A quebra dos paradigmas da maneira de ensinar vem sendo cada vez mais necessária para formação estudantes, pois a implementação métodos ensino interativos, práticos e colaborativos é fundamental o desenvolvimento habilidades críticas, criativas adaptativas, essenciais plena acadêmica. Vale destacar que as novas diretrizes curriculares nacionais engenharia (DCNs) recomendam os cursos graduação em devem proporcionar aos seus egressos técnicas adequadas observação, compreensão, registro análise...
The main goal of this paper is to develop a photogrammetric method in order obtain arobust tool for damage assessment and quantification rubble-mound armour layers during physicalscale model tests. With the present work, an innovative approach based on reduced number ofdigital photos proposed support identification affected areas. This work considers twosimple digital photographs recording instants before after completion physicaltest. Mathematical techniques were considered development...
Scale-model tests are usually required to evaluate the hydraulic and structural behavior of proposed rubble-mound breakwater designs. In order speed up ease armor layer damage assessment, we developed a technique based on stereo photogrammetry. A key feature this is its ability compensate for refraction in air-water interface, thus producing survey envelope without need empty wave flume or basin where scale model carried out. This article describes made establish confidence it evaluation...
: Abstract This paper studies novel ways to evaluate armour damage in physical models of coastal structures. High-resolution data for reference rubble mound breakwaters obtained under the HYDRALAB+ joint-research project are analysed and discussed. These tests used analyse way describe damage, influence sequence testing, touches on possible sea level rise. Results two test programmes were used. Firstly, 3D model carried out at University Porto, cooperation with Deltares, Here a wide...
A set of scale-model tests carried out to enlarge the range wave steepness values analysed in run-up, overtopping and armour layer stability studies, focusing on oblique extreme conditions their effects a gentler slope breakwater’s trunk roundhead, is presented this paper. stretch rubble mound breakwater (head part adjoining trunk, with 1(V):2(H)) was built basin at Leibniz University Hannover assess, under (wave 0.055) different incident angles (from 40º 90º), structure behaviour what...
This paper describes the experiments performed at National Laboratory for Civil Engineering (LNEC) aiming simulating, in a flume, wave propagation along constant slope bottom that ends on sea wall coastal defence structure, common structure employed Portuguese coast. The objective of these tests is to calibrate parameters FUNWAVE, Boussinesq type model, regions. first step validation methodology combine numerical and physical models study interactions between beaches structures. work...
Abstract This paper focuses on a study of different methodologies for surveying two-dimensional scale models rubble mound breakwaters. Tests were conducted in one the LNEC’s irregular wave flumes and involved use four using photogrammetric 3D scanning techniques. describes materials methods used during experiments, as well results obtained. The data analysis contains profiles comparison meshes each techniques, order to evaluate their application model tests Also, specific experimental...
Melby presents a formula to predict damage evolution in rubble-mound breakwaters whose armour layer is made of rock, based on the erosion measured scale-model tests and characteristics incident sea waves such tests. However, this only valid for layers rock range tested states. The present work aims show how methodology can be used establish similar breakwater where tetrapods are employed. For that, long-duration test series conducted with 1:50 scale model quay section Ericeira Harbour...
Para caracterizar a agitação marítima no Porto de Leixões após o prolongamento do quebra-mar exterior, sob condições alterações climáticas foi realizado um extenso grupo ensaios em modelo físico tridimensional agitação, num tanque LNEC, à escala 1:80, representando-se toda bacia portuária e exterior Leixões. Foram realizados com diferentes incidente para rumo W dois níveis maré, que correspondem ao nível médio preia-mar uma sobrelevação representativa dos efeitos das da sua influência na...
The existing data gaps triggered the interest in developing present experimental work, whose main goal is to contribute a new whole understanding of phenomena mitigate future sea level rise impacts European coastal structures, including run-up and overtopping characterization on rough permeable slopes. key point extend range wave steepness values run-up, armour layer stability studies, focusing oblique extreme conditions their effects sloping breakwater's trunk roundhead.
