Levantando las arquitecturas de las guerras en la costa del Mediterráneo (1936-1939)

During the civil war (1936-39) was built a network of defensive settlements on the coast in anticipation of attacks enemies, forming the so-called 'wall Mediterranean', because of its similarity with the Wall Atlantic of the World War II. These enclaves were composed of groups of batteries, bunkers and buildings. This communication comes to inventory and draw the remains of more than 50 architectures that are located in the Valencian South Coast (from Denia to Torrevieja), documenting the first ruins of hormigion armed with our history. It's a set of military settlements anti-aircraft, mostly scattered coastal rural, which are a great heritage and landscape value, and from which planes haven't been preserved. It is to lift current state record of them all, proceeding to its typological classification, in order to contribute to its assessment and protection on the grounds that they constitute a legacy of architectural heritage that increases our cultural memory.history.

Subsidence damage assessment of a Gothic church using differential interferometry and field data

The Santas Justa and Rufina Gothic church (fourteenth century) has suffered several physical, mechanical, chemical, and biochemical types of pathologies along its history: rock alveolization, efflorescence, biological activity, and capillary ascent of groundwater. However, during the last two decades, a new phenomenon has seriously affected the church: ground subsidence caused by aquifer overexploitation. Subsidence is a process that affects the whole Vega Baja of the Segura River basin and consists of gradual sinking in the ground surface caused by soil consolidation due to a pore pressure decrease. This phenomenon has been studied by differential synthetic aperture radar interferometry techniques, which illustrate settlements up to 100 mm for the 1993–2009 period for the whole Orihuela city. Although no differential synthetic aperture radar interferometry information is available for the church due to the loss of interferometric coherence, the spatial analysis of nearby deformation combined with fieldwork has advanced the current understanding on the mechanisms that affect the Santas Justa and Rufina church. These results show the potential interest and the limitations of using this remote sensing technique as a complementary tool for the forensic analysis of building structures.

Córdoba en las “minutas cartográficas” del Instituto Geográfico Nacional (1871-1900) y su hábitat rural como herramienta cartográfica

El señalado valor paisajístico y patrimonial del poblamiento rural está fuera de toda duda. La amplia bibliografía ha puesto de manifiesto la importancia de los pueblos, cortijos, caseríos y haciendas en el contexto de la España rural. Pero esa infinidad de valores ha de completarse con el significado que el hábitat rural adquirió en los orígenes de la cartografía contemporánea. En el presente estudio examinamos, de forma suscita, la perspectiva técnica de la construcción cartográfica y topográfica de finales del siglo XIX, así como su estrecha relación con el hábitat rural como recurso cartográfico en la primera serie topográfica 1:50.000 del Instituto Geográfico. Para ello recurrimos a los itinerarios topográficos realizados entre 1871 y 1893 y a sus resultados en las “minutas cartográficas” para una muestra municipal de la provincia de Córdoba: La Carlota, Conquista, Fernán Núñez, Palma del Río, Valsequillo y Zuheros. Las deducciones concluyentes aspiran a ser un veraz ejemplo del significado cartográfico del hábitat rural como herramienta para el desarrollo de la primera cartografía topográfica cordobesa y española.

Pervivencia o “supervivencia” de la tradición en el Guadarrama segoviano. Procesos y prácticas

El aprovechamiento ganadero es el factor dominante de la organización del espacio en el Guadarrama segoviano. Si bien, desde el decenio de 1950, la actividad pecuaria empieza a entrar en un declive prolongado, reduciéndose el número de explotaciones y la cuantía de cabezas de ganado. Un abandono de las prácticas pastoriles que se evidencia, igualmente, en la inexorable tendencia hacia la simplificación en el manejo de los animales y la utilización selectiva del suelo. Sucede, de este modo, la crisis del sistema tradicional y del modelo territorial en el que este se apoyaba, progresivamente sustituido por una organización geográfica de corte tradicional-degradado. Es, en definitiva, lo que se ha convenido en titular como la “supervivencia” de la tradición. Y cuyo correlato se encuentra en el prolongado proceso de despoblación acontecido desde entonces, como las sensibles mermas de población registradas, las perceptibles modificaciones habidas en el tamaño y número de asentamientos o el excesivo grado de envejecimiento terminan por demostrar. Una “supervivencia” completamente supeditada, de este modo, al agotamiento social.

Cálculo del asiento elástico tridimensional de cimentaciones de rigidez variable en terrenos con una capa rígida inclinada

Las fórmulas basadas en la teoría de la elasticidad son ampliamente utilizadas para el cálculo de asientos de cimentaciones, ya que la totalidad de la normativa geotécnica recomienda su empleo. No obstante, estos métodos no cubren todas las situaciones geotécnicamente posibles ya que frecuentemente las condiciones geológicas son complejas. En este trabajo se analiza la influencia de la presencia de una capa rígida inclinada en los asientos elásticos de una cimentación superficial. Para ello se han resuelto 273 modelos tridimensionales no lineales de elementos finitos, variando los parámetros clave del problema: la inclinación y la profundidad de la capa rígida y la rigidez de la cimentación. Finalmente, se ha realizado un análisis estadístico de los resultados de los modelos y se ha propuesto una fórmula que puede ser utilizada en el cálculo de asientos por métodos elásticos, para tener en consideración la presencia de una capa rígida inclinada en profundidad.

La Cova de l’Agüela (Vall d’Alcalà, Alicante). Una cueva-santuario en el corazón de la Contestania Ibérica

En este artículo damos a conocer un yacimiento y un conjunto de materiales hasta el momento inéditos y que se une de este modo al amplio repertorio de yacimientos ibéricos conocidos para el área central de la Contestania. Así mismo tratamos de aproximarnos a las prácticas rituales que pudieron ser llevadas a cabo en este tipo de espacios sacros así como comprender la cueva-santuario en el territorio en que se inserta y su relación con otros núcleos de poblamiento en época Ibérica.

Los asentamientos de pequeño tamaño de la Edad del Bronce en tierras valencianas: a propósito del Cabezo del Polovar (Villena, Alicante)

Se presentan los datos obtenidos de las excavaciones en el yacimiento de la Edad del Bronce de Cabezo del Polovar (Villena), conocido desde los años 1960 gracias a los trabajos realizados por J. Mª Soler en Villena. Los trabajos llevados a cabo han permitido conocer mejor las características de los pequeños asentamientos del “Bronce Valenciano”, así como obtener datos preliminares sobre la organización de estas comunidades.
