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...
The University of Algarve in consortium with Saint-Gobain Weber Portugal and Cristal Construções -Materiais e Obras de Construção Civil is developing a new concept sustainable swimming pool which more energy efficient less environmental footprint reduced construction maintenance costs.The specific objectives are the use recycled materials, reduction CO2 emissions life cycle water losses, renewable from sun by exploiting thermal inertia materials surrounding consumption during structure...
