HUMAN RESOURCES

The total number of staff on the 31st of December 2008 was 702 employees, 9 less than the number registered at the beginning of the year. This is the result of the incorporation of 55 new members, while the number of staff members that left was 62, 20 of them for retirement. 34 of the new members hold a university degree, increasing the percentage of graduate employees to 46% of the staff.

The Public Employment Offer approved for 2008 included 16 new posts for civil servants. 13 of these positions belonged to group 1, 1 to group A2 and the remaining 2 belonged to group C1 of the Scale of OPI Research Assis- tants.

With regards to the permanent staff subjected to the non-civil servant staff, 15 new posts were offered in an open call in 2008, as result of the accumulation of the offers of Public Employment of the last years. In addition to this selection process, there were mobility opportunities, affecting a total of 12 posts, and internal promotions, affecting 11 posts. All these processes have meant an important activity in the management of permanent personnel after a number of years in which this practice had been very scarce.

At the end of the year, there were a total of 52 degree holders among the staff on temporary contracts working on research programmes. In March, 16 university degree holders joined the staff. A new official announcement was made in September for the selection of staff for 34 new posts. The selection process will be resolved in the first months of 2009.

The second announcement of scholarships was made during 2008. The scholarships were aimed for training researchers wanting to read their doctorate degrees on areas or activities dealt with by the CEDEX. 12 posts were an- nounced, but only 5 were awarded. At the end of the year the total number of scholars was 21, 9 of which were part of the programme of PhD scholarships, while the rest were in the programme for professional development.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

The total budget of the organisation for the year 2008 was 48.25 Million Euros, 4.89 Million less than in 2007. This is due to the withdrawal of the funds allocated to financing R&D&i projects in the field of transport associated with the Strategic Infrastructure and Transport Plan (PEIT). These funds are now managed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation.

As highlighted in the table below, 85.5 % of the budget expenditure was used, amounting to 41.27 Million Euros. In relation to Chapter 6 ‘Investments’, the expenditure reached 9.6 Million, an increase of 2.1 Million from the previous year.

Income from CEDEX´s commercial activities amounted to 23.31 Million Euros, 11.5% higher than the preceding financial year. If we deduct the expenditures associated with those commercial activities, 7.29 Million, the net income amounted to 16.02 Million, representing an increase of 24% from the previous year.

The total amount of income generated by CEDEX´s activities resulted in an overall self-financing rate of 49%.

Referring to the Income Budget, certain deviations exist with respect to the original previsions. The reasons for these are as follows: the deviation in item 38 is due to refunds of grant subsidies, in particular those related to R&D projects under the PEIT framework; the deviation in item 39 is generated by to changes in VAT regulations affecting grant subsidies; finally, the differences in item 52 are the result of income from interest charges for late payments.

As far as the activity carried out during the course of the year is concerned, 170 projects were completed out of a total of 513 that featured the participation of the CEDEX including internal projects. As a result of these activities, 443 reports were prepared and issued, of which 129 were final reports.

However, over the last few years the work of the Hydrau- lics Laboratory on the field of dam engineering (all this time moving along with the work and in the direction of the GDW) has turned from the analysis of new dams to that in connection with the improvement of the safety of existing dams. In both cases, the main tool used in the development of the work is the reduced scale physical model. The Laboratory has become deeply specialised in such a practice.

The technological support that the Hydraulics Laboratory of the CEDEX’s Centro de Estudios Hidrográficos has provided to the GDW over the last few years on dam safety is particularly well reflected in the definition and scope Labyrinth spillway at the María Cristina Dam. of the necessary interventions for adapting a large number of existing Spanish dams to the Regulations of 1996 (mostly by producing physical models of the water evacuation elements). Each intervention requires individual treatment, yielding different solutions, and this is generating a valuable accumulation of knowledge.

In some cases, existing spillways are found to be already large enough to evacuate the probable maximum flood and only require small reforms (improvement of the mouths or the channels of spillways, for example) for improving their operation. This is the case, for instance, of the dams of Al- corlo (CH Tajo) or Gasset (CH Guadiana), analysed in our lab in the years 2004 and 2005 respectively.

In other occasions, it is necessary to carry out interventions of greater complexity, as is the case when the capacity of the existing spillways is insufficient for evacua- Dams analysed at the Hydraulics Laboratory over the last ten ting the probable maximum flood.

of research lines on dam safety that will, no doubt, contribute to the knowledge necessary in this complex subject.

On the one hand, since 2004, there is a research line focused on learning about the behaviour of rockfill dams subject to overtopping. The prime objective of the analysis is to understand the starting mechanism and development of the failure process of these dams when subject to overflows and set up a computer package for analysing and monitoring the process. The calculation method is based on the combination of advanced finite element and particle methods. Lagrange formulation is used for modelling the kinematics of the fluid particles as well as the deformations in the structure. The verification of the calculation method will be done by comparing the results with those of experimental analysis of scale models in different sizes. This calculation method will be a use- ful tool for checking the stability and, therefore, the safety of a rockfill dam under exceptional flood that generate overflows.

A second line of research opened in 2008, in the field of dam safety, focuses on increasing the water evacuation capacity of existing dams by special spillways, siphons and labyrinths. Typical configurations for the aforementioned draining devices will be constructed with the following objective: reaching general conclusions about their hydraulic behaviour in order to develop design criteria. Overtopping tests on rockfill dams.

Works for the Port Authorities of the Algeciras Bay are planned for 2009, including an important set of tasks for the design of the new infrastructures at the Port of Tarifa, following on from the numerical analysis of the disturbance at the new liquid cargo terminal in Alpetrol performed in 2008.

The Centro has started working on an experimental study in the Port of Málaga for the reduction of wave-induced overtopping on certain sections of the East dyke. A manoeuvre study for the Contradique and Azucenas at the Port of Motril has been performed as well as the completion of the experimental study of the typical section of the detached dyke in the western extension of the Port of Almería.

The Port Authority of Valencia commissioned a number of experimental studies, both for the Ports of Valencia and Sagunto.

The 3-year Agreement established in 2005 with the GDMN finished in early 2008. A new 2008-2010 Agreement has been devised with a more extensive scope. As a result, 22 reports were released in 2008, versus an output of 16 on the previous year. Worthy of note is the analysis of marine climate in relation to navigation safety. A study compiling recent accidents in the areas of the Strait of Gibraltar, North Atlantic LEFT and South Atlantic has been completed.

Another key issue featured in the Agreement is the fight against marine pollution caused by ship spills. The work on this subject will include analyses and experiments on dispersants and the development of specific cartography for their use and the use for other anti-pollution products. At the same time, the Centro has continued the work on the identification of those responsible for past oil spills.

As the continuation of the aforementioned projects, it is worth mentioning the update of the

The ninth edition of the CEDEX’s master on Port and Coastal Engineering has been one of the key educational activities organised at the Centro. It is expected that starting from 2009 the master courses will be run together with the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), providing students with an official academic degree. The Centro has also organised a course, in collaboration with the UPM and the University of Vigo, on the applications of the SPH method –Smoothed Particle Hydrodyna- mics– on maritime engineering, attended by both consulting engineers and related institutions. implementation for the large scale flume, the 19th annual Lastly, regarding the development of the Cen- completion of which is expected for the first se- meeting of the tro’s resources, it is worth mentioning the acqui- mester of 2009.

SUPPORT FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EUROPEAN DIRECTIVES ON THE PROTECTION OF COASTAL AND MARINE ENVIRONMENTS

The process for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in Spain started in the year 2000. Since then, the CEDEX has offered ongoing collaboration to the Ministry of the Environment through the Centro de Estudios Hidrográficos and the Centro de Estudios de Puertos y Cos- tas. During these years, the General Directorate for Sustai- nability in the Coast and the Sea (GDSCS) of the Ministry of the Environment has assumed the management of the implementation of the WFD in the area of coastal and transition waters. This is done in a context in which the com- in the initial characterization of the river basin districts plex distribution of responsibilities for these waters could re- (2004), arose as a further difficult task.

The radiological quality of Spanish waters has been monitored through the Environmental Ra- diological Monitoring Network (Red de Vigi- lancia Radiológica Ambiental, RVRA). This network features the continental, coastal and supply water networks, with over two hundred sampling points for measuring gross alpha and beta activity, residual beta activity, gamma spectrometry and tritium concentration, as well as the High Sensitivity Network (Red de Alta Sensibilidad) for measuring the activity of Cae-

The Instrucción EHE-98 was published in 1998, featuring significant innovations in its composition: the requirements for both reinforced and prestressed concrete are joined in the same code, the equivalent rectangular dia- gram is introduced as the calculation system and ample and detailed durability requirements are given for assuring the working life of the structure.

The year 2008 has been particularly intense in the field of Codes of practice with the publication of the new codes for concrete, Instrucción de Hormigón Estructural EHE- 08, and cement, Instrucción de Cementos RC-08. The participation of the Laboratorio Central on both these codes has been particularly relevant. Concrete voussoirs.

It is important to point out that this research has been carried out within the framework of the Convention of the CEDEX with National Ports, in particular within the intervention “Study of concrete in box dams”. This work, alongside the aforementioned results, has compiled use- ful information for the design of these structural elements, now included in the Manual de Cajones Portuarios (Manual for Caisson Docks) recently published by National Ports.

In relation to the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union, the Laboratorio de Geotec- nia applied to various calls: a project relating to the area of Surface Transport, focusing on the mitigation of vibrations in railway lines; in the area of environmental protection, the projects for rapid flood risk assessment and landslide initiation factors; coordinated with ELGIP, the Labo- ratorio participated in a call whose objective was to lay the foundations for setting up a Eu- ropean network of geotechnical infrastructure and laboratories.

Regarding national research projects, the work on the project entitled “Análisis de deslizamientos en terrenos volcánicos” (ANDROS, “Lands- lide assessment in volcanic areas”) has been completed. The project was financed by the Ministry of Education and Science and was coordinated between the CEDEX, the School of Geodesic Engineering and Topography and the School of Civil Engineering of the Polytech- nic University of Madrid (UPM). The activities related to this project include the development of constitutive models for volcanic soils, numerical models for the initiation phase of the landslide (seismic activity and rain) and numerical models for the propagation phase (finite ele- Survey of the retai- eting of the network in Aussois (France), the lo- ments and SPH).

MODELLING OF MARINE STRUCTURES FOUNDATIONS SUBJECT TO WAVE LOADS

The Laboratorio de Geotecnia of the CEDEX, in collaboration with National Ports, has developed a research project with the objective of improving the methodology for analysing the foundations of marine structures subject to wave loads.

The design of marine structures is a complex and mul- tidisciplinary subject, not yet fully understood. One of the key aspects to deal with is the design of founda- Figure 1: Failure modes for defence dykes according to ROM tions capable of supporting the self weight of the struc- 0.5-05 (Figure imported from ROM 0.5-05). ture as well as the wave loads transferred to the seabed. The European Union has recently funded various research and innovation projects related to this topic, such as the PROVERBS project “Probabilistic Design To- ols for Vertical Breakwaters” (MAST III programme, 1995-1998) or LIMAS "Liquefaction around Marine Structures" (FP-5 programme, 2001-2004). It is worth mentioning the results obtained in the latter project, published in a special issue of the Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering (ASCE) in July 2006, as the publication can serve as a bibliographic reference and a compilation of the latest scientific contributions.

cludes all the processes that take place in the flux-structure interaction: reflexion, flux through the rip rap, failure.

The interstitial stresses, as well as the hydrostatic load, were calculated for all the nodes of the surface defined in figure 4 and were introduced as data in the GeHo- Madrid program.

An indicator or marker of the liquefaction is the ratio p’/p’0 (effective pressure divided by the initial effec- Figure 4: Loads applied to the cofferdam structure. tive pressure). The value of this ratio is 1 in the initial state and 0 when the material is fully liquefied. Figure 6 shows how liquefaction starts under the two corners of the bedding layer. These two points are the most vul- nerable since the initial effective pressure is very low, close to 0. It can also be observed how the two fronts propagate under the cofferdam, fast at the beginning, and superficially, and more slowly when reaching the areas with higher initial effective stresses. The liquefaction of the areas close to the corners of the bedding layer produces a redistribution of the stresses on the foundations, reducing the dimensions of the area of the material with bearing capacity.

Regarding deformations, figures 7 and 8 show the con- tour of the modules and the direction of the displacements at time t=3500 seconds. The settlement of the cofferdam can be observed. We can also see how the affected area of the foundation under the bench is superficial. The maximum displacements, reaching over 3.5 m, correspond to the areas close to the corners of the bench where total liquefaction takes place and coincide with the equivalent plastic deformations that are larger than 10% drawn on figure 9. Underwashing and seabed erosion take place in this areas, the material stops being solid to become liquated material.

Lastly, the stability analysis is carried out, considering interstitial pressure dissipation, as well as the deformation of the ground that takes place throughout the process.

dieval period, a period that is key to understanding the origin of Spain, Eu- rope and the transcontinental exchan- ges. The exhibition presented a broad reflection of medieval ingenuity and techniques in the fields of construction and production. It showed the mechanic arts that Hugo de San Victor established and codified in his Didasca- lion: the Lanificium (the art of knitting cloth); the Armadura (the carving of iron and steel); the Navigatio (the art of navigation); the Agricultura; the Ve- natio (the art of fishing and hunting); Stirrup, Nasryd period.

In order to suitably present all these civil engineering arts and techniques, as well as those referred to by Hugo de San Victor, all of which comprise the resource and legacy of the medieval era, the exhibition was organised in five large theme areas:

I. Precedents. The Roman legacy and the Visigoth world: exhibiting a selection of pieces from the Visigothic world, the hinge between the Roman world and the Middle Ages and initial stage of an era when the influence of the past is still very strong. The display consisted of pieces of gold and silver work and written blackboards used for the work of scribes as well as for civil and religious documents due to the high cost of papyrus and parchment.
