Abstract

El uso de material vegetal vivo y materiales biodegradables en las obras de estabilizacin, control de erosin y, en general, restauracin ecolgica, incluyen en la fase diseo una serie de particularidades a las que la ingeniera civil tradicional no tiene que enfrentarse. Es precisamente esta caracterstica la que est ralentizando la adopcin de las tcnicas de bioingeniera en el mundo de la obra civil y la geotecnia. La utilizacin de un lenguaje comn entre el mundo de la restauracin ecolgica y la ingeniera tradicional permitir tender puentes entre ambas disciplinas y mejorar tanto su colaboracin como sus sinergias. Por otro lado, la anterior situacin tambin limita las posibilidades de estandarizacin e inclusin en pliegos de condiciones de las tcnicas de bioingeniera. El objetivo general principal de este trabajo consiste, pues, en aportar nuevas herramientas de calculo y diseo para apoyar el proceso de especializacin del sector de la eco-ingeniera y facilitar la transicin de los tcnicos de la ingeniera civil y la geotecnia al mundo de las obras de restauracin ecolgica. Para dar respuesta a esta empresa, este trabajo se ha estructurado en cuatro bloques. Un primer bloque aportando un nuevo mtodo para mejorar la simulacin del comportamiento mecnico de un suelo con races. Un segundo bloque, aportando nuevas metodologas de diseo que incluyan las particularidades de las obras de eco-ingeniera. Un tercer bloque donde se desarrolla una metodologa no invasiva para facilitar la toma de datos necesaria para simular los efectos de la vegetacin en los anlisis de estabilidad. Finalmente, en el cuarto bloque se analiza la evolucin de una obra de eco ingeniera para mostrar la gran importancia que tiene la fase de seguimiento en este tipo de obras. ABSTRACT The use of both living plant material and biodegradable materials in slope stabilization and erosion control works, include several particularities at the design level stage that traditional civil and geotechnical engineering do not need to face. This situation is slowing down the incorporation of eco-engineering techniques in traditional engineering sectors. The use of a common language between ecological restoration and traditional engineering will permit building bridges between them as well as improving their collaboration possibilities and synergies. On the other hand, the preceding situation also limits the necessary standardisation process of the eco-engineering works and their inclusion at the procurement stage. The main aim of this work consists in contributing with new design tools to both support the specialisation process of the eco-engineering sector and offer an easier transition for civil and geotechnical engineers to the ecological restoration world. In order to give a suitable answer to the preceding objectives this work has been organised into four blocks. A first block where a new methodology, allowing for a more realistic rooted soil mechanical behaviour simulation, is offered. A second block introducing new designAdvisors/Committee Members: Garca Rodrguez, Jos Luis, Mickovski, Slobodan B..
