1. Figure 2 Scheme used for attaching the extensiometric bands on a span of track between two consecutive sleepers track has been instrumented where the track passes through a 10 m high embankment The subterranean instrumentation installed consists on pres sure cells Linear Variable Differential Transformers LVDT and humidity and temperature sensors Superticial instru mentation comprises extensiometric bands stacked to the rail for measuring dynamic loads potentiometers for mea suring the relative displacement between rail and the slee per geophones and accelerometers placed both on the sleeper and on the rail and laser motion detectors for ab solute movement of the rails All these sensors are read at a rate of 1O OOO values per second Although many of these sensors provide data that can eo sily be converted into engineering variables in other ca ses it has been necessary to implement an initial analysis procedure such as the case for the measurement of abso lute vertical movement of the rails obtained through geopho nes and the loads generated by the passing of trains on a real track and by the actuators systems used in the test cell to simulate the passing of trains at ditferent speeds The CEDEX s Laboratorio de Geotecnia has recently perfec ted a range of procedures for measuring the latter two va riables on conventional and high speed lines as well as on the installation currently available at the CE

5. Within the area of water reuse the different regeneration processes have been monitored from their origin It is worth mentioning the participation in the DEREA project Demos traci n en Reutilizaci n de Aguas developed in Gran Co nary between 1995 and 1996 The project consisted of a pilot experimentation of the different water regeneration processes Furthermore Centro has also participated in the recent study about regeneration technologies to be applied according to the uses established on the Royal Decree 1620 2007 and the associated cost When purifying and regenerating wastewater sludge is produced in the different processes of the treatment This sludge is usually treated at the same plant to obtain its sta bilization The large development of water treatment in trastructure has brought an important production of sludge that needs treatment and evacuation The Directive 86 278 CEE regulates the conditions the sludge needs to have in order to be applied to agricultural soil limiting the content of heavy metal The Plan Nacional de Lodos de Depuradoras de Aguas Residuales 2001 2006 was ap proved in June 2001 The main objective of this plan has been the improvement of the management and in particu lar the optimization of agricultural use The production of sludge in 2006 was more than a million tons of dry mat ler an increase of more than 55 since 1997 Around 65 of the sludge produced was destined to agri cultu

After hurling the hammer 0 5 kg in weight with 12 7 mm diameter semispherical end from a height of 500 mm the sheet does not suffer from perfo ration at the impact area as proven by a later waterproof ing test The height used for testing rubbers is reduced to 300 mm Nonetheless the vulcanization experienced by this material with time enables it to withstand the test even from a height of 500 mm Therefore from the point of view of the dynamic impact we may say that the best per formance is found in high density polyethylene and the worst on rubber 5 The best behaviour of the geomembranes tested for static puncture was found on vinyl ethylene acetate copolymer rubber polypropylene and polyolefin Conversely the worst behaviour corresponded to high density polyethylene and chlorosulfonated polyethylene Furthermore homogeneous materials pertorm better than reintorced ones 6 Tear strength tested on polymer geosynthetic barriers made of polyethylene and on thermoplastic polyolefin trom the Puente Porto dam presents adequate values for this type of waterprooting sheet The values in polyethylene are ap propriate but not so in rubber The photographs taken during the carbon black dis persion test show that this dispersion is correct in all cases In a scale of 1 to 7 the value obtained was below 3 the lower the value the better the dispersion of the additive 8 When measuring the Resistance to traction welding
