    Este registo pertence ao Repositório Científico do LNECPor solicitação da Secretaria de Estado dos Transportes, Obras Públicas e Comunicações, do Ministério da Economia do Governo de Portugal, entidade responsável pelo “Plano Estratégico dos Transportes e Infraestruturas” (PETI3+), o Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil, I. P. (LNEC) foi incumbido de proceder à elaboração do relatório ambiental deste plano para efeitos do respetivo processo de avaliação ambiental, nos termos do disposto no Decreto-Lei n.º 232/2007 de 15 de junho. O presente documento constitui o referido relatório ambiental. Dele consta uma caracterização do objeto de avaliação, e, de acordo com a metodologia adotada, uma análise das suas relações com um quadro estratégico de referência, assim como com os fatores críticos identificados, numa perspetiva de desenvolvimento sustentável. São extraídas as conclusões e apresentadas as recomendações que se afiguram de maior relevância neste âmbito. De acordo com a legislação em vigor, este relatório associado ao plano será submetido a consulta pública, devendo o relatório e os resultados da consulta ser tidos em conta na elaboração da versão final do PETI3+.3520233ppSecretaria de Estado dos Transportes, Obras Públicas e Comunicações, Ministério da Economia do Governo de Portugal / NÃO CONFIDENCIALC

    An Integrated Approach for Flood Risk Assessment in Estuaries

    No full text
    Abstract: Floods in estuaries are associated to different hazard sources, such as high tide levels, storm surges and large fresh water discharges. In adjacent urban areas, the impact of estuarine high water levels is often amplified due to inadequate drainage conditions. As requested by the European Directive on Floods, flood risk assessment and management is becoming a priority as the effects of climate change and the growth of exposed population will increase inundation vulnerability. An integrated approach for flood risk assessment was developed, in which inundation for different climate scenarios and return periods is evaluated through estuarine and urban drainage numerical modelling. Exposed elements assessment, including population, infrastructures and environmental resources, supports territorial vulnerability mapping, and risk is analysed considering different spatial scales (regional and local) and territorial topologies (urban and interface). Results will contribute to improve the understanding of estuarine inundation processes and to develop adequate flood risk management guidelines.313-316ppDHA/NEC201424 a 26 de junh

    Daylighting in classrooms - the daylight factor as a perfomance criterion

    No full text
    Recent research has shown that environmental conditions in classrooms, and namely daylighting conditions, can influence students health, well-being and performance. In the last years several studies, dealing with the effects of environmental conditions in classrooms in the learning process, have been published (Winterbottom, & Wilkins, 2009; Barret, Zhang, Moffat, & Kobbacy, 2013). The daylight factor (DF) is the most used parameter in the characterization and quantification of daylight in buildings. The DF at a point of a plane inside a room is defined as the ratio (expressed as a percentage) between the daylight illuminance at that point in the interior of the room and the simultaneous exterior horizontal global illuminance due to a hemisphere of a sky of known or assumed luminance distribution (usually, a CIE overcast sky luminance distribution is considered). The DF reflects the effectiveness of daylight penetration in a particular room or space. The exterior daylight conditions may vary, but the DF remains constant, since the interior illuminances change proportionally to the simultaneous changes in the exterior daylight conditions (Santos, 2006).112pDED/NAICI201424 a 26 de setembr

    Study on the weighting of building acoustics descriptors and their influence on the quality of acoustic comfort for the occupants

    No full text
    It was recently created in Portugal a methodology for residential building acoustics classification. This methodology takes into account three levels of evaluation, being one of them, the dwelling. To evaluate the dwelling are considered eight descriptors which are weighted by specific coefficients in order to establish a differential influence of each descriptor in the dwelling’s final evaluation score. This paper focus on a detailed analysis on the reliability of these weighting coefficients as values that are supposed to reflect the population complains related to the various types of sounds (neighboring; external; equipment) they are exposed to, and so that on which descriptors have more or less influence in the acoustic comfort provided by the dwelling. The magnitude of these coefficients was studied and obtained through a social survey, conducted using a fill tool on-line. Based on the obtained results, it was possible to define a set of adequate values for these coefficients, and thus compare them with the ones established on the acoustic evaluation scheme for residential buildings existing in Portugal.7ppSeminário / Forum AcusticumDED/NAIC

    Contribution of complex pier components on local scour depth

    No full text
    An experimental campaign of 8 long-duration tests on scouring at complex piers was carried out under steady clear-water flow conditions. The aim was to evaluate the contribution of complex pier components on the total local scour depth. Data was also used to describe the temporal evolution of scour. A new approach to evaluate the maximum scour depth associated with a subtraction concept is suggested which considers the different sets of complex piers components. Two predictors (FDOT and HEC-18), based on a scour depth superposition concept are discussed, concluding that FDOT leads to similar results as the measured values, while HEC-18 leads to underestimation of the total scour depth.ISBN 978-989-96479-2-3DHA/NRE201414 a 16 de abri

    Algumas reflexões gerais sobre a adaptabilidade doméstica

    O desejo de possuir uma habitação que possa ir evoluindo consoante as necessidades, os desejos e os recursos familiares, tanto no interior como no exterior privado leva à opção por uma moradia, ou por um piso térreo espaçoso e com quintal privado; mas, sempre, segundo projetos-tipo, de modo a que se garanta a qualidade local da imagem urbana e paisagística.2 fig6 pInfohabitar, Ano X, n.º 484DED/NUTRevista Infohabita

    Inovação e tradição na conservação do património com base em cal

    O que diferencia o conhecimento científico do tradicional? Não é o facto deste último ser imutável, porque transmitido pelas gerações, não recorrer a procedimentos investigativos, não inovar, nem aprofundar informação. Inovação, mudança, procedimentos lógicos e investigativos definem ambos os tipos de conhecimento e tratam mais das suas semelhanças do que das diferenças.15-19pp.Artigo elaborado no âmbito do Projeto do LNEC "PRESERVe - Preservação de revestimentos do património construído com valor cultural: identificaçã ode riscos, contributo do saber tradicional e novos materiais para a conservação e proteção".
