Madeira, like many mountainous volcanic islands, is susceptible to flash floods. Throughout its history, about 40 large events resulted in more than 1200 victims and countless damages. Recently, urban areas expanded greatly, leading a higher exposure of the population In order analyse ways reduce vulnerability decrease hazard urbanised, flood prone watershed Machico River, construction detention basins ( DB ) simulated. A hydrological hydraulic model was performed determine if they would be...
This work summarises the strategy adopted in European research project PERSISTAH. It aims to increase resilience of population, focusing on existing primary schools Algarve (Portugal) and Huelva (Spain) regions. Software was developed assess seismic safety these schools, considering different earthquake scenarios. Seismic retrofitting measures were studied numerically tested. Some them also implemented activities two case study (one each country). found that ground motion prediction...
A cobertura vegetal do solo é decisiva para redução dos efeitos erosivos impacto direto das gotas de chuva na superfície solo. Desta forma, objetivou-se com este estudo determinar o índice (CV) e desenvolver modelos sua estimativa a cultura da soja, usando os atributos climáticos no período chuvas intensas Sul Minas Gerais. As determinações CV foram feitas semanalmente, área experimental Departamento Ciência Solo, Universidade Federal Lavras, novembro 1999 maio 2000, em 28 cultivares soja...
The current standard NBR 7190/1997 (Project of Timber Structures) makes no reference to tests for determining the stiffness and strength in parts structural lumber; restricting analysis bodies-of-tests with small dimensions without defects. This paper presents an alternative method determine longitudinal modulus elasticity timber beams, based on Finite Element Method, as well Inverse Analysis Method optimization technique. Results show that methodology proposed by Brazilian can also be...
Atualmente, a norma técnica NBR 7190/1997 (Projeto de Estruturas Madeira) não faz referência ensaios que visem à determinação das propriedades rigidez e resistência em peças dimensões estruturais madeira serrada, restringindo-se esta análise corpos-de-prova pequenas isentos defeitos. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo, apresentar uma metodologia alternativa cálculo para do módulo elasticidade longitudinal baseada no Método dos Elementos Finitos, juntamente com otimização. Os resultados...
