A new and simplified approach to assess the pavement surface micro- and macrotexture
2017
Abstract Road safety depends on pavement skid resistance and surface texture. Skid resistance mainly depends on micro-texture and macrotexture. Skid and texture measurements on samples, in the laboratory, at the preliminary stage of the design, would enhance the design in terms of timing, costs, and reliability. Consequently, this study aims at setting up and validating simple methods for assessing surface texture and skid resistance based on core/sample measurements. Experiments were carried out and predictive relationships were set up to explain and predict results. Under given conditions, miniaturised macro-and microtexture tests (modified EN 13036-1 and modified EN 13036-4, respectively…
SURFACE AND MECHANISTIC PROPERTIES OF RECYCLED BITUMINOUS MIXTURES
2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Problem Often, when the characteristics of a bituminous mixture are analised, there are major differences between in-lab and in-situ results. This is due to the fact that the procedures and techniques implemented during the design phase (in lab) may be different from those used on site. Then, is very important to be able to predict the main properties of a mixture particularly when innovative materials are used. For example, when crumb rubber is used, phisical and volumetric properties of mixes may change over time, in particular due to the swelling phenomenon that it alters different properties of the mixture (e.g., viscosity). This study aims to investigate the main aspe…
Manuel Vázquez Montalbán y sus heterónimos en la revistra "Triunfo"
2022
The volume collects and analyzes the collaborations of Manuel Vázquez Montalbán in the magazine Triunfo, from the opinion article, to the report, from the short story to the comic strip, focusing on the use of heteronomous words. Following the path of the genre, the style and the narrative perspectives of the different contributions, the fertile osmosis between literary discourse and journalistic discourse is thus verified. The weekly appeared in 1946 in Valencia, playing a role of theater and film information and criticism. Since its transfer to Madrid in 1948, the magazine expanded its interests, inserting articles on domestic and foreign policy, until, in the 1960s, it became the intelle…
In-lab versus on-site measurement of surface performance of flexible pavements
2017
Road safety is one of the major problems which affect our society. Skid resistance mainly depends on a pavement surface microtexture and macrotexture. Macrotexture can be easily measured on site through the Sand Patch method (mean texture depth, MTD, UNI EN 13036-1, ASTM E 965, CNR B.U. 94/83). Carrying out the measurements above on the samples, in the laboratory, at the preliminary stage of the design of the pavement, would enhance the design in terms of timing and costs. In the light of the above, the objective of the study presented in this paper is to set up and validate a method for deriving the sand patch value based on core measurements. A Predictive relationship is proposed in terms…
Los "Sonetos espirituales" de Juan Ramón Jiménez: Macrotexto poético y cancionero amoroso
2012
El objetivo primordial de esta tesis es demostrar que los Sonetos espirituales de Juan Ramón Jiménez constituyen un modelo de macrotexto poético rigurosamente organizado. En efecto, existe la evidencia de una razón supratextual, ilativa, bajo la que se engloba premeditadamente todo el poemario dándole cohesión y organicidad y llevándolo a funcionar en su conjunto como una unidad de sentido, esto es, un cancionero amoroso. Para abordar y probar esta hipótesis hemos seguido la propuesta metodológica que el Dr. Arcadio López-Casanova expone en su estudio Macrotexto poético y estructuras de sentido. Análisis de modelos líricos modernos (2007). Por tanto, vinculado a la metodología macrotextual …
El macrotexto poético : claves para su determinación metodológica
2016
Toda metodología está llamada a abrir nuevos horizontes de lectura a quienes se acercan a leer poesía con mayor o menor intención analítica. Sin embargo, curiosamente dichos métodos han dejado de lado, en buena parte, a una realidad compositiva altamente demostrada y recurrente: los macrotextos poéticos. Se propone en este breve trabajo dar algunas de las claves metodológicas y terminológicas para analizarlos con cierta atención y profundidad, entendiendo, además, que este tipo de libros abundan en la literatura hispanoamericana a pesar de la escasa atención recibida. Sin la pretensión de querer establecer aquí un corpus poético suficientemente relevante, hemos querido aplicar, de manera or…
