous mixes can also be included in the group of noise abatement pavements, depending on their macro- textures. In this case it is more complicated to make comparisons between different countries, because the grain sizes and formulations that are used range considerable. - Nevertheless, it seems to be difficult to establish the noise level of a pavement exclusively on the basis of its type, and it is considered necessary to study their surface characteristics. Although the surface characteristics of wearing courses that have a bearing upon noise generation would appear to be known, no studies have been submitted that characterise or quantify that effect. The need to carry on making further progress in this area was detected at this workshop. - There are still very few studies aimed at researching into the way the acoustic characteristics of pavements evolve in time. Where pavements in service are concerned, not only the time factor but also the state of repair must be taken into account, especially whether or not the pavement is affected by surface deterioration that could considerably increase the noise generated. - As far as international regulations are concerned, an attempt is being made to solve the problems caused by a slowing down in the process of standardising the measurement methods. Furthermore, certain countries are considering preparing and putting into practice a methodology that establishes an acoustic classification of the pavement types and maximum sound levels to be reached, as part of the quality control for completed works.

By way of a general conclusion, it could be said that the workshop organised by CEDEX confirmed the importance attached to these questions both nationally and internationally, as well as the need to carry on with R&D&I in the field of traffic noise abatement, by improving the acoustic characteristics of pavement wearing courses.

48 CENTRE FOR APPLIED TECHNIQUES STUDIES THE ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOLOGICAL NETWORK OF SPANISH COASTAL WATERS

The sample-taking network

The RVRA for Spanish coastal waters went into operation in 1993, as a result of an agreement signed between the Nuclear Security Agency (CSN) and the CEDEX, which has been renewed every year since. The network now has 14 stations that are distributed in such a way as to be representative of the Spanish coast. The samples for the ports are taken at the harbour mouth and the rest are taken at the surface, to ensure that they are not affected by the continental shelf.

Geographical dispersion, the large number of sampling points, the sample-taking frequency and the nature of the environment to be sampled all serve to make sample taking a highly-complex process. That is why the CEDEX relies on the collaboration of the Dirección General de la Marina Mercante, the Marine Safety and Rescue Association and the port authorities.

Functional diagram

The samples are encoded and recorded as soon as they arrive at the laboratory in the Área de Aplicaciones Isotópicas. After that, the task of separating the aliquots into which the different measurements and/or preparations are divided, is performed in the Radiochemical Laboratory. -Photo 12- The preparations in their respective supports are measured in the physical measurement laboratory.

The pH and conductivity of all the samples is measured, gamma spectrometry is carried out with ultra-pure germanium detectors, the index of total alpha activity is established with solid scintillation counters, the index of total beta activity is established with proportional counters, and the remaining beta activity is calculated.

The concentration of tritium is established by liquid scintillation, after electrolytic concentration.

Once the results have been checked, they are incorporated into a database where they are processed with the different applications,so that they can be displayed in graphic form, summarised form, on spread sheets, etc., which are included in the reports.

Sparse network

This network is made up of two representative points on the Spanish coast, one located on the Atlantic Coast at Cabo de Ajo and the other on the Mediterranean Coast at Cabo de Creus. 50-litre samples are taken on a quarterly basis at both points.The concentration of caesium–137 is established using detectors with a high resolution and very low background, concentrations of around Bq.m-3 being obtained.

CENTRAL LABORATORY FOR STRUCTURES AND MATERIALS 55 AUSCULTATING BRIDGES THROUGH DYNAMIC TESTS

Conventional inspections of bridges and viaducts on the transport structures, mainly railways and highways, requires the use of considerable specialist human resources, sup- ported by specific auxiliary mechanical resources for long periods of time. Furthermore, in view of difficulties involved in accessing the difficult structural elements, the inspection task cannot always be performed with the thoroughness and depth required using this procedure.

This explains why dynamic tests have been frequently used over the last two decades to establish the correct behaviour of the structure. Dynamic auscultation is based upon comparing the modal response of the structure at two instants in its useful working life and checking any potential deterioration, normally detected through a loss of strength deduced from variations in the frequency or amplitude in the vibration modes.The technique in question can be applied in laboratory conditions, but when dealing with actual constructions it has certain limitations (as is the case with nearly all experimental auscultation methods); these limitations are partly due to the fact that there may be other circumstances that modify the modal frequencies apart from the loss of rigidity of the Test on a railway bridge. structure, and also due to the fact that high resolution and great precision are required for frequency analysis, because structural damage must be considerable if it is to cause clearly observable changes.

In spite of this and other limitations, it is undoubtedly the case that dynamic auscultation not only provides overall information about a structure’s performance, but also because it is easy to carry out and does not affect the traffic flow. That is why a dynamic test is included in many systematic bridge inspection programmes, as well as other activities, for example, when inspecting successive cantilever built bridges on the national network.

The first dynamic tests to be conducted on bridge structures where performed on the railways, in view of the fact that actions taken on railway structures have a more mar- ked dynamic component than conventional road bridges. At the end of the 1960s, REN- FE commissioned the Laboratorio Central de Estructuras y Materiales to conduct systematic static and dynamic tests on railway bridges. The idea was to carry out the com- Theoretical modal form of a deck. pulsory tests that have to be conducted every 15 years on metal truss bridges. On this case, the measurement of the dynamic response was limited to the extent of the deformation and displacement with a test locomotive at different speeds. Comparison with the static comparison enabled the engineers to obtain the coefficient of impact.To begin with, the records were either taken with pen recorders or reflecting galvanometers, opti- cal fibre being used later. The amplitude measurements were taken by measuring with a scale directly on the records. In some cases where the structure vibrated in a steady state, it was possible to obtain the predominant vibration frequency, normally the basic frequency, by measuring the period between two peaks.

This type of dynamic tests, which was applied to hundreds of structures, was gradually improved where the recording and analysis were concerned, and in the final stage the processes of taking records and analysing were completely digital.

The first dynamic test to be conducted on road bridges in Spain to establish the vibration modes and frequencies - after certain trials were performed to perfect the test on Obtaining modal forms from experiments. the Azufre Viaduct, in Ponferrada -, took place on the Rande Bridge, in 1978, because it was such an important structure that it was essential to find out about its dynamic behaviour.The accelerations at different points along the deck were recorded on digital mag- netic tape and a computer with only a limited capacity - the PC was not to appear on the scene until several years later -, was used to obtain the first vibration frequencies. It must be pointed out that the dynamic tests conducted 14 years later on that bridge, in 1992, using resources with a much greater analysis capacity, showed that the frequency value was exactly the same.

When the structures are very important and the test needs very clear and uncoupled vibration modes to be perceived, or during periods when the signal analysis capacity is only slight, special excitation forms have been used, such as electro-hydraulic actuators Digital signal recording system. with excitation frequency sweeps, or instantaneous discharges of masses suspended from the deck.

56 CENTRAL LABORATORY FOR STRUCTURES AND MATERIALS Real time display.

The instrumentation devices are now much more sensitive and precise, so it is much easier to simplify the in situ data-taking campaigns, and the stresses that are exerted upon the bridge every day by the operating loads are used for this purposes, so it is not necessary to resort to extraordi- nary excitations, which are not only difficult to bring about but also inconvenient to users.

The two types of measurement apparatus that enable this approach are strain gauges (in practice, these are reserved for metallic structures), and accelerometers, whether these are of the piezoelectric, potenciometric or servo-mechanical type, both of which can be placed on any surface.

Both types of accelerometer offer a suitable range of sensitivities for the accelerations that constitute the response of the first basic frequencies of the modal analysis for our bridges. The principle of the dynamic test method involves securely fitting a series of accelerometers to the deck structure, which will then be able to pick up the accelerations to which different points of the structure are subjected.

The results yielded by a theoretical modal analysis of the structure, are of great help when it comes to choosing the best points for measuring the accelerations, since it comes to point out the most accurate transducer positions to excel at the number of vibration modes extracted from the dynamic tests, with the necessarily limited number of accelerometers available. Such analyses are nowadays possible with the increasing level and degree of discretization provided for the theoretical structural analysis by the most usual finite elements software applications available.

However, the above-mentioned reason is not the only one that makes it advisable to take great care over adapting these calculations to the real situation. The results also constitute a scale for comparison with the data that are obtained from experimentation, in view of the fact that the purpose of conducting the test is to obtain the real modes and to compare the modal forms and the frequencies one by one, so that it will be possible to draw objective conclusions about the state of the bridge or structure concerned.

Once a series of recordings has been completed that contain the traffic action values yielded by the instrumentation as a whole, it is then necessary to analyse the accelerations obtained at each point, not only with regard to the amplitudes in the time field but also with respect to the frequency content.

The Laboratorio Central has developed specific software that carries out this analysis by directly reading from the primary storage unit, which not only imbues the calculation task with precision - when it would otherwise be very slow and laborious to perform -, but also because its immediacy constitutes a source of feedback for the in situ activities, so either these activities can be increased or the devices can be relocated, once the experts have consulted this swiftly processed information.

In the coming projects that involve a real-time analysis of the dynamic response of viaducts on the high-speed railway lines, those activities concerned will attempt to make the most of the analysis of the signals that come from the bridges and are transmitted to a control centre.

The participation of the Laboratorio de Geotecnia (CEDEX) in drawing up geotechnical codes can now be regarded as a traditional activity. Three outstanding documents saw the light in 2006:

8 Building Technical Code (CTE)

The Ministry of Housing “Building Technical Code” was approved by virtue of Real Decreto 314/2006, dated 17th March. In 2003, the Ministry of Housing, in conjunction with the Instituto Eduardo Torroja, established different work teams to draw up each one of the six Basic Documents (DB SE) that contain the structural safety in the CTE: The Laboratorio de Geotecnia (CEDEX) was responsible for preparing the “DB SE-C Foundations”. From that time until the final Document was accepted, all the sectors with interest in the matter took part: consultants, developers, professional colleges, technological centres, technical associations and Universities. The DB SE-C updates and restructures the geotechnical aspects of the Basic Building. Standards (NBE), bringing the Spanish regulations into line with the European regulations based upon Eurocode EN 1997. Thus, for example, it has to establish the partial safety coefficients that are featured in Eurocode-7 in order to check the Limit States in the foundation studies. The aims of that document were to cope with the absence of legislation and fill in legal loopholes before its publication and to be able to have available a complete document that guarantees that Building foundations behave correctly when exposed to the actions that buildings might be subjected to during the construction process and subsequent use. The DB SE-C is structured into three distinct parts: • A first part that makes reference to the Code’s Basic Structural Document regarding Limit States to be stud- Figure 1. Real Decreto 314/2006 ied in the foundation project, and it defines the scope of the compulsory Geotechnical Study that must be carried out as from the date on which the CTE comes into force (17th March 2007). • The second part identifies the field of application for all types of foundations and retaining structures, and it contains a set of construction recommendations that must be taken into account to control and monitor the works. • The third part incorporates all the aspects concerning the excavations, fills and the control over the groundwater table that are needed to prepare the ground to the surveying criteria envisaged in the project. The factors that must be considered when improving and strengthening the ground are identified and the same methodology is used as the one in the second part for controlling and analysing the Limit States for the ground anchorage. Furthermore, a set of appendices have been included that provide it with an open structure through which different aspects have been incorporated, such as: in situ inspection techniques, classification criteria, reference values for guidance purposes, soil-structure interaction models, reference models for calculating the foundations and retaining elements, and reference standards.

As far as other exhibitions were concerned, a scaled down version of the Torroja Exhibition was sent to the Museum Cemento Rezola, in San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, at the request of the Grupo Cementero Rezola, the owners of the venue, where it was on show from 10th April to 25th June; from there, the exhibition went to Llanes, Asturias, to the Town Council’s Casa de Cultura, where it could be seen from 1st to 23rd July. Finally, in 2006 arrangements were made for future journeys of other exhibitions such as Iribarren. Ingeniería y Mar, Puertos Españoles en la Historia and Betancourt. Los Inicios de la Ingeniería Moderna en Europa, which can be visited in San Sebastián, Bilbao and Llanes respectively in 2007.

CENTRE FOR THE HISTORICAL STUDIES OF PUBLIC WORKS AND URBANISM 71 ESPAÑA EN EL MEDITERRÁNEO. LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DEL ESPACIO (SPAIN IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. THE CONSTRUCTION OF SPACE)

On 14th December 2006, the exhibition España en el Mediterráneo. La Construcción del Espacio was inaugurated in the Biblioteca Nacional, where it will remain open to the public until 11th March 2007. Thus an exhibition came to light that had taken years of preparation. The work was carried out at institutions of great national and international prestige, and more than 180 original exhibits are on show coming from el Museo Nacional del Prado, Archivo General de Simancas, Archivo de la Corona de Aragón, the Capodimonte National Museum and the San Martino Museum, both in Naples, the Institute of Science and Technology (Florence) and the Galata del Mare Museum (Genoa) amongst others. The exhibition explains how the construction of forts, ports, roads, hydraulic works and the urban planning activities enabled Spain to govern the vast territory of the Spanish Monarchy in the Western Mediterranean from the end of the 15th Century until the beginning of the 18th Century. All these works were a priority first for the Crowns of Aragón y Castilla, and later for the Spanish Austrian monarchs. Thanks to these impressive construction works, the Spanish Monarchs organised and defended their Kingdoms, from Cataluña and the Spanish Levante in Spain, as far as Sicily, Naples or Milan, and from the Islas Baleares and Sardinia to the enclaves in North Africa. The major role in this great achievement was played by the craftsmen who worked at the orders of the Spanish monarchs, as subjects with full rights, whether they were from Milan, Naples, Sicily, the Spanish Netherlands, Valencia, Aragón or Castilla. These technicians travelled incessantly from one possession of the Spanish Monarchy to another putting into practice the most advanced ideas and theories of the period. All of this served to make the Spanish Mediterranean an area that produced a non-stop flow of the most advanced and modern ideas of the times. The exhibition is split into eight major sections in order to make the contents more comprehensible to the visitors. It begins by explaining the medieval background to the expansion of the Crown of Aragón through the Mediterranean; the navigators and traders from Aragón established maritime consulates in Genoa, Naples, Sicily, Tunis, Damascus and throughout Asia Minor. The second part explains how when navigation from the Bay of Biscay and the English Channel, the traditional route used to reach Span- ish territories in Northern and Central Europe ceased, due to French and Dutch hostilities, the ports of Barcelona and Genoa became an essential link in what came to be known as the Camino Español. This 1,500 km route linked Spain with Italy through the two ports. They arrived in Milan (Italy) by land, before crossing the valleys that connect both sides of the Alps, to reach the heart of Europe, Belgium and the Nether- lands. Not only the Spanish troops used this route, known as the “Español”, but also convoys of mules loaded with merchandise and the representatives of bankers throughout Europe. This circumstance made the Duchy of Milan one of the most prosperous of all. This State was the key to Italy, because whoever controlled it gained the hegemony of the entire Peninsula. Here and in the other major land barrier, the Pyrenees, Spain fought for centuries with the King of France, the most dangerous neighbour. The Duchy of Milan carried out an impressive programme of public works: a thick patchwork of forts was constructed in the major cities and at the frontiers; roads were improved and new ones constructed; canals were opened up for communications and trade; the aim of these urban planning modifications that took place in the city was to convert a thriving Milan into a

major inland port, linked to the Mediterranean through the channelling of the River Po. Even nowadays, the valley sculpted by the River Adda, at the foothills of the Alps, just upstream from Lake Como, is still known as the Il Piano d’Espagna or the Llano de España. We then arrive on the shores of the Kingdom of Valencia, a territory that served as a defence against pirates and corsairs. When Suleiman II came to the throne in the Ottoman Empire, he made it clear that his aims in the Mediterranean were expansionist, which brought about further naval encounters. A complex and heavily-tiered coastal defence system was created, based on enlarging castles or defence walls and constructing defence towers along the coastline. Several islands are strung out along the waters of the Spanish Mediterranean: Ibiza, Menor- ca and Mallorca, which together with Sardinia and Corsica, belonging to Genoa, became bases for the navigation routes that linked the Span- ish Levante with Italy and the Barbary Coast. The Alboran Sea is the westernmost portion of the Mediterranean Sea and the point where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. It was delimited to the North by the Spanish Coast, which runs from the Straits of Gibraltar to Cabo de Gata and, to the South, by the Kingdoms of Fez, now Morocco, and Tremecen, in the western part of modern-day Algeria. As the 16th Century progressed, the coasts on both sides of the Straits where reinforced with forts, walls and defence towers, thus creating a formidable defensive network. In North Africa, the Spanish system of fortified port enclaves was organised by the grouping of areas correlated with the different security zones within the Spanish Kingdoms. Thus, Ceuta, Melilla and the Peñón de Vélez formed a security and control zone for the Straits of Gibraltar and Western Andalucía. The Spanish enclaves on the Algerian Coast, Mazalquivir and Oran, served the Kingdom of Murcia, and especially Cartagena, and in the same way. Valen- cia, and the Baleares served for the security and control of Algiers. Between Southern Europe, Africa and Asia, the Mediterranean was divided by the axis comprising Tunisia, Malta and Sicily, splitting its basin in two, the western part controlled by the King of Spain and the eastern part by the Turkish Empire. The Island of Malta, with a magnificent natural port, and Tunisia, with the Port of Bizerta, being the two strategic places for controlling Sicily and the Spanish Monarchy’s east- ernmost frontier. Sicily, the great supplier of wheat to Castilla and Aragón, was the farthest-flung Spanish position, so it served as an essential enclave where dominating the Central Mediterranean was concerned. Firstly, against the Turks, and later against incursions made by other European powers, France, England and Holland, a circumstance that led the Crown to make a great effort to provide the island with an exceptionally strong defensive system. The impression left by five centuries of Spanish presence can be seen particularly in its architecture – churches, castles, palaces, fish markets in Gothic Aragonés, Plateresque or Baroque style – and its cities: Palermo, with the enlargement of the Aragonés city walls, the construction of the largest quay in the Mediterranean, 600 metres long; the opening of the Calles Maqueda and Toledo and the creation of the magnificent Piazza Villena, known as Il Quatro Canti. Or Messina, the base for the Spanish military and commercial fleets that, together with its walls, its magnificent port, the San Vicenzo Quay, the Palazzata,Teatro de Palacios erect- ed on the seafront or the Carlos de Grunenbergh Fort, all serve to illustrate the magnificence of Spanish power. In the City of Naples, when it was under the auspices of the Spanish Viceroy, a series of port activities (Arsenal and Docks), urban planning works (Vía Toledo and Barrio de los Españoles), water supply and sanitation constructions (I regni lagni and the Carminagno Aqueduct) of special importance were undertaken; this was an initiative of special significance, because they were actions taken in a city with a Greek, Roman and Medieval past. The circumstance that paved the way for the urban transformations was the pressures brought about by the population increase with which the city had to cope. 15th Century Naples had no equivalent in the Christian world, reaching heights of demographic and construction splendour that have been virtually unequalled since then. Apart from Constantinople, it was the Mediterranean city with the greatest population, 250,000 inhabitants at the turn of the century. Naples became the jewel of the Crown.
