PRESENTATION
he CEDEX Strategic Plan, included in the National R&D&I Plan (2004 – 2007), indicates its
ambition to establish itself as the benchmark
Spanish centre where civil engineering, construction
and the associate environment are concerned, so that
it can play a leading role in matters concerning R&D&I.
It is achieving this aim in five major fields of activity:
enhancing the R&D&I inherent to the CEDEX and the
civil engineering and environment sector as a whole;
increasing activity on an international level; optimising
the use of human resources and facilities; opening up
to society and implementing internal management procedures that will serve to support a commitment to ongoing improvement with respect to the quality of the
CEDEX’s actions.
T
2005 proved to be a very fruitful year in taking initiatives for making progress in all these areas, thanks to
an extremely positive working environment. Enhancing R&D&I activities is a Government priority, and in
the area of Civil Engineering field, a very weak initial
situation is combined with a sector in the middle of a
process of expansion and with an incipient interest in
making itself more competitive through technological
innovation. In 2005, the CEDEX carried on increasing
its R&D&I activities with 6 of its own projects, financed
by its own budgets, and also took part in projects that
form part of the National Plan and the E.U. Framework
Programme. Furthermore, in cooperation with other
Ministerio de Fomento Directorates, in 2005 the
CEDEX started the work involved in preparing the Sectorial R&D&I Plan that was commissioned as part of
the Strategic Infrastructure and Transport Plan (PEIT).
International activity intensified as a result of the
CEDEX joining the European Conference of Transport
Research Institutes (ECTRI), the European coordinator that brings together all the main public transport
research centres, the formalization of the Red de Institutos Nacionales Iberoamericanos de Ingeniería e
Investigación Hidráulica and the joint evaluation and

updating of the agreement whereby the CEDEX is, as
it has been for the last few years, the headquarters of
the International Association of Hydraulic Engineering
and Research (IAHR). Collaboration agreements were
also signed with the Portuguese public centre LNEC
(National Civil Engineering Laboratory), the German
centre DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) and with the Mexican Transport Institute, in
order to encourage the development of joint projects
and to exchange research personnel. In the area of
cooperation and development aid, the CEDEX has
been playing an active role in transferring knowledge,
by giving 4 international Masters Courses, and
through the presence of its experts at the training
centres run by the Agencia Española de Cooperación
Internacional in Latin America. It is likely that this
area of structured cooperation with the Spanish
Agency could be enlarged to include stays in the
medium term for foreign technicians and researchers
at the CEDEX centres and facilities.
Adapting the CEDEX resources to the new support
needs and requirements established by the Ministerio
de Fomento and Ministerio de Medio Ambiente got
under way with the creation of a new Centro de Estudios del Transporte, which not only takes in the area
that used to be covered by the former Centro de Estudios del Transporte but also the increasing activity in
the field of railways, the area of transport planning and
economy and urban mobility. The CEHOPU’s Advisory
Body was also re-established, with a view to incorporating a group of experts so that they can define the
Centre’s main lines of activity. Finally, mention must
also be made of the preparation and completion of the
first test at the new facilities for full-scale railway infrastructure testing, which required close collaboration between the experts at the Laboratorio de
Geotecnia, the Laboratorio Central de Estructuras y
Materiales and the Centro de Estudios del Transporte.
The technical team at the CEDEX was further strengthened with the arrival during the year of twelve high de-
gree graduates by means Research Contracts, five high
degree graduates and four medium degree graduates.
signed by virtue of the provisions contained in the contents of the CEDEX Statute (Royal Decree 591/2005).
The wish to open up to society found a favourable response context in the area of civil engineering and the
associated environment. In 2005, the private sector
proved highly responsive to the need to encourage innovation in the sector. In the light of this, different
Technological Platforms were established with a view
to encouraging private investment in innovation and to
devise ways of finding long-term cooperation with the
public research system, of which the CEDEX forms
part. Cooperation with the University led to the signing of 16 collaboration agreements, which help to incorporate the capacities of the university departments
into the research and specialist technical assistance
needs that are required of the CEDEX. The public profile and the publicising of the CEDEX’s achievements
led to a total of 145 papers being submitted at domestic and international Conferences and Symposiums, 15
books and publications being issued and 5 doctoral
thesis being presented at the University. Among the
most outstanding events was the organising of the
Waves 2005 Conference in Madrid, in collaboration
with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE),
at which more than 220 papers were submitted concerning all areas of coastal engineering.
Finally, it must be pointed out that to tackle the activities that are described in this Annual Report, the
CEDEX was able to depend on the team that works at
the Centre as its main asset and guarantee, thanks to
the preparation, ongoing training and team spirit of its
members, that must be pointed out. They possess very
singular qualities, which enabled them to respond in a
suitable way to whatever innovation and technical
assistance demands were made of them by Spanish
society in the sphere of Civil Engineering and the Environment during the course of 2005.
Ángel Aparicio Mourelo
Director General del Cedex
On an internal level, the CEDEX aims to improve the
efficiency and quality levels of its work by updating
its systems for monitoring activities, to enable the experts in charge of each project to manage their resources better where time and content are concerned,
which will make it possible to manage and allocate the
available resources in a better way. The process began
in 2005, and is completed with the creation of an External Committee, comprising personnel from the Ministerio de Fomento and Ministerio de Medio Ambiente,
to advise the Secretaría General de Infraestructuras
(Ministerio de Fomento) in controlling the CEDEX effectiveness and efficiency, this responsibility being asPRESENTATION 5
EL ORGANISMO
STATUS AND FUNCTIONS
The CEDEX is an Autonomous Entity dependent upon the Central State Government, whose purpose is to
provide suitable technological support for the investment, operation, research and development activities
undertaken by the Ministerio de Fomento and Ministerio de Medio Ambiente.
It is organically dependent upon the Ministerio de Fomento and, from a functional perspective, in the
area of their respective powers, to the Ministerio de Fomento and Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, by virtue
of Royal Decrees 1136 / 2002 october 31st and 591 / 2005 may 20th.
The Entity also caters for other demands for services required by the rest of the public administrations
or the private sector, in the areas of construction and civil engineering, as well as environmental matters.
The CEDEX’s Centres and Laboratories provide high-level technical assistance, applied research work,
technological development, innovation, transfer of knowledge and cooperation on an international level, in
different civil engineering sectors: ports and coasts, inland waters, transport, structures and materials, geotechnics, techniques applied to engineering, the environment and historical studies concerning public works.
Approximately 70% of its activity involves technical assistance, whereas the remaining 30% is given over
to applied research, technological development and innovation and information transfer.
The CEDEX has close ties and collaborates with other public bodies, such as the Laboratorio Nacional de
Engenharia Civil (LNEC, Portugal), the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chausees (LCPC, Francia) o the
Deutsches Zentrum für luft-und Raumtalut (DLR, Alemania), and plays an active part in a variety of research
network, such as the Red de Institutos Nacionales Iberoamericanos de Ingeniería e Investigación Hidráulica.

HUMAN RESOURCES
The main figures regarding human resources for the year 2005 at CEDEX and its distribution across Centres
and Laboratories are shown in the following tables.
The balance of new enrolments during 2005 was a bit lower than the level of retirements which rose to 24
people. As a consequence, the total workforce, that at the end of 2004 was 713 people –training fellows
excluded–, decreased slightly to 701 by December of 2005, confirming the slow but gradual dropping off in
staff that has been observed as a trend in the last period.
During 2005 five positions were offered to new graduate level public employees through the Escala de
Titulados de Escuelas Técnicas de Grado Medio de Organismos Autónomos del Ministerio de Fomento.
Also, a call was issued for 25 research positions with temporary project contracts.
Finally, the Professional Training Internship Programme continued incorporating 12 new positions along
2005, so the total number at the end of the year rose to 21 positions.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
As displayed in the table below, the initial 2005 budget rose to 41 million euros and the final budget expenditure was 87% of the total.
The income generated by commercial activities was 21 million euros, which confirms an income trecid higher than 20 million per year.
Approximately 90% of the income came from contracts with the Ministerios de Fomento and Medio
Ambiente, which received priority attention frtom CEDEX, as specified in the statutory mandate.
The overall income generated by CEDEX in 2005 positions it at a rate of self financing close to 53%.

CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS DE
PUERTOS Y COSTAS
he aim of the Centro de Estudios de Puertos y Costas del CEDEX is to develop R&D&I
and to provide non-competitive, state-of-theart technologies to the port, maritime and coastal
engineering sectors and their associated environments. This activity begins by establishing joint,
long-term strategies with the Direcciones Generales at the Ministerio de Fomento and Ministry of
Environment in the matters concerned. The most
effective way of collaborating is to establish
ongoing agreements, within frameworks of time
that are adapted to directing and supporting the
development of specialist service capacities and the
consequent benefits to society.

3D test in the vicinity of the harbour mouth. Port of Barcelona.
The year 2005 proved to be a landmark of special
significance in this sense, as the first 3-yearly
collaboration Agreement was signed between the
CEDEX and the Dirección General de la Marina
Mercante, which is added those of a similar duration that are regularly established with Puertos del
Estado and, on a 2-yearly basis, with the Dirección
General de Costas (Ministry of Environment). The
agreements entered into with these three Direcciones Generales form a balanced platform for
carrying out the activities of the Centro de Estudios de Puertos y Costas with a greater guarantee
that they will be used more effectively and efficiently.
As the previous 3-yearly Agreement (2002 – 2004)
with Puertos del Estado had expired, a decision was
made to carry on collaborating through a yearly
extension, while at the same time setting up an adhoc Commission to analyse how the relationship
was developing and to propose the courses of
action to be included in the framework of a new
agreement with a view to optimisation. The tasks
undertaken by this committee, which were
completed in July, led to a proposal being made to
enter into a new 3-yearly Agreement to cover the
period 2006 – 2008; one of the new features of this
is the inclusion of a specific R&D Committee within
its governing bodies, responsible for preparing and
monitoring an R&D Plan that will account for a
considerable number of the activities to be developed as a whole.

matters concerning ship movements, whereas there
has been a reduction in environmental studies and
in the contribution made by other CEDEX Centres
involved in the Agreement.
Test on the Port of Motril breakwater. Close-up of overtopping.
Work was carried out on 42 specific activities
within the framework of the Agreement with Puertos del Estado, all of which involved studying
specific questions that were posed by 21 of the 27
Port Authorities. A further 3 Ongoing Technical
Assistance activities covered environmental and
geotechnical aspects. Finally, 9 additional activities
were dealt with as part of the set of R&D lines
established in 2002.
At the request of the Pasajes, Bilbao, Santander,
Avilés, Ferrol, Coruña, Vigo, Algeciras, Ceuta,
Málaga, Tarragona and Barcelona Port Authorities
maritime climate and port hydraulics studies were
conducted within the framework of the Agreement,
and ship movements studies were performed in
Avilés, Ferrol, Vigo, Huelva, Motril and Barcelona.
Along these lines, research activities were
completed on the transfer of wave information
between the deep-water and intermediate-water
measurement networks. Furthermore, computational fluid mechanics techniques involving the
interaction between waves and structures were put
into practice, and multivariate probabilistic techniques were also used to analyse extreme events.
Where commitments were concerned, experimental activities using physical scale models accounted
for 41 % of the total time spent, whereas numerical
experimentation and simulation studies amounted
to 33 %, environmental studies accounting for a
further 16 %. Finally, activities involving port pavements, geotechnics and structural materials for
maritime works, carried out by other CEDEX
Centres, accounted for the remaining 10 % of the
total. The percentage increase in experimentation
activities is particularly outstanding, especially in
Experiments with scale models included the use of 3dimensional interior agitation models and the development of ship behaviour models for vessels
moored in the outer port facilities at Pasajes, for
the enlargement to the Port of Valencia, the enlargement to the southern part of the Port of Castellón
and the extension to the northern zone of the Port
of Barcelona. The latter study involved conducting a specific analysis of the behaviour of the naval
repairs floating breakwater. The current rate of port
development has also given rise to a large number
of activities revolving round 2- and 3-dimensional
tests performed on new maritime structures. One
of the most outstanding studies was the 3-dimensional one conducted in the multidirectional wave
tank for the Port of Gijón and the Outer Port Breakwater for Coruña. Other studies were either
completed or are still being carried out for the Ports
Gas- tankers access manoeuvre in the Port of Ferrol.

of Ferrol, Coruña (large scale), Motril and
Barcelona. The large wave channel was also used
to collaborate in research work promoted by Puertos del Estado on wave reflection and rubblemound
breakwaters. One study worth a special mention
is the one concerning the new sluice gate for the
Port of Sevilla, which involves a large-scale analysis of aspects concerning the way it operates
hydraulically and the behaviour of the vessels that
pass through it.
Some of the most noteworthy studies conducted
with respect to environmental aspects in port activity
revolved around environmental characterisation
and, where relevant, proposals for managing
dredged materials and other port sediments in the
Ports of Villagarcía, Vigo, Tenerife, Sevilla and
Barcelona. Work was completed on the environmental monitoring control activity for the Outer
Port of Ferrol (Cape Prioriño) and work should also
be shortly completed on the studies conducted with
respect to the Inner Contingency Plans for the Ports
of Huelva and Cartagena. Furthermore, with a view
to assessing the effectiveness of the new outer
breakwater in the Port of Avilés where the prevention of silting up is concerned, the Centro de Estudios de Puertos y Costas, Avilés Port Authority and
the Dirección General de Costas are jointly moni-
toring how the new structure is affecting the Salinas Beach, particular attention being paid to the
zone lying close to the river mouth. In the sphere
of R&D, further progress was made on a proposal
to update the Recommendations for the Characterisation and Management of Dredged Material and
the project concerning a comparative analysis of
the parameters related to the environmental characterisation of such materials was resumed.
In the area of in situ measurements, and through the
Measurement Network Agreement, oceanographic
measurement campaigns were conducted on directional waves in Almería, Bilbao, Coruña, and Cartagena, as well as wind measurement campaigns
(Barcelona) and interior agitation and long-wave
campaigns (Santander, Tarragona). The satisfactory performance of the Spanish Network for Wave
Measurement Red de Medida y Registro de Oleaje
(REMRO) must also be mentioned, as it yielded an
average of no less than 94.5 % valid data from the
17 stations that are currently operating.
As has already been pointed out, the new dimension to the CEPYC’s activity for the Dirección
General de la Marina Mercante was the 3-yearly
agreement signed in 2005, which includes scientific
support and technical activities carried out by
contained in Royal Decree 210/2004 and Community Directive 2002/59/EC. The study includes an
analysis of the legal bases for some of the refuge
aspects, a compilation of cases involving ships that
have required assistance, the preparation of an
inventory of potential havens, a proposal for a
National Plan and instructions for taking action and
pinpointing aspects to be promoted in a new International Agreement in this area.

working committees and groups for the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), International
Agreements within its jurisdiction and European
Union bodies associated with maritime areas.
Different courses of action were established regarding the fight against pollution in the marine environment, and
the regulations were updated for the purpose of
standardisation and concerning the use of techniques and products for dealing with the spillage of
pollutants, the analysis of models for predicting the
behaviour of hydrocarbon spillage at sea and studies aimed at identifying through analytical work,
those responsible for dumping waste from vessels.
Moreover, courses of action were also established
to improve safety at sea, by analysing the prevailing
climatic conditions when accidents affect shipping
and the conditions on maritime navigation routes;
studies concerning ship movements in restricted
zones and those were shipping density is high were
also undertaken. Finally, reference must be made
to the ongoing technical assistance activities
performed in other areas associated with maritime
safety and marine ecosystem protection.
Throughout its period of validity, the contents of
the Agreement have increased steadily and they can
now include the parallel development of specific
aspects of lines in which CEDEX is involved; during
the first year activities have begun in most of the
lines described.
Work of a very specific nature was also undertaken
in 2005 for the Dirección General de la Marina:
plans and protocols were drawn up for establishing places of refuge for distressed vessels in need
of assistance, in compliance with the requirements
A new Biennial Agreement (2005 – 2006) was established with the Dirección General de Costas, which
features a wide range of activities. One aspect of it
that is particularly important in the first year of the
Agreement was the support that the Dirección
General lent in tasks arising from the adaptation of
the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) to our
country, and its application to coastal and transition waters; preparing a multi-institutional inventory containing pressures upon coastal waters, and
accessible via Internet, was just one of the many
tasks undertaken, and this inventory will serve as
a communal reference work for ongoing evaluation
and analysis.
Other aspects of the activities carried out for the
Dirección General de Costas are providing scientific support for activities involved in the OSPAR
Convention for protecting the Marine Environment,
collaboration in the preparation of the Master Plan
for Sustainable Coastal Management and a series
of activities of a basic nature of which the following are just some of the most outstanding: preparing an inventory of groynes, channels, detached
breakwaters and submerged coastal protection
works. A variety of studies have also been
conducted concerning specific tasks: small-scale
physical model tests were conducted for the Puerto
Espíndola groyne, and coastal dynamics studies were
carried out in Sitges, Oyambre, Santiago de la
Gomera and Silgar.
Surveillance and monitoring activities were
performed on the beaches at Salinas, Campello and
la Isleta (Alicante), with a view to checking the project hypotheses and obtaining a greater in-depth
knowledge of beach dynamics. A recently-acquired
multi-beam sounder was used for carrying out
precision bathymetry on Salinas Beach. Finally,
different potential courses of action for environmental recovery and reverting to former uses at
Portman Bay, Murcia, were analysed and presented
for discussion in various forums.
Once again where the Ministry of Environment was
concerned, the Centro carried on working for the
Dirección General de Aguas on matters concerning
the land-to-sea outfalls from wastewater treatment
and desalination plants. With respect to the latter,
specific assistance was given to design activities
while the Centro simultaneously conducting
research work aimed at drawing up a series of technical recommendations and guidelines in this area.
Collaboration likewise continued with the Dirección General de Calidad y Evaluación Ambiental in
assessing the potential environmental impacts of
the sinking of the ship MV Ulla near Incirlik,
Turkey.
One of the activities carried out for other Institutions, was the completion of the first phase of the
studies prior to the enlargement of the Port of
Cudillero, in the Principado de Asturias.

On an international level, it must first be mentioned
that a professional from this Centro was elected
as the Secretary General of the International Association for Hydraulic Research (IAHR), during the
biennial Conference held in Seoul, Korea. The structuring of the Centro’s international activity continued with the second annual meeting of the
Institutos Nacionales Iberoamericanos de Ingeniería e Investigación Hidráulica, which was held

in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, at which a series
of statutes were implemented and a collaboration
agreement was reached between participants as a
means for regulating the Network; this activity, in
which the Centro de Estudios de Puertos y Costas
is participating in collaboration with the Centro de
Estudios Hidrográficos, has been able to count on
the support of the AECI, so it is undergoing a
process of consolidation and is to be a main vehicle for the Centro’s activity in Latin America. The
AECI has partially sponsored the holding of the 6th
International Port and Coastal Engineering Course
organised by the CEDEX with collaboration from
Puertos del Estado and the Dirección General de
Costas.
One specific activity of special importance was the
organising of the 5th International Conference
WAVES 2005, which is described in detail below.
Apart from achieving greater efficiency and
strengthening strategic relations with the main
bodies that benefit from the Centro’s activities, one
of the main objectives for 2006 is to formalise a new
R&D Plan and to make the associated investments
so that it will be possible to carry on making
progress in giving the best possible service to society.
The WAVES 2005 Conference
Wave study is one of the main subjects in the set of activities carried out at the Centro
in providing services to the port, maritime and coastal sectors and their associated
environments, and such studies are of vital importance to our country. Therefore, the
CEDEX organised this International Conference jointly with the American Society of
Civil Engineers, ASCE, through its Institute COPRI; this organisation was able to rely
on collaboration from Puertos del Estado and the Dirección General de Costas.
WAVES 2005 has been the main technical international technical – scientific forum
specialising in wave movements and long-period waves, their prediction, measurements and the effects they have as the main action on coasts, beaches, port maritime
works and navigation, all of which are matters of great interest applied to our country, and WAVES invariably presents a broad horizon of the most-recent breakthroughs
to have been made in this field.
The Conference, under the Honorary Chairmanship of SAR the Príncipe de Asturias,
was inaugurated by the Secretario General de Transportes in the presence of important personalities from the Ministerio de Fomento and the Ministry of Environment. It
was the 5th time this Conference had been held, but it was the very first time that
WAVES had taken place outside the United States of America. Top experts, researchers,
technologists, consultant engineers, planners and those responsible for port and
maritime safety and coastal security came from all over the world to share and
exchange knowledge with their Spanish colleagues at this Conference.
Apart from two plenary sessions, 220 papers were submitted at the Conference and
discussed orally during four sessions held simultaneously for four days, between 4th
and 7th July. The Spanish contribution consisted of 30 papers submitted by universities and other institutions. Two short preliminary courses were given by lecturers from the Universities of Cornell (USA) and Cantabria.
One of the subjects dealt with at the Conference was the catastrophic effects of waves and long-period waves, as well as the Tsunami phenomenon. In view of the relevance of the Tsunami on 26th December 2004 in the Indian Ocean, and its disastrous consequences, a special and warmlyreceived section was devoted to this event at the Conference, which featured a large number of observations with respect to the phenomenon,
its effects on coastal structures, lessons to be learnt, mitigation measures and warning systems.
As a cultural activity of maximum interest, the bilingual exhibition “Iribarren – Engineering and Sea” organised by CEHOPU was officially opened
at the Conference; this exhibition provided a human and professional biography of this outstanding engineer (1900 – 1967), internationally
recognised as one of the founders of scientific maritime engineering, and special attention was paid to his contribution to applied wave study.
Iribarren’s legacy lives on in Spain through many university groups and the Centro de Estudios de Puertos y Costas, which he founded and directed
until his death. The availability of the version of this exhibition in English will enable it to be shown abroad in English-speaking countries, thereby
making a contribution to spreading an awareness and understanding of the history of Spanish maritime engineering.

for the evaluation of water resources in the European
Union. Also worthy of mention is the compilation of a
report with recommendations for an evaluation of the
impact of hydromorphological pressures within the application of the Water Framework Directive.
In relation to droughts, the Global Hydrological Indicators System has continued to be updated and refined,
through the development of modules for the calculation of the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), as
well as the calculation of deficit chronograms. A web
page has also been designed, where these indicators
can be consulted on-line.
In relation to rises in water levels and flooding, work
has continued on the design of a channelling system
for the Júcar River, as foreseen within the “Global
Plan against Flooding of the Júcar Riverside Area”.
Special mention should be made of the following
projects, started in 2005: the development of a map
of maximum water flows for the entire river network
on mainland Spain, as established in article 28.2 of
the National Hydrological Plan; the compiling of a
Guide to calculate projected and extreme water flows
for the design of reservoir outflow devices, as foreseen in the criteria of the new Dam Security Regulation 1996; the drawing up of recommendations for
the Directorate-General of Water in relation to the ordering and management of flood-susceptible areas.
In the international sphere, activities carried out by the
Hydrology Unit have continued at the European Environment Agency (EEA)’s Topic Centre for Inland Water.
Among the projects undertaken by CEDEX (Public
Works Studies and Experimentation Centre) for the
EEA in 2005, we should mention the continuation of the
development of the water quantity measurement net24 CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS HIDROGRÁFICOS
In the WATER QUALITY UNIT, the Treatment and
Purification Division has undertaken operational trials at the Palma I (Palma de Mallorca), El Tablero,
Arguineguín and Mogán (Gran Canaria) waste water
treatment plants. The first phase of a study has also
been initiated into the activated sludge process using
membrane bioreactors, an ingenious, new technology that offers, amongst other benefits, the possibility of obtaining purified effluent, apt for the majority
of re-utilisation purposes. There has been collaboration with the Water Board of Northern Spain in a
study of the Re-utilisation Plan for residual water produced in Santander Bay, for industrial and recreational use. This aims to free up potable and
pre-potable water supplies, which have been consumed by industry up until now, redirecting them to
domestic water supply.
In the field of water re-cycling, work has also been
done to compile a first draft of the Legislative Act establishing Basic Conditions for the Direct Recycling
of Purified Water, as well as a national recycling database. There has also been a study on the eggs of parasitic worms in sewage and a manual has been
drafted on correct recycling practices. Finally, work
has also been done on the Study into Advanced Technologies for the Regeneration of Purified Effluents,
based principally on the numerous treatment centres
in existence in Spain.
Directives for sample taking have also been established. The first samples have been taken and their
corresponding analyses carried out, with special attention paid to the presence of agronomic parameters, heavy metals, microbiological parameters and
organic compounds.
Public Works Studies and Experimentation (CEDEX),
the study “Monitoring Biological Control in aquatic vegetation in irrigation pools using herbivorous fish”, has
been completed.
The Ecology of Aquatic Ecosystems division has continued to work studying the toxicity of cyanobacteria in the following reservoirs: Barcena, Belesar,
Cástrelo, Las Conchas and Trasona (Norte); Las Cogotas, Fuentes Claras, Las Vencias, Santa Teresa and
Villagonzalo (Duero); Cazalegas, San Juan and Picadas (Tajo); Orellana and Vega de Jabalón (Guadiana);
Arcos and Bornos (Guadalquivir); Camarillas, Cenajo,

In the field of desalination, there have been technical assistance, research and technological development activities at the following desalination plants:
Carboneras, Atabal, Las Palmas-Telde, Cartagena, Alicante, Melilla, Sta Eulalia, Calviá, Alcudia, Andratx
and Almería.
The Geographical Intercalibration Group (GIG), lead
by Spain, has continued its work to meet the requirements of the Water Framework Directive. For the Intercalibration Register, CEDEX has carried out the
sample campaigns for nine of them: Portodemouros,
Salime, San Esteban, Vilasouto and Bao (Norte);
Águeda, Nuestra Señora del Agavanzal, Valparaíso,
Aldeadávila (Duero) Albarellos and La Ribeira (Norte).
Projects related to surveillance and control of the natural environment on the international border section
of the Guadiana River Estuary have also been completed.
The agreement has been ratified for “Development of
an operational system for direct acquisition of topic
maps produced from photosynthetic pigments using
the ENVISAT-1 satellite’s MERIS sensor”. Within this
line of action, there have been radiometric measurement and results validation campaigns at some reservoirs, such as Almendra, Alcántara, Valuengo, Vega
del Jabalón, Finisterre, Valdecañas, Navalcán and
Rosarito, as well as Albufera in Valencia. Participation
has continued in the Proba demonstration satellite,
and its CHRIS experimental sensor, under ESA (European Space Agency) management.
As far as R+D is concerned, the final year of the project, “The ecological state of Mediterranean rivers.

The STUDIES AND PLANNING UNIT has continued
to work on the development of the Water Framework
Directive, and the studies stipulated in article 5 of this
Directive were completed in the first quarter of the
year.
A review is being undertaken of the reports compiled
by Hydraulic Administration Bodies regarding the identification and characterisation of surface water bodies.
The aim is to verify which have been the criteria
adopted finally in this initial phase, and to analyse the
possibilities for homogenisation and adaptation, where
appropriate, for phases subsequent to the studies,
which will culminate in the drafting of hydrological
plans for river basins. To this end, a proposal has been
prepared that looks towards the systematisation of information currently available on water bodies, facilitating information management at a national level by
the Directorate-General of Water.
Finally, under orders of the Directorate-General of
Water, there has been a further collaboration in the
definition and delimitation of hydrographical areas
in Spain.
The review and updating of the geographical database for Spanish dams and reservoirs has continued.
This has allowed for a notable increase in the number of dams and reservoirs with associated geographical information, now reaching more than one
thousand. A similar task has also begun in reference
to the major water channels, especially those related
with irrigation, aiming to identify both the main pressures of extraction on water bodies and their relationship with units of demand.
In June of this year, by order of the Directorate-General of Water, the compilation of a situation report
for the Tajo Segura Aqueduct Commission commenced.
In the regulatory field, there have been advances in
the compilation of technical recommendations and
instructions for the normalisation of various hyCENTRO DE ESTUDIOS HIDROGRÁFICOS 25

as a CEDEX monograph.
In the IRRIGATION ENGINEERING UNIT, work has
continued on “Characterisation of irrigation areas
in the Andalusia Mediterranean basin” with the creation of “Crop Productivity and Profitability” charts,
including water requirements for each UDA (Agrarian Demand Unit) according to its systems, municipalities and areas, along with its crops, surface area,

In a similar way, in conjunction with the Canal de
Isabel II Water Authority, the second and final part
of the collaboration with the aforementiooned institution has been finalised, for the creation of Regulations for Drainage Networks.
Furthermore, in the sphere of projects related with
technical regulations, a series of recommendations
on reinforced concrete pipes for drainage networks
has been drawn up through a collaboration agreement signed with the Reinforced Concrete Pipe Man-
26 CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS HIDROGRÁFICOS
To this end, the corresponding municipalities have
provided details on irrigated crop types, also incorporating the most recent information from MAPA
(Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food) and the
Andalusia Regional Government. Using the Inventory
and Characterisation of Irrigated Crops in Andalusia
(ICRA) a synthesis of specific information (irrigation
areas; water origin, regulation and guarantee; irrigation methods and distribution network, type of production; water requirements and consumption; water
productivity) has also been created, at UDA, exploitation system, and fluvial basin level.
Within the activities related to the Water Framework
Directive, projects have continued on varied-origin
contamination, provoked by pressures exerted on
water bodies by agricultural activity, and studies have
been initiated into the characterisation of measures
to reduce said pressures.
DEVELOPMENT OF A GLOBAL SYSTEM OF HYDROLOGICAL INDICATORS FOR DROUGHT IDENTIFICATION
Droughts are recurring phenomena, characterised by an abnormal, seasonal lack of water in a certain region. Water in the hydrological cycle,
whether this is natural or altered, passes through different states and transformations, being added to or removed from different storage positions
according to its physical characteristics or the rules of operation of the hydraulic system. This means that water scarcity takes on different characteristics according to climate and the possibilities for natural regulation, the phase of the water cycle being studied, hydraulic infrastructure in
place and environmental management.
Wilhite (1993) underlines various aspects that make dealing with droughts more complicated. This is a cumulative phenomenon that can continue over long periods of time, without its beginning or end being clearly defined. This characteristic of uncertain temporal boundaries can also be
applied to its spatial coordinates. The damage produced by drought is hard to quantify because it is not usually structural, appearing in a range
of sectors. It is just this diversity of impact, along with the uncertain nature of start and finish boundaries, that make the very definitions of drought
imprecise, adapted to different management and planning bodies according to their requirements.
During the development of the hydrological planning process, in accordance with the Water Act 29/1985 of 2 August, modified under Act 46/1999
of 13 December, repealed and re-written in Royal Legislative Decree 1/2001 of 20 July, the need to develop projects that tend towards the harmonisation of these different visions and towards the treatment of the problem of drought in Spain has been underlined. Hence, in the Spanish
Water White Paper (MIMAM (Environment Ministry), 2000), it was shown that there are problems relating to the homogenous treatment of the
phenomenon of drought and to a global vision of the hydrological cycle. Article 27 of Act 10/2001 of 5 July of the National Hydrological Plan
regarding drought management, established the obligation to set up a global system of hydrological indicators that would allow these situations
to be forecast, and that would serve as a general reference for river basin authorities for formal declarations of situations of alert and eventual
drought. It should also serve for the creation of Special Action Plans by the responsible supply systems in situations of alert and eventual drought
in the sphere of each hydrographical region.
CEDEX’s Centre for Hydrographical Studies works with the General Sub-directorate of Sustainable Water Use and Planning, part of the DirectorateGeneral of Water, in the creation of a global system of hydrological indicators (SGIH). Its objectives are to evaluate the hydrological situation using
a limited number of measurement points spread throughout Spain, whether flow is natural or artificial, to identify and characterise droughts. The
hydrometeorological variables taken into consideration are precipitation, water flow, volume of stored water and piezometric level. Later phases

will incorporate snow volume indices and other teledetection procedures. An index of current situation will be produced from each station, in
regard to its historical state. This will, furthermore, be considered in sufficient detail to represent an overall regional value.
Hydrological condition will be evaluated in regions delimited in accordance with hydrographical basin organisations and exploitation systems. The
aim is to manage units of water generation and consumption, although this cannot be taken in general terms, given that demand in certain areas
depends on general regulation systems over a certain river section, or on river diversion.
The variables implemented in the SGIH are as follows:
1. Precipitation. The basic variable for a system that aims to identify droughts. It defines water levels entering the hydrological cycle, propagating
to the rest of the phases of the cycle according to different properties of the ground, the aquifer or to human activity in water use and regulation.
The majority of SGIH precipitation data comes from the synoptic network of the National Meteorological Institute, representing climate.
2. Water volumes registered at gauging stations; reservoir inflow and outflow. They give information on water flow in rivers, on natural water
resources and availability. They include stations selected for UNESCO’s 3rd International Hydrological Programme, and those that form part of a
European network of reference stations for natural flow regime. Water volume data is sent by regional Water Board offices.
3. Reservoir supplies. Reservoirs are a basic element in the exploitation of water systems and provide information on availability for agricultural,
industrial, domestic and environmental purposes. At the end of each month, available reserves are communicated to the Hydrological Bulletin of
the Directorate-General of Water and the offices of regional Water Boards.
4. Piezometry. Aquifers are elements with natural regulation capacity that can be used to increase water availability. Knowledge of piezometric
evolution, along with hydrodynamic characteristics and the geometric characteristics of aquifers provides information on availability and the state
of the aquifer. Data is sent by regional Water Board offices.
The following figure shows the total points defined up until now
The hydrological state of the system is evaluated comparing each value - current, monthly or the aggregate of various previous months - with its
temporal evolution. To this end, frequencies of occurrence are calculated, represented in the form of maps or evolution graphs. In the case of precipitation, the percentiles in each region are also taken into account, considering those reached in the stations through simple interpolation operations. In the case of reservoir supplies, it is more important to know the state of reserves in respect of demand rather than in comparison with
historical values. For this reason indices such as current volume vs. maximum volume or ratios that give some idea of the dynamics of the reservoir over recent periods are used.

Currently, the identification and characterisation of droughts is carried out using the precipitation variable. The system has two incorporated models. The first identifies drought with a variable monthly threshold criterion (85% quantile) with three-month minimum droughts. The second is
based on the standardised precipitation index (SPI) for 3, 6, 12 and 24 month periods.

he preparation of a new test for subgrade
sections that will be conducted on the accelerated pavement test track was among the
most outstanding activities to be carried out by the
Laboratorio de Infraestructuras Viarias in the Road Technology and Studies Area. The new test, which is due to
start in 2006, will mainly be used for making comparisons between the performance of different sections, and the techniques and materials that are
used for subgrades, thus completing the information obtained from earlier studies. This work falls
within the framework of the 3-year Management
Commissioning Agreement signed in November between the Dirección General de Carreteras (Ministerio de Fomento) and the CEDEX to provide
technical assistance and carry out research and
technological development work, which includes a
package of 13 studies involving a wide variety of
subjects (CRT auscultation campaigns, rolling noise
measurements, updating test standards, heavy traffic load spectra evaluation, georadar measurement
of thicknesses, developing highway audit systems,
analysing and giving advice on the pavement management system, etc.).

Further progress was made with the lines of work
established in recent years with the Dirección General de Carreteras (Ministerio de Fomento). A
study was completed that compared the different
design methods used in some neighbouring European countries, special attention being paid to the
analytical calculation procedures and the behavioural models that they use. Furthermore, the task of
preparing a series of recommendations for designing the transition zones between embankments
and engineering structures was concluded, which
dealt with such questions as treating the foundations, the embankment itself, the transition slab and
the drainage structures. Work also continued on
drawing up a series of design recommendations for
the pavements in road tunnels. This document,

A study was conducted and design recommendations given for port pavements for the Ente Público
Puertos del Estado; the material concerned, coated
material percolated with laitance, is used in port
pavements. Work continued with the same Body on
inspections and analyses of port pavements as part
of the 4th Monitoring Campaign, and the tasks for
2005 included studies conducted for the Ports of
Ceuta and Melilla.
Further progress was made on studies for the Dirección General de Calidad y Evaluación Ambiental, (Ministry of Environment), these activities being associated
with the use of waste and industrial by-products on road
surfaces, special attention being paid to the use of bituminous mixes containing the rubber powder from
out-of-use tyres (OUT). These studies involved laboratory tests and monitoring different sections subjected to experimental tests. Different kinds of leaching
tests were also conducted on the recycled materials
to be used on road surfaces, and when these are completed a report will be prepared containing standards
and guidelines.

During the course of 2005 further progress was made
on the research work conducted for the Foro de Ligantes Bituminosos (Bituminous Binder Forum), carried out with financed with the Centro’s own R&D, in
which numerous other research organisations and
companies are involved (BP, CIESM, Elsan, Nynas,
Proas-Cepsa, Probisa, Repsol-IPF, ETSI Caminos de
Madrid and ETSI Caminos de Barcelona). At this second stage, the study focused upon the effects of the
binder on the module, aging and the resistance of bituminous mixes to fatigue. Reference must also be
made to the beginning of an inter-laboratory test to
compare the Spanish Standards (UNE) and NLT Standards applying to bitumen, which involves the main laboratories in Spain that produce bituminous products.
On an international level, the Centro, together with
17 other European countries, played an active part
in the COST 351 Action WATMOVE, concerning
water movements in road pavements and embankments, whose main aim is basically to evaluate
water movement and moisture conditions in granular layers and subgrades on highways. Research
is being conducted into the effects of these conditions on the mechanical behaviour of granular materials, the development of advanced finite element
models for simulating the water movements and
their effects, and finally, to evaluate the environmental impact of leachates coming from by-products that are used in pavement layers. Within the
context of this work, the CEDEX undertook to organise in Madrid, an International Technical Workshop on “Water Movements in Subgrades and Road

Further progress was also made with the activities designed to evaluate a new method for visually inspecting flexible pavements, with a view to their potential
use in the management system.
The Centro continued with its campaign involving the
auscultation of the surface characteristics of pavements, and a systematic campaign was put into practice for measuring the skid resistance of the pavements
in the eastern half of the country, with a view to detecting the zones with poor adhesion. One new aspect
that was included in the latest campaign in 2005, apart
from the data concerning the coefficient of transverse
friction and the ongoing measurement of the macrotexture, was the incorporation of graphic documentation from a video camera fitted to the equipment.
In 2005 work was completed on the activities involved
in the SCORE Project as part of the V European Framework Programme concerning improvements to the
cold-mix in situ recycling treatment, in which the
CEDEX has been actively involved. Furthermore, as
part of the CEDEX’s self-financed research work, the
Centro played an active part in the European Long-Life
Pavement Group (ELLPAG) as part of the Forum of
European National Highway Research Laboratories
(FEHRL) with respect to long-life pavements in Europe, the main aim of which is to prepare reports and
make recommendations for increasing the useful working life of pavements. Another self-financed project
in which the Centro has been involved is an international inter-laboratory test organised by RILEM
(World-Wide Network of Laboratories and Technical
Experts Advancing the Knowledge of Building Materials and Structures), which concerns the measurement of adherence between layers and a laboratory
assessment of the plastic deformation of bituminous
mixes.
Work also continued on the auscultation of the thicknesses of certain sections of the State Highway Network, and comparisons were drawn between the
results yielded by the georadar equipment and those
that appear in the pavement inventory database. The
task of measuring rolling noise using the Close Proximity Method (CPX) got under way on certain sections of some dual carriageways, and the respective
analyses were carried out.
In the Area of Full-Scale Evaluation, the Centro carried on
collaborating with the Dirección General de Carreteras (Ministerio de Fomento) on work associated with

ción Técnica de Carreteras, consisted of preparing
a series of provisional specifications for rumble
strips.
The activities undertaken in the Trafffic and Road Safety Area mainly revolved around a twofold objective:
on the one hand, publishing and handing over the
Final Report on the 3-year weigh-in-motion campaign, as well as preparing a publication that will
describe the main results obtained; and on the other
hand, carrying out the groundwork involved in studying and researching into road safety that is to be
performed in the next few years as part of the Management Commissioning Agreement signed by the
Dirección General de Carreteras and the CEDEX.
On an international level, work was completed on
the Transport Research for European Equipment
(TREE) thematic network financed by the European Commission as part of the 5th R&D Framework Programme, whose most outstanding activity
was to set up an Internet portal (http://www.treetransport-facilities.net) which contains a catalogue
of the major European research facilities in the
transport area; and on the other hand, participation
in the drawing up of the SERRP IV (“Fourth Strategic European Road Research Programme”), of the
Forum of European National Highway Research Laboratories (FEHRL), which will establish the research lines and priorities where roads in Europe are
concerned, from 2006 to 2011.
As far as the first of these objectives is concerned,
apart from presenting the figures obtained at each
one of the 70 stations where data was compiled, the
information from all the stations was jointly processed, with a view to obtaining average results that
describe the main characteristics of the heavy traffic and in order to compare the results with those
yielded by earlier weigh-in-motion campaigns. The
application of these studies is linked to the input
data for pavement design and strengthening, and
for the road transport studies.
Other actions planned within the framework of the
Management Commissioning Agreement are associated with the analysis of the effects of equipment
and infrastructure elements on road safety, in
which ways of swiftly establishing the locations of
accident black spots are studied. Technical assistance will also be given with respect to the development of a road safety audit system for highways
in service.
Other work carried out in the field of road safety,
and within the framework of the Comité de Seguridad Vial (Road Safety Committee) of the Asocia34 CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS DEL TRANSPORTE
The activities performed in the Planning and Design Area
basically focused on work commissioned by the Dirección General de Calidad y Evaluación Ambiental
(Ministry of Environment). Within this field further
progress was made on the use of recycled aggregates on roads, and this included the preparation of an
initial draft containing guidelines for use, together
with a proposal for technical specifications for the
use of recycled aggregates in granular layers. The
task of preparing technical specifications for the use
of recycled aggregates on layers treated with cement
also commenced, and the sections where such aggregates were used were monitored.
The activities included in the Collaboration Agreement
signed in June with the aforementioned Dirección General also began, with regard to the question of environmental quality and evaluation. This 4-year agreement
contains a wide variety of tasks, and the ones that are
allocated to this Area include the following: a study concerning the use of steelworks slag from electric furna-

ces on roads; a study on the use of slag from urban incinerators on roads; and updating the catalogue of
waste products that can be used in construction; the latter activity was carried out jointly with other CEDEX
units, such as the Centro de Estudios de Puertos, the
Laboratorio de Geotecnia and the Laboratorio Central
de Estructuras y Materiales.
September, between the Secretaría de Estado de Infraestructuras y Planificación (Ministerio de Fomento)
and the CEDEX, with a view to carrying out technical
assistance and innovation work associated with transport planning. This agreement is scheduled to last for
over 3 years, and it consists of three topics: preparing
a passenger transport demand model and a freight demand model, with periodical updates on an annual
basis; developing and implementing a set of indicators
for monitoring the transport sector, so that it will be
possible to know every 2 years what the transport situation in Spain is; and developing guidelines for action and encouraging innovation where urban mobility
is concerned, which includes putting into practice a
system for calling on those interested to participate in
pilot programmes, and assessing and monitoring these
schemes, in such a way that the programmes encourage research in different fields of urban mobility,
through activities that demonstrate the results and
publicise them.
On an international level, collaboration continued with
the SAMARIS Project (Sustainable and Advanced Materials for Road Infrastructures), which involved on the
one hand, such tasks as managing the Work Group researching into Recycling Techniques, and on the other
hand, the preparation of a report on the Guideline Project concerning road structure recycling techniques.
With a view to completing the activities in which the
CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS DEL TRANSPORTE was involved in 2005, reference must be made to the signing
of another Management Commissioning Agreement in
WEIGH-IN-MOTION CAMPAIGNS FOR VEHICLES ON THE STATE HIGHWAY NETWORK
General questions concerning weigh-in-motion
Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) for vehicles is a technique that is used to estimate the weights of vehicles when they are moving at normal speed, without interfering with or holding up the traffic in any way; this is done by measuring and analysing the dynamic force that the tyres exert upon
the pavement.
The great advantage of this method lies in the fact that it enables the operator to know the weights of all the vehicles that are using a particular highway, so the information that is obtained is for all the traffic and not just the few dozen vehicles that can be weighed per day on the traditional static weighbridges.
By contrast, the main drawback to the weigh-in-motion technique is that the readings for individual vehicles are not very accurate (generally
within a range of ± 20%, depending mainly on the state of the pavement), so the data that is obtained using this method cannot be used to
impose penalties on overloaded vehicles. However, if the system is well calibrated, the precision that is obtain for the average data for all the
vehicles as a whole falls within the bounds of acceptability (normally within a range of ± 3%), so it can be applied to road planning or statistical studies concerning road transport.
Weigh-in-Motion Campaigns on the State Highway Network
(RCE)
Since 1987, the Dirección General de Carreteras (DGC) (Ministerio de
Fomento) has been entering into different agreements with the CEDEX
for the purpose of carrying out work and undertaking studies with a
view to obtaining a better and greater in-depth working knowledge
of the characteristics of the heavy traffic that uses the State Highway
Network (RCE). The most recent of these agreements was the one called “Evaluation of the load spectrum with portable weigh-in-motion
scales (2000 – 2003 Campaign)”, which included 70 weighing surveys,
each lasting 24 hours, at different points on the State Highway Network (RCE) in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
To perform these activities the Centro de Estudios del Transporte used
portable weigh-in-motion scales, which were taken to each one of the
lanes and mounted on the transversal sections (stations) selected as
being representative of the respective sections.
The information was stored on an individual basis, vehicle by vehicle,
which enabled the users to have available parameters such as the time
the vehicle passed, the axle loads, the total weight, the wheelbase,
axle and vehicle classifications and the speed at which the vehicle was
travelling. The data and the results for each one of the stations was
entered in a database for the survey and weighing campaign (2000 –
2003), this being compatible with both past and future campaigns.
Description of the weigh-in-motion system used
The weigh-in-motion scales used by the Centro de Estudios del Transporte in the current campaign are portable, which means they can be
transported to the different sites and installed quickly. (Photo 1).
A 1,800 x 500 x 8 mm surface weight gauge with two induction loops
is fitted to each lane, one of these loops being fitted before the weight
gauge and the other after it, both on the same lane, which enables the
operator to obtain the following data, amongst other, from each vehicle: its total weight, the weight of each one of it axles, the length,
the wheelbase and the speed at which it is travelling.
Figure 3. Distributions of frequencies for the speeds, weights and
lengths of the lorries weighed
36 CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS DEL TRANSPORTE
Each one of the aforementioned gauges and detectors operates when
connected to a piece of electronic equipment (TDL-500) that records,
processes and stores the data.
Photo 1. Components of the weigh-in-motion system used.
Photo 2. Calibration lorry running over the weighing system.
One single item of recording equipment can store the data obtained from four lanes, in each one of which there is a weight gauge and two induction loops. Once the equipment has been fitted to the station and programmed and calibrated, it can obtain records for all vehicles, regardless of their weight, weighing and classifying each and every one of their axles. In the case of very small saloon cars, it might not detect the
weight of one or even both of their axles, but the vehicle does appear in the census.
During the 24 hours of automatic census conducted by the equipment, there is a 6-hour period of visual sampling that provides supplementary
data in addition to the information furnished by the equipment, such as the vehicles’ tare and maximum permitted weight (MPW), with a view
to calculating the load being transported, as well as its registration plate number, to find out whether it is involved in local or long-distance
haulage, and this also furnishes information about a vehicle’s age.
Some results obtained during the campaign
Some of the most outstanding results obtained from the 2000 – 2003 Campaign were as follows:
Heavy traffic silhouette: the silhouette for the sample as a whole (taken visually) for the 2000 - 2003 Campaign revealed that approximately 30.3 % of the vehicles were rigid, 66.6 % were articulated and 3.1 % were road trains. This information varied greatly from one station to
another. It can generally be said that the stations whose proportion of articulated vehicles was greater than 60 % were mainly long-distance
stations, whereas when the percentage was lower than 40 %, they were short-distance stations.
Characteristics of the heavy vehicles: the total number of heavy vehicles (weighing > 3.5 t) from all the stations was 163,748. The average length of these heavy lorries was 14.2 m, their average weight was 25.6 tonnes and the average speed was 84.9 km/h. Figure 3 shows the
distributions for the frequencies of the lengths, weights and speeds of the lorries concerned.
Equivalence factor for vehicle with an average axle weight of 13 tonnes: the equivalence factor for vehicles with a standard 13
tonne axle load was measured at each one of the stations, using not only the OECD method, but also the AASHO Method. Regarding the equivalence factor calculated resorting only to the AASHO Method, using exponent 4 (flexible pavements), the value obtained ranged between 0.24
and 1.02 at the different stations, when the equivalent axle load was 13 t. In general, it can be said that the traffic passing through the stations
where the equivalence factor was below 0.45 was not very aggressive, whereas the traffic passing through the stations where the factor was
above 0.75 was rather aggressive.

(CEDEX), this agreement covering the period 2005
- 2007. It will serve to provide support in helping to
establish the LIF as the first neutral European laboratory, and only one to date, which is capable of
finding solutions to the interoperability problems
caused by implementing the ERTMS (European Rail
Traffic Management System) on the European rail
system. The main activities performed by the LIF
can be summarised in the following way:
Throughout 2005 the aforementioned Area was
still integrated into the Centro de Estudios de Técnicas Aplicadas, which explains why its activities
are included in the CETA report.
In the railway area, a new agreement was signed
with the Dirección General de Ferrocarriles with
respect to the maintenance and consolidation of the
Laboratorio de Interoperabilidad Ferroviaria (LIF)
1. Work was completed on the second part of the European test campaign on the ERTMS Eurocabs in
which all the European manufacturers (Alstom, Ansaldo-Csee, Bombardier, Dimetronic, Alcatel and Siemens) have conducted trials on their equipment in the
LIF laboratories with a view to standardising the different interpretations of the specifications for the
ERTMS system. As a result of this campaign, the LIF
Eurocab laboratory can conduct official certification
tests on eurocabs. It must also be pointed out that the
LIF has been accredited by ENAC to conduct tests on
eurobalises.

peared on the Madrid - Lleida line, and the Laboratory approached these problems by evaluating all the
tests conducted on this section, participating in solving the problems arising from the failure to read balises on the display at Level 1 of the ERTMS system.
These activities were backed by a collaboration agreement signed jointly with RENFE and ADIF.
5. Finally, it must be pointed out that the LIF initiated its work in the field of railway safety in two
areas of great importance:
1. Giving technical assistance to the ADIF in evaluating the safety dossiers for the trains that run
on high-speed lines and
2. Playing an active part in establishing the causes
of rail accidents, by undertaken as a result of the
management agreement signed with the Dirección

2. An active role was played in the national control
group for the ERTMS system and its implementation
in Spain, in the following three basic areas:
1. Establishing the processes required to certify and
validate the ERTMS system that will be compulsory
before the system can be put into commercial service.
2. Establishing the track acceptance tests that must
be conducted on all trains equipped with this
system, and the LIF also participated in performing
the tests conducted on the Talgo high-speed train
(S-102) and in evaluating the results of those tests.
3. Forming part of the group responsible for guaranteeing compatibility between the new European version
of the specifications and the versions fitted in Spain.
3. Test specifications were established for the System
Test Specifications-Subset-076). This European work
group was spearheaded by the CEDEX and when
those specifications are sent to the European Commission, they will become compulsory regulations, as
soon as they are published in the Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs).

overcoming the interoperability problems that ap40 CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS DE TÉCNICAS APLICADAS
As in earlier years, the CETA continued to collaborate closely with the CIEMAT in the field of energy
and superconductivity, in the superconductivity laboratory jointly-owned by CEDEX / CIEMAT, in the
following areas:
1. Energy, (which also includes power electronics activities), where further progress was made on developing the ACE2 Project (Kinetic Energy Storage for the
Reduction of Electricity Consumption), a storage
system with railway applications that is being developed for the ADIF (Rail Infrastructure Administrator).
The following activities were undertaken in this field:
- Commissioning and trials conducted on the Wmotor prototype with its power supply and control systems.
- Delivery, commissioning and tests conducted on
the W prototype with its power supply and control
systems.
- Manufacturing a second “universal control” prototype for all the prototypes involved in the project.
- Starting to manufacture the power converters for
the W-plus prototype.
2. In applied superconductivity, the following work
was done:
- Tests were conducted at DESY (Hamburg) on the
combined magnet prototype as part of the EDISON
project (Financed by the National R&D&I Plan).
- Modifications were made to the above-mentioned magnet in view of the test results.
- The manufacturing process began on the second
combined magnet prototype as part of the EDISON
project, based on superferric technology.
- A Fast Kicker-type magnet was designed for the
CERN’s CTF3 Project.
The Environmental Engineering Area, carried on participating in the second stage of the COST 350 Action,
for the Dirección General de Calidad y Evaluación
Ambiental (Ministry of Environment), the aim of
which is to comprehensively evaluate the environmental impact of traffic and transport infrastructures. Environmental evaluation reports were also
prepared on different land transport infrastructures. Reports were also drawn up in support of the
Comisión Nacional sobre Cambio Climático (National Committee on Climatic Change) for the
same Dirección General.
The CETA also initiated studies for the Dirección
General del Agua (Ministry of Environment), with
a view to characterising the riverbank vegetation
in Southern Spain and the Balearics and Canary
Isles, the work on the Tajo and Guadiana River Basins being completed in 2005. As far as the pilot
restoration project for the banks of the River Zújar
was concerned, once the basic information had
been obtained to allow for a geomorphologic characterisation of the riverbank vegetation in the
Guadiana Basin upstream from Badajoz, the task
of preparing the project got under way for the
Zújar Dam – confluence with the River Guadiana
section. Work also started for the same Dirección
General, on trying to obtain a methodology for calculating the damage to the riverbank vegetation.
Furthermore, the species of riverbank vegetation
were compiled for the Ministry of Environment
website, in the section entitled “Public Domain
over Water”.
At the end of the year work began on a new line of
research into climatic change and the effects of the
Kyoto Protocol on Spain. As the work has only recently begun it is too early to have obtained any results.
Progress was made on the noise pollution programme that commenced the year before for the
Dirección General de Calidad y Evaluación Ambiental, which involves plotting strategic noise
maps, developing the Regulations contained in the
Noise Act and organising and processing the infor-

of the preparation of the first strategic maps plotting road noise on the State Network.
The Area of Isotopic Applications continued its radiological monitoring of the waters, in the inland
water, coastal water and water supply control networks, with over 200 sampling stations.
The number of radioactivity determinations in environmental matrices is around five thousand per
year, taking into consideration a broad spectrum
of radionucleides, both of natural and artificial
origins. Furthermore, the activities involved in
providing backup for the demand for research
and technical support for the Nuclear Safety
Council were particularly important, as is shown

2005 began to collaborate with the Abdelmalek Essaadi University, in Morocco.
Studies were conducted in the area of isotopic applications to hydrology with a view to finding out
whether there was any seepage of wastewater into
the Lagunas de Ruidera. Research work was also carried out to establish the origins of the waters that
emerged on a quarry face in Santa Cruz de Mudela.
Tests were conducted to determine the groundwater flows in Vallirana (Barcelona). Further
progress was made on the tasks involved in locating the leaks from the reservoirs belonging to
the River Júcar Basin Water Authority. Laboratory work continued on measuring the content
of 18O, deuterium, tritium, 13C and 14C in the
water samples so that universities and private
companies could carry out a variety of hydrological studies.
Further progress was made on the tasks involved
in the R&D project “Analysis of Earthquake-Induced Landslides (Andes)”, with the development of
numerical models using the Finite Elements methodology, and work also continued with the project “Analysis and Prevention of Landslides on
Roads and Railway Lines” (Descartes) for the Ministerio de Fomento.
A 2D surface flow model was developed and calibrated, which can be applied to the prevention
of natural water risks caused by hydraulic works,
for the Dirección General del Agua, with which
the Centro also collaborated on developing a variety of techniques for the numerical modelling
of dams.
As part of its scientific and technical information
and documentation programme, the Gabinete de Formación y Documentación (CEDEX) carried out activities basically in the following areas:
The network for establishing the isotopic composition of the rainfall on the Iberian Peninsula is still
operational, for the purpose of which the CETA
relies on the backing given by the Instituto Nacional de Meteorología. Promoted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), this is going to
complete the world network concerning isotopic
composition in the rainfall.
- Taking part in international networks and projects with respect to information, documentation
and databases in a wide variety of civil engineering fields and the associated environmental questions.
Where Computational Engineering was concerned, the

- Implementing and developing Internet information systems concerning inland waters, roads and
transport.
- Progress was made on developing and optimising
the Internet thematic portal on inland waters in
Spain, entitled Hispagua.
- Active participation continued with the European
cooperation project SEMIDE / EMWIS (EuropeanMediterranean Water Information System) for
which Hispagua is the National Focal Point, the
CEDEX also being a member of the Technical Unit
that coordinates it.
- The CETA also carried on participating in the SIAGUA information system (Latin American Water Information System). System liaison and planning
functions are performed on this virtual network, as
well as administering and being responsible for the
International Focal Point for the entire network. In
2005 the CEDEX organised the SIAGUA’s 4th Technical Conference in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia,
doing this jointly with the 5th General Directors of
Water in Latin America Conference.
In the Area of Transport and Highways, technology
transfer activities, especially in Latin America, were
undertaken in fulfilment of the agreements that have
been established; these transfer activities particularly
involved matters concerning either road information
and documentation or the diffusion of the Strategic
Infrastructures and Transport Plan (PEIT):
- The CETA took part in the ITRD (DIIT) programme (International Transport Research Documentation) established by the OECD in the
capacity of the Spanish Language Co-ordination
Centre.
- Further progress was made on updating and increasing the contents of the DIRCAIBEA site run

by the Consejo de Directores de Carreteras de Iberia e Iberoamérica.
- The PEIT website was maintained, and the contents were updated, online surveys and forums
being held with a view to encouraging the general
public to take part.
The CEDEX publishing programme went ahead,
and amongst other activities, it involved the publication of 12 books (including 2 manuals and recommendations, 3 monographic works, 1 piece of
research work, and 2 books on conference papers), considerable documentation on courses that
were given, triptychs and leaflets on scientific and
technical activities, together with reprints of the
events that occurred.
The CEDEX library network carried on increasing
its activity with respect to earlier years, evidence
of which was the rise in the number of enquiries
made to the CEDEX itself and queries made via the
Internet, from companies, individuals, universities
and other external bodies, in addition to those
made by the personnel at the CEDEX. No less than
118,091 references appeared in the CEDEX’s
CATA database, which amounted to an increase of

MATHEMATICAL MODELS, NATURAL RISKS AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
Engineers plan and build structures that are needed for the development of society, and they
also plan where, when, how, with which financing system and within which legal framework
they will be constructed; these engineering structures are built in an environment that is in
a precarious, fragile and sometimes even hostile state, and society is becoming increasingly concern over studying the impact of building such works on the environment.
Figure 1. Popocatapetl Volcano.
Natural hazards are the other side of the coin where this fragility is concerned. Earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, floods, avalanches, debris flows and mudslides, are all phenomena
whose force often exceeds our capacity to counteract their effects. The defence strategy is
based upon a greater in-depth working knowledge of these natural phenomena, so that
we can increase our safety against the risks involved. For example, either by planning structures that can better withstand a seismic tremor, designing dams that can hold back, reroute
or divert large masses of mud, or by prohibiting the building of homes in zones that could
be affected by flooding.
It is essential to be able to predict the consequences of these phenomena. There are three
different ways of forecasting; (i) studying a full-scale prototype, (ii) resorting to scale models,
and finally, (iii) with the aid of mathematical and numerical models, which is the option that
is most extensively used in engineering. A mathematical model is merely a set of equations
that describe the way the system being studied behaves. For example, mass balance or linear
momentum equations. These equations are developed after the basic physical phenomena
have been understood and when a series of simplifications have been made. They are generally systems of partial differential equations, for which the variables used to describe the
problem are unknown.
Figure 2. Simulation of a lahar with the Finite
Elements Method, using the Geoflow program.
The occurrence of the aforementioned phenomena is relatively infrequent in our country.
However they can and do cause great damage and considerable loss of life in other countries. But if they are not very common … Why study them? There are several reasons for
doing so. First of all, we are equipped with powerful analysis and simulation tools that many
other countries have not yet been able to develop. Secondly, the international vocation of
our engineers has led them to plan and construct works in zones where such phenomena
happen frequently, so it is vital to know a great deal about them and understand how they
take place. Thirdly, the fact that they are not as likely to happen in Spain should not lead to
complacency, because their occurrence cannot be ruled out.Therefore, the more we can learn
from other countries the better we will be prepared from a professional perspective.
In recent years, the CEDEX has been involved in cooperation work of this type, financed from
a variety of sources, and the AECI (Spanish International Cooperation Agency) played an
outstanding role in this respect. Taking part as members of the European networks (ALERT
- Geomaterials) has enabled the CETA to improve the quality of the models developed in
Spain, which have been applied in China, El Salvador, Morocco and Mexico. Furthermore,
these activities have yielded extra benefits, because it has been possible to use the experience gained in those countries to improve models that have been applied in Europe (France
and Italy).

Method, using the Geoflow_sph program.
One interesting example is the modelling of lahars from the Mexican volcano Popocatapetl, for the purpose of which two propagation models were perfected for large tracts of
land. Figure 1 shows a general view of the volcano, and the results of two models devised,
one with a Finite Elements model and the other of the SPH type, can be seen in Figures 2

Sounding of the bridge over the Escudo River (San Vicente de la Barquera).
In the field of Structures, there has been continuity in
the collaboration with, and the providing of technical assistance to, the different Departments of the Ministries of Public Works, Environment, and Culture
and Sport. Below you will find the most relevant projects quoted.
In relation to technical assistance to the Ministry of
Public Works’ Highways Agency in the field of bridges and structures, the sounding procedure for cantilever bridges on the national roads network has
continued. Specifically, the viaducts over the Tagus
and Guadiana Rivers (A-5) were sounded, along with
the Santos viaduct over the Eo River. The bridge over
the Lladoner River in Barcelona, the bridge over the
Adra River in Puente del Río, Almería, and the structures on the CN-340 road between Almería and Alicante were also inspected. Other similar inspections
have been the evaluation of Colindres bridge over the
Asón River, and the Escudo River bridge in San Vicente de la Barquera, where a detailed inspection procedure was carried out on welded joints, and
bolt-tightening and tension was measured with normal levels of traffic. The Sella viaduct in Ribadesella,
on the Cantabrian motorway, was also inspected. The
majority of the aforementioned structures were inspected using the self-supporting bridge inspection
platform.

A research programme has continued in relation to
concrete for the Environment Ministry’s DirectorateGeneral of Quality and Environmental Evaluation.
It has focused on the use of aggregates from recycled concrete for use in the production of new concrete. With the completion of a laboratory study into
the properties of recycled concrete, a Work Group
has been coordinated, producing the annexe, “Recommendations for the use of recycled concrete”,
which will be included in the next review of the Spanish Code of practice for Structural Concrete (EHE).
This past experience will be used to carry out a pilot
trial using recycled concrete, in which the Central
Laboratory for Structures and Materials will provide
the necessary technical assistance for the project
and works management, in relation to the use of
recycled materials. The chosen application is a
cable-stayed, reinforced concrete bridge in the municipal area of Manises (Valencia), which will substitute the concrete structure already in existence.
For the Public State Ports Body, work has been carried out to determine which category of resistance
is adequate for concrete in marine environments, to
evaluate the behaviour of expansive cement, to evaluate the influence of sea water exposure in high-resistance concrete, to extend the study into corrosion
of reinforcement in tidal areas, and to analyse the
long-term evolution of the state of concrete in the marine environment.
The study into deterioration of concrete in dams has
continued for the Directorate-General of Water (Environment Ministry). The first, partial report on this
study has already been compiled. The aim of the
study is to increase current knowledge on the deterioration of concrete in dams, on the present state
of the concrete in these structures, and to establish
the criteria and requisites for materials to be used
for the construction of new dams.

In the field of metallic materials, trials have continued
for the standardisation of steel reinforcement for
prestressed concrete and of drawn wire for electrosoldered netting, as well as for the certification of active and passive reinforcement for concrete, steel
tubes and hollow sections, supports and columns for
street lighting, cross sections, bars and metallic sheets for structural applications and copper tubing for
thermal/ water/sanitary use.
As part of the trials with steel products for prestressed concrete, research has begun into the behaviour
of active reinforcement when it relaxes, at non-conventional temperatures, supported by laboratory
tests, according to ISO 15630/3 regulations.
Trials also continued to obtain the “N” mark certification for other materials and products such as thermal insulation, ceramic materials and polystyrene
arches. Trials have also been carried out for other
quality marks (international QUALICOAT certificate),
in relation to aluminium lacquering. Many other trials
were carried out on construction materials and products, included in horizontal activities for other Departments of the Central Laboratory itself or other
CEDEX Laboratories and Centres.
Monitoring of recognised quality certificates (N, CV
and Q marks) has continued in relation to products
and materials which are included in the EHE guidelines, and which have been carried out for the Mi-
nistry of Public Works’ General Technical Bureau.
This monitoring consists of analysis of samples
(taken at works sites or warehouses), review of documentation and the carrying out of a series of contrast tests. Products currently contained in this
monitoring programme are: cements, steel reinforcements and pre-cast concrete. Throughout 2005 there
have been a range of inspections in different places
in the Regions of Canary Islands, Castile La Mancha,
Murcia, Galicia, Asturias, Baleares, Castile-León, Catalonia and Aragón.
Implementation of the Quality System (ISO EN UNE
17025) has continued, as has renewal of ENAC accreditation. The Central Laboratory is currently accredited to carry out tests for metallic crash barriers for
vehicles, steel for reinforcement, structural steelwork
and thermal insulation. In 2005 accreditation was obtained for tests relative to materials for vertical signposting. Comparisons with various other Spanish and
overseas laboratories were carried out in several accredited tests during 2005.
As part of participation in the compilation of technical regulations, both in relation to structural topics
and materials, active participation has continued in
many Spanish and European standardisation committees, as has collaboration with various inter-departmental commissions related to construction
materials.
In particular, work corresponding to monitoring of
the preparation of Structural Eurocodes has been
completed for the Ministry of Public Works’ General
Technical Bureau (SGT). National Annexes have
been developed for those parts of the regulations already completed, and the first examples of calibration have been carried out.
The Laboratory’s facilities have improved with the
acquisition of thermo-controlled heaters for conditioning the Relaxation Lab. This equipment allows for
relaxation tests to be carried out at non-conventional temperatures. Automatic devices for the measurement of concrete shrinkage have also been put into
service.
Installation of the new inorganic materials laboratory
has been completed and work has begun on the new
Laboratory Library.
STUDY ON THE USE OF RECYCLED AGGREGATE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF STRUCTURAL CONCRETE
Recycled aggregate is the aggregate obtained by processing construction and demolition rubble. According to the nature of the original residual
material, recycled aggregates can be classified as recycled aggregates from concrete, recycled aggregates from ceramics, or mixed aggregates,
when they come from a mixture of different residual material.
Since the publication of the National Construction and Demolition Residual Materials Plan (PNRCD) in 2001, use of construction and demolition
residual materials (RCDs) has been promoted. One of the aims of this plan is to reach a minimum recycling level of 60% of RCDs by 2006.
In order to promote the recycling of these residual materials (currently less than 15%), regulations must be put in place to guarantee adequate
use of materials for different applications. In Spain, regulations are currently being developed for use of these materials, both for road construction and for use in concrete.
Few countries have regulations or recommendations in place for the use of this type of aggregates in structural concrete, with different tendencies regarding quality levels required for recycled aggregate, the maximum amount of aggregate permitted in concrete, and limitations as to applications for this concrete. The lack of standardisation in international regulations calls for specific studies to evaluate the properties of recycled
aggregates currently produced in Spain and their influence on concrete. To this end, the CEDEX Central Laboratory for Structures and Materials
has carried out an experimental study aiming to establish regulations, promoted by the Environment Ministry, which has led to the publication of
a doctoral thesis on the subject.
The work carried out in this study falls into two phases. The first of these has consisted in the control of recycled aggregate production in
Spain today, with a full characterisation being carried out, in line with the requirements established by the EHE (Spanish structural concrete
code of practice). The results reached have allowed for regulatory requisites to be established, that should make recycled aggregate satisfactory for use in structural concrete, as well as the maximum percentage appropriate so that a combination of natural and recycled aggregate
meets EHE specifications.
The second part of the study has consisted of the evaluation of the influence of different percentages of recycled aggregate on the properties, both
of fresh and hardened concrete. This has allowed for the establishment of a maximum recommended percentage of coarse recycled aggregate in
structural concrete, so that the quality of the recycled concrete is adequate.
To this end, a top limit of quantity of recycled aggregate has been selected, admissible for the production of concrete according to the specifications established in the first phase, and the following properties of the concrete have been tested: consistency, air content, compression resistance, traction resistance, elasticity and shrinkage - in concrete with 20%, 50% and 100% coarse recycled aggregate.
The results of this study have allowed for the establishment of recommendations for the use of recycled aggregate in the production of structural
concrete. The following are amongst the most important:
- Use of coarse recycled aggregate (> 4 mm) from concrete rubble
- Maximum substitution of 20% of coarse natural aggregate
- Additional specifications to the recycled and natural aggregate
- Application in mass and reinforced concrete of fck £ 40 N/mm2
In November 2002, the “Recycled Concrete” Work Group was also founded, coordinated by CEDEX, at the request of the Permanent Concrete
Commission and the “ACHE, Technical-Scientific Structural Concrete Association”. It was charged with drafting a document, complementary to the
Process for obtaining recycled concrete.

current structural concrete regulations (EHE, Spanish Structural Concrete Code of Practice), containing specific recommendations on the use
of recycled aggregate in this application. This document was passed to the Permanent Concrete Commission in October 2005.
On account of this experience it was decided to carry out a pilot trial using recycled concrete, in which the Central Structures and
Materials Laboratory would provide the necessary technical assistance for the project and works management, in relation to the use of
recycled materials.
The chosen application is a cable-stayed bridge (Figure 2) in the municipal area of Manises (Valencia), which will substitute the concrete
structure already in existence (Figure 3). The aim of this project is to recycle concrete material from the old structure to produce part of the
concrete for the new one.
Due to the novel nature of using recycled aggregates in concrete, especially in the type of structure in this project, coarse recycled aggregate will substitute a maximum 20% of the coarse natural aggregate in the HA-35 concrete used for the slabs of the new bridge.
It has been decided to recycle the entire structure. Part of the materials will be used in the new bridge, while the rest will go to the road building works that will link the bridge with Paterna, some 750 m long, using the recycled aggregate for the road’s sub-base.
The phases of the study take in, firstly, a characterisation of the materials in the current structure to be demolished (Figure 6). This characterisation has, amongst other factors, allowed for the definition of elements to be re-used in the concrete of the new bridge.
The type of processing required for the rubble produced has also been analysed, in order to obtain aggregate of adequate characteristics.
Finally, a control plan for recycled materials has been drafted, both for the aggregate produced and for the concrete to be produced using it.
This project is a milestone in the field of recycling of residual material from construction and demolition, both in Spain and at an international level, on account of the type of bridge to be built. This is bound to provide a better understanding of these materials, and to promote
their use in the future.

procedure that had been developed by the aforementioned company and a final report was prepared containing a summary of the results obtained.
APPLYING THE SURFACE WAVE SPECTRAL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE (SWSA) TO CONTROL
THE IMPROVEMENTS MADE IN HARBOUR GROUND WITH VERY LOW RESISTANCE LEVELS
One of the most important geophysical techniques that
the Laboratorio de Geotecnia has been developing in
recent years to characterise the elastic properties of
the ground land is Surface Wave Spectral Analysis. This
technique is a very suitable non-destructive method
for establishing the velocity of S waves in the
ground–Vs-, especially when there are surface layers
that are more rigid where it is not possible to use the
traditional refraction methods. Furthermore, the fact
that this method can be carried out quickly and is
“global” in nature, sometimes means that there are
advantages in using this technique instead of others
such as “crosshole” and “downhole”, for which it is
necessary to drill boreholes.
Cuéllar and Valerio described the geotechnical applications of Surface Waves in the Book “Geotechnics in the
Year 2000”, a tribute to Professor Jiménez Salas, which
was jointly published by the CEDEX and the Sociedad
Española de Mecánica del Suelo in that same year.
Figure 2. General view of the treated zone
A very brief description is given below of how this technique is applied to studying the homogeneity of the “soil-cement crust” after having
treated the sludge lying in the South Dock in the Port of Valencia using the deep soil mixing technique.
APPLICATION OF THE SWSA METHOD TO STUDYING THE HOMOGENEITY OF THE “SOIL-CEMENT CRUST”
IN THE SOUTH DOCK OF THE PORT OF VALENCIA
The surface to which the treatment was applied can be seen in Figures 1 and 2. As can be seen in these figures, the improvement is made
along bands, in such a way that in each position the machine can treat, “cells”, which in this case were approximately 4 x 4 x 4 m 3.
Figure 3 shows the “mixer” that was used to create the soil – cement mixture, and two different moments in the improvement procedure can
be seen in Figures 4 and 5.
The first tests to be conducted using the SWSA technique (figure 6) were performed on several “cells” belonging to bands L and M (See Figure 1),
which had been finished about two weeks before the test took place. A zone on the untreated strip P was also selected with a view to estimating the stiffness of the sludge.
The reason for testing bands L and M was because trials were still being conducted, which meant that different proportions of cement could
be used for one of the bands.
In view of the fact that the main purpose of the test was to study the homogeneity of the soil being treated, the criterion followed was the
quality of the records obtained (coherence and phase). On the basis of this criterion, it was considered that strip M proved to be more homogeneous than band L.
The Laboratorio intends to apply this type of test on at least two more occasions. The second phase, that will be conducted when the whole
zone has been treated and the third phase, that will take place after a period during which the sludge will be compacted by means of drains
and preloading.

During the course of 2005 the preparatory groundwork
was done for holding an exhibition to coincide with the
centenary of the birth of the engineer Carlos Fernández
Casado (1905-1988), who was born one hundred years ago
in March. A man of universal knowledge, apart from his
technical training as a Civil Engineer and as a Telecommunications Engineer - which began in 1924 and 1927,
respectively -, he also studied Philosophy, and subsequently Law. In his career, Carlos Fernández Casado
managed to combine the two facets of constructor and
humanist. He was both an author and lecturer on the
subject of bridges and structures who left a permanent
mark on an entire chapter of our recent public works
history. As a theoretician and as an author of treatises,
he epitomised the reflection that should go hand in hand
with practising one’s profession. In the case of Carlos
Fernández Casado, he tackled not only technical but
also aesthetical questions, as well as studying historic
public works. It is planned to hold the exhibition, which
is being organised by the engineer Leonardo Fernández
Troyano, during the first 3 months of 2007 in the Sala
de las Arquerías de los Nuevos Ministerios.
In the final three months of 2007, it is also planned to
hold in the Sala de las Arquerías de los Nuevos Ministerios, the exhibition Ars Mechanicae. Tecnología medieval
en España (Ars Mechanicae. Medieval Technology in
Spain), in collaboration with the Juanelo Turriano
Trust, the groundwork for which was initiated in the
final months of 2005.The aim of this exhibition is to give
an insight into the techniques that were used in the
kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula in the Medieval Period, paying special attention to those techniques that
were applied to a wide range of public works, ranging
from roads and bridges, irrigation and water supply
works, the construction of ports and lighthouses, to
castles and forts, encompassing the widest variety of
devices and machines from the period.
Another significant chapter in the year’s activities was
itinerant exhibitions, which included the preparatory
work for Artifex. Ingeniería romana en España (Artifex.
Roman Engineering in Spain), produced by CEHOPU,
and organised in collaboration with the Subdirección
Imon waterwheel.
General de Promoción de las Bellas Artes (Ministry of
Culture) and the Juanelo Turriano Trust, which has
prompted the republishing of the sold-out exhibition catalogue, It is a version of the exhibition of the same
name shown at the Museo Arqueológico Nacional de
Madrid in 2002, which has been especially adapted for
travelling, the reason for making it a roaming exhibition
being to ensure that the broadest sectors of the population in the different Autonomous Regions have an opportunity to see it. The first venue was the Museo
Arqueológico de Sevilla, where, in collaboration with
the Itálica Trust, it was officially opened to the public
on 23rd October by the Minister of Fomento. The aim
of Artifex is to make the public aware of the great legacy that the Romans left to the world, demonstrating
their knowledge in a variety of technological areas, placing special emphasis on the way in which this knowledge was applied to civil engineering in Hispania.
Plans have been made for the exhibition to be shown
in Tarragona, Murcia, Barcelona, etc.
The exhibition Obras Públicas en Castilla-La Mancha (Public Works in Castilla-La Mancha), organised in collaboration with the Demarcación de Castilla-La Mancha
del Colegio de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos, was first shown in Toledo and features the public
works creations that have been constructed within the
aforementioned Autonomous Region, and has been
shown in the different capitals of the Region. The exhibition, which features engineering works and projects that have been developed in Castilla-La Mancha
from historical times up to the present day, visited Albacete, Guadalajara, Ciudad Real and Talavera de la
Reina in 2005.
The exhibition Puertos españoles en la historia (Spanish
Ports throughout History) continued its travels, and
was on view in the Iglesia de Sant Francesc en Montblanc (Tarragona) on 21st July, where it remained until
4th September.
The exhibition, Iribarren. Ingeniería y Mar, first shown in
the year 2000, was inaugurated in its English version,
Iribarren. Engineering and Sea, in 2005, the accompanying catalogue also being translated into English. The
objective of this new version was to reach an international target and it was inaugurated on the occasion
of the holding in Madrid from 3rd to 7th July, of the
“Fifth International Symposium on Ocean Wave Measurement and Analysis WAVES 2005”, organised by the
CEDEX. A book entitled Las olas en la pintura. De la
calma a la tempestad (Waves in Painting. From Calm
to Storm” was published to coincide with the occasion;
the aim of this work was to show experts who observe
the sea, how artists view the seascape in different ways.
The book contains the reproductions of 50 paintings of
the sea and ocean waves, and is supplemented with
brief literary fragments that make reference to the subject matter, extracted from some of the best works of
universal literature.
The book Essays on the history of the theory of structures.
In honour of Jacques Heyman was published in English, on
the occasion of the symposium Historical Perspectives
on Structural Analysis, held with a view to paying a tribute to Professor Jacques Heyman and in collaboration
with the Instituto Juan de Herrera. The aforementioned
work contains the papers presented at that symposium,
together with a list of tests, where the world’s greatest
experts on the subject provide a historical account of
how structural theory and calculation has evolved.
The book La construcción de puentes en el siglo XVIII (18th
Century Bridge Construction), by Jean Rodolphe Perronet, is worth a separate mention. The author was
held to be the best French Engineer of his day, and his
writings had major effects upon the 19th Century; this
publication contains a selection of some of his most
important projects and reports, some of which are hitherto unpublished, providing insight into bridge construction engineering techniques in 18th Century France.
Furthermore, the good work carried out in the first edition of the book El arte de construir en Roma (The Art of
La construcción de puentes del S. XVIII. Jean-Rodolph Perronet.
64 CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS HISTÓRICOS DE OBRAS PÚBLICAS Y URBANISMO
Construction in Rome) was critically acclaimed both
by the general public and specialists alike. A second
edition was printed in response to the great demand
that the book’s subject matter has had and still has, coupled with the CEHOPU’s own interest and that of the
Instituto Juan de Herrera.
The book Historia de los Ferrocarriles de Vía Estrecha (History of Narrow Gauge Railway Lines) was prepared and
published in collaboration with the Fundación de los
Ferrocarriles Españoles (Spanish Railway Trust). Split
into two volumes, this work analyses the development
of narrow gauge railways in Spain throughout their 150year history. The first volume deals with the history of
railway companies, as seen from a company perspective, whereas the second examines the railway company period in greater depth, as well as dealing with
aspects concerning infrastructure, technology and rolling stock.
Finally, reference must be made to the publication of
the book Los Ingenios. Colección de vistas de los principales
ingenios de azúcar de la isla de Cuba (The Sugar Refineries.
Collection of views of the Main Sugar Refineries on the
Island of Cuba). It is a facsimile edition of the original
work published in Cuba, one of the best made publications in America that, apart from its artistic value, provides very useful information about the main Cuban
sugar refineries in the 1850s, through 29 prints drawn
and lithographed by the French illustrator Eduardo Laplante, who was commissioned to do so by the author,
Justo Cantero. This edition is much more than a facsimile because it has been updated with the inclusion
of new introductory studies that consider different aspects of this singular work. The book also features an
analysis of the socio-economic questions and hitherto
unpublished statistical appendices.
In the area of documentation, the CEHOPU Library currently has a list of 7,300 titles of monographic works
and almost 150 periodical publications that have been
acquired either through purchase, donation or exchange, and users can refer to it via Internet in the automated catalogue of the network of CEDEX libraries.
In 2005, the students at the Departamento de Biblioteconomía y Documentación (Universidad Carlos III) did
their practicals at the library in May. Other outstanding
activities included the signing of a collaboration agreement with the Universidad Carlos III, which will enable students doing their Masters in Archivistics at the
aforementioned University to do their practicals at the
CEHOPU as from 2006. Work was also completed on
the digitalisation of the Revista de Obras Públicas and
making it available on the Internet, in collaboration
with the Colegio de Ingenieros de Caminos Canales y
Puertos.

During the course of the year, work progressed on improving the institution’s Website, so that it will be possible to publicise the CEHOPU’s work and initiatives in
all its spheres of activity from the moment the Centro
was established up to the present time, without forgetting forthcoming projects and taking into account the
recommendations for creating Websites for Public Bodies of the State Authorities. The idea is to show the
activities of the Centro in a clear and visual way, describing the services that are offered by the CEHOPU
and the entities with which it collaborates, as well as
providing details of the lectures and seminars that are
being organised and setting up two databases, one for
exhibitions and the other for publications, both of which
contain systematic and easy-to-access information.
A variety of reports were drawn up for other centres,
such as the advisability and necessity of putting back
in their original site, two milestones, in the form of columns, on the Vía de la Plata, a historical report on the
Special Plan for the Prado – Recoletos Center Line in
Madrid, amongst others.
With respect to research work conducted throughout
the year, one of the most outstanding activities was
Groundwork for an Exhibition on Spanish Engineering
in the Mediterranean Area under the Crowns of Aragón and Castilla, carried out through an agreement signed with the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.
Another extremely interesting study was the Approach
to the Historical Development of the Relationship between Railways
and Cities, undertaken by virtue of an agreement reached
with the Fundación de los Ferrocarriles Españoles, involving studies conducted in 17 Spanish cities, which
yielded important data about the way in which railways
affected the urban development of the boroughs and
how the subsequent evolution of the urban structure
gave rise to changes, sometimes drastic ones, in the layout of rail access to towns and cities.
The CEHOPU also collaborated with the Fundación de
los Ferrocarriles Españoles on the joint creation of the
script for the Television Series Vive la Vía, which highlights the incorporation of the historical nature of railway heritage adapted for use as Nature Trails, which
was broadcast by Channel 2 (TVE).
In the area of institutional relations, the initiative has
been taken once again to strengthen the ties with both
national and international bodies; on the domestic
front, reference must be made to the collaborations
with the Universidad Carlos III, encouraging students
from the aforementioned university or those from the
Universidad Politécnica de Madrid to do their practicals at the CEHOPU, through the Chair of Aesthetics
at the Escuela de Caminos, Canales y Puertos or the
Instituto Juan de Herrera; the Ministry of Culture, establishing agreements with the Biblioteca Nacional de
Madrid, the Museo Arqueológico Nacional, trusts such
as the Fundación Itálica, the Fundación Juanelo Turriano and the Fundación de los Ferrocarriles Españoles. Positive contact is being kept up with Puertos del
Estado (Tarragona Port Authority), local councils, museums (Arqueológico de Sevilla, Museum Cemento Rezola in San Sebastián), Fundación de Cultura Islámica,
etc. for the purpose of holding different exhibitions.
On an international level, the CEHOPU became a full
member of the TICCIH (The International Committee
for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage), so that
it can make its presence felt in the area of studying, conserving, recovering and restoring Industrial Heritage;
the CEHOPU is currently collaborating with the Architekturmuseum der Technischen University of Munich,
providing exhibits for the exhibition on sports architecture that is being prepared on the occasion of the football World Cup 2006, and with the Musée des arts et
métiers (Paris), for the exhibition “Béton” which is scheduled to be inaugurated in the first half of 2006 in Paris.

PROJECT FOR THE FERNÁNDEZ CASADO EXHIBITION
2005 marked the centenary of the birth of Carlos Fernández Casado. To commemorate the anniversary of this outstanding figure of Spanish Engineering the Centro de Estudios Históricos de Obras Públicas y Urbanismo took the initiative of holding an exhibition in Madrid, with a view to
showing a representative cross section of his works as a whole, for the purpose of which the Centro was able to count on the support of the Oficina
Técnica Carlos Fernández Casado, S. L. itself for the essential groundwork for this initiative.
There are numerous reasons for holding this exhibition, so it is only necessary to list them briefly. His extensive training in a wide variety of areas,
because he was not only a Civil Engineer and a Telecommunications Engineer, but also a Radiotelegraphy Engineer in France, as well as possessing
Degrees in Law and in Philosophy and the Arts, where he graduated in History, all of which served to give him a very broad base for facing up to
the challenges posed by engineering and public works.
His devotion to the history of engineering and the philosophic discipline of aesthetics, spurred on by the teachings of Xavier Zubiri, led him to attempt
to purify structures not only from a formal perspective but also where the construction process was concerned, by dispensing with centering and
replacing it with self-centering that served as the metallic support for the concrete, or by means of voussoirs, semi-arches and segments of prefabricated concrete that were mounted as the workers advanced cantilever-style, or along central towers, in the case of arches. The aim was to
prevent unnecessarily high costs for such auxiliary elements as scaffolding, centering or formwork, thereby ensuring that no unnecessary time was
wasted on dismantling, thereby bringing about a reduction in cost and making the whole design and construction process not only more efficient
but also more economical.The reason for these advanced solutions lay in a clear interest in the research work that he conducted from the very beginning of his career, including photoelasticity, which he was already working on in 1932; he continued his activities in the latter field with the company
Huarte y Cía. His interest in this area was one of the reasons that prompted him to establish his own Technical Office –which is still operating today–,
where he experimented using microconcrete and plastic models, amongst many others.
Carlos Fernández Casado’s contribution to civil works was undoubtedly of great importance, in view of the fact that he was one of the very first
engineers to use prefabricated concrete in Spain, placing an ongoing emphasis on saving costs and simplifying the construction processes by ensuring that different construction stages could be performed simultaneously and by controlling the manufacture of the elements in optimum conditions, without adverse climatic circumstances and using the most suitable technical and human resources. Not only was he an expert in reinforced
concrete and structures, but he also pioneered the pre-stressed concrete technique in Spain, which made it possible to rely on stronger and more
resistant structures thanks to better technical qualities.
Another major question, and one that is consistent with the aforementioned philosophical aesthetics, was his endeavour to cause as little negative
impact as possible on the landscape, something that is now the order of the day thanks to compulsory environmental impact studies and lands66 CENTRO DE ESTUDIOS HISTÓRICOS DE OBRAS PÚBLICAS Y URBANISMO

cape assessment, aspects that he was already including as an essential part of his projects many years earlier. This environmental factor pervaded
all his works, a fact that is particularly epitomised by his devotion to strict height bridges, invariably very simple structures with pure lines, which
in no way detracted from the complexity of the task, quite the opposite.
All of this serves to endorse the work that the CEHOPU is carrying out on an ongoing basis to make the public aware of the engineer’s great material and theoretical legacy, by holding an exhibition that, during the first 3-monthly period of 2007, will be presented in the Sala de las Arquerías
de los Nuevos Ministerios.
First of all, the exhibition consists of a biographical part, which shows the construction processes chronologically, using photographs of the different stages that they went through; another section will deal with his devotion to historical research, such as, for instance, his research into Roman
roads or bridges, and the restoration of ancient engineering works, which was Fernández Casado’s other great passion. All of these sections are
supplemented with models not only of his constructions but also his experimental work and his projects.
His research work and theoretical production will also be on view, in the form of an exhibition of original documentation, consisting of texts, articles, publications of all kinds and, when necessary, these will be featured on panels showing reproductions of them.
To coincide with the exhibition, a book will be published containing studies on the life and achievements of Fernández Casado, together with as
complete a list as possible of his works and some writings from the author himself.
Various preparatory activities had already been carried out when this report was being drawn up, so it is possible to give an insight into some of
the groundwork tasks that are being undertaken to bring this exhibition together. These activities include the digitalization of the graphic documentation, a selection of his extensive bibliography and written documentation, as well as the plans, spreadsheets, original drawings, etc., from the
different works carried out by Carlos Fernández Casado.
