We leave a special thanks to the members of the Organizing Committee and to
all who in any way participated in the implementation of ICEUBI2015 for the
commitment and professionalism shown in all organizational tasks.
Editors, reviewers, authors and supporting elements made considerable effort
to produce abstracts and proceedings with no errors or significant omissions.
However, such a volume mean communications with over than 2200 pages is
possible that have not been completely detected some errors. In this regard,
we regret any inaccuracy in advance and we apologize for any error or
inaccuracy that has not been possible to detect in time.
We hope that this initiative will be useful for those who have chosen to
participate, contribute to the discussion, systematization and the advancement

¬THE CITY
Covilhã is a welcoming city in the center of Portugal, combining an ancient history with a social dynamism, full of contemporaneity and future. It´s in this sense that this dynamic and academic town, owner of a strong economic and social life, cultural and sports vitality, offers to its visitors a wide range of social cultural and sports equipment, hotel service, health infra structure, in addition to the prestigious and acknowledged human and environmental surrounding.
Located at the base of Serra da Estrela, this county borders are the neighbor municipalities Penamacor, Belmonte, Manteigas, Seia, Oliveira do Hospital e Fundão. Geographically, Covilhã extends along the Serra da Estrela slopes and in green adjacent valleys of Cova da Beira, surrounded by the Zêzere River and its confluents. It’s centered location, gives it a prominent position in the development axis, marked by the three major cities of the region: Guarda – Covilhã – Castelo Branco.
In a cultural landscape dominated by Serra da Estrela, the natives of Covilhã cultivate the art of hospitality, where sympathy, quality and excellence, it’s a given.
In this stunning city with mild climate, calm, quiet and safe, located at 700 meters, with a 550 thousand hectares area and an estimated population of about 50 thousand people, there are recognized hotels and restaurants responding with excellence to any request; gastronomic sins based on rare ingredients like wild parsnip, shrub, juniper, mountain cheese or edible mushroom; museums that highlight disparate arts like religious art, wool or cheese; beyond the health tourism with a special reference to Unhais da Serra Spa.Also modernity reduced barriers and created needs, but not annihilated traditions and characteristics that make the soul of this region. All this implies the creation of symbolic ties of identification that generate confidence, taste and sense of belonging.

¬ UNIVERSITY OF BEIRA INTERIOR
The first steps towards what is now the University of Beira Interior were given in the 70’s, when the Polytechnic Institute of Covilhã first opened, in 1973. The city, once regarded as the “Portuguese Manchester “, for its long tradition of the wool industry and the dynamics and quality of its textile production, had been affected during this decade, by a crisis at the industry level: large and small factories begin to reveal serious weaknesses that led to its closure, with disastrous social and economic consequences for the region.
It was against this backdrop and within the activities of the working group for the Regional Planning of Cova da Beira, which the idea of creating a higher education institution in the region appeared, in order to give its population the chance to continue their studies without migrating to other parts of the country, most often permanently. Thus, following the publication of Decree-Law No. 402/73 of 11 August under the so-called ‘Veiga Simão Reformation’, which led to the expansion and diversification of higher education, it was created the Polytechnic Institute of Covilhã (IPC), which received its first 143 students in 1975, enrolled in its two first programs of Textile Engineering and Management and Accounting. In July 1979, six years later, the institution becomes the University Institute of Beira Interior, through the publication of Law No. 44/79 of 11 September, which makes it effective.
The conversion of the University Institute in University of Beira Interior happened in 1986, through the publication of Decree-Law 76-B/86, 30 April. The first Rector of the Institution was Professor Dr. Cândido Manuel Passos Morgado, who remained in office between August 21st 1980 and January 19th 1996, when Prof. Dr. Manuel Santos Silva assumed his duties as Rector, remaining in office until June 19th 2009. Now, sworn in as the fourth Rector of the institution, Professor Dr. António Carreto Fidalgo.
Historical note
One of the most interesting physical characteristics of UBI is recovering ancient buildings of high historical, cultural and architectural value. Besides maintaining the city’s landmarks, these are revitalized in spaces which are now devoted to teaching and research. The building of the Polytechnic Institute had also begun by restoring the old premises of the headquarters of the Battalion of Hunters 2, installed in the Marquis de Pombal established Royal Textile Factory, of an important architectural value, located in one of the traditional centres of industrial concentration in Covilhã, along the Ribeira da Degoldra. During the works of redevelopment in 1975, it has been discovered buried archaeological structures belonging to the Royal Textile Factory dyeing facilities, a leading manufacturer of woolen goods, built in the eighteenth century by the Marquis of Pombal.
25
After two campaigns of archaeological intervention and a full investigation, it was created the University of Beira Interior Wool Museum, opened in 1996. Thus, the old factory buildings located in the south entrance of Covilhã became, quite naturally, not only a logical solution and of continuity with regard to the physical expansion of the institution, but an option that resulted in an enormous benefit to the city in terms of urban planning and environmental impact, through the recovery of abandoned buildings or in ruins, which constitute a significant part of the industrial heritage of Covilhã, making the institution a unique case in the Portuguese University.
Among the most iconic properties, you will fi nd the Convent of Santo António, in Campus II, where the Rectory is located; the former palace of family Melo e Castro; the buildings of the Rato Factory; the Carpets Factory; the Factory of Moço; the Paulo Oliveira Factory; the Wool Manufacturing Company; and the Chapel of São Martinho, a Romanesque monument of the late twelfth century, classifed as of public interest that supports the religious service of UBI. It was also acquired the former house of the family Mendes Veiga, which today houses the Central Library of the University, after having completed the restoring project. In Campus I, the urban redevelopment culminated in the completion of the program Polis, an interesting leisure park that serves as a natural extension to the campus and that includes the project of the historic Ribeira da Degoldra. In the 1990s, it was decided to expand the University for the Northern End of town, near Ribeira da Carpinteira, where it was created Campus IV. UBI continues to grow. In 2004, the construction of the Faculty of Health Sciences began at Campus III, which was inaugurated the 30th April 2007 meeting thus the setup of the infrastructure of the medical school. With a physical space that already reaches 134,500 m2, the University welcomes nearly 7,000 students today.
Old factories converted in educational facilities
The university, in terms of education, is divided into faculties, which embrace the areas of knowledge which, by nature, belong to each one of them. So UBI comprises five faculties: Faculty of Science, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Faculty of Arts and Letters and Faculty of Health Sciences. You will find below a brief description of the engineering faculty, stating the main programs they offer. The structure of the programs at the University follow a three (years of graduation), two (years of Masters) and three (years of doctorate) scheme, with some exceptions of five years of graduation, including an integrated Masters. UBI has been recognized for excellence in implementing the diploma supplement with the award of the DS Label by the European Commission.

Abstract
The air transport has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade. The way we travel today is quite different from how we did ten years ago. Due to the emergence of low cost carriers, the market of air transportation have been constantly changing and presently witnessing the transformation of legacy carriers in order to manage to continue operating. The main purpose of this work is to show the differences in efficiency for different performance areas on a case study comprised of six different airline carriers, Legacy and low costs, using a Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDA) tool - Measuring Attractiveness by a Category Based Evaluation Technique (MACBETH). With the results obtained in this study, is wanted to show the work that is being carried out to obtain a model that would measure the efficiency of one or various airline companies in a defined period of time, using a set of performance indicators, to which specialists in the area previously have given weights.

Abstract
The growth of the low-cost carriers (LCC's) change how airports are manage and their performance. This study focus on the literature review of the low-cost carriers growth, airport performance, multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and future work. In this study we model the airport key performance areas and key performance indicators in a multi-criteria decision analysis model called MACBETH that allow the evaluation of options in a multiple criteria scenery and described every step to model the airport performance in Macbeth software. A case study was conducted in order to analyse the impact that low-cost carriers had in an airport performance on service quality during a period of six year. Future work will consist in presenting a more complete modelling of the impacts taking into account not only the Operational, Economical and Environmental key performance areas of the airports, but also the Hinterland and the impacts in the regional economy. The final objective is to apply this modelling to one or two airports where the rapid growth of low-cost carriers can be easily seen during the last 10 years.

Abstract
Globalisation and the consequent internationalization of companies is a growing trend. Therefore greater speed and flexibility are required from companies. As the Americans say "time is money" and the truth is that with the increase of competition, the time factor has become highly important not only in business world but also in the whole society. Currently, the fastest, more flexible and more practical mode of transport is undoubtedly the Business Aviation. Business Aviation is a market with great potential and a promising future. Unfortunately, Business Aviation is not accessible to all, the high costs of air transport do not allow that many companies and individuals make use of it. In this paper we start to introduce the concept and the history of business aviation, describing what it is, what use has, where and when was born and how it has evolved. It is also analyzed the worldwide distribution of this market, identified the major world markets and projections for its future and the main benefits and values of using this mode of transport. It is made a comparison between the Executive Aviation and its direct competitors: the airline business travel (ABT), ground transportation and the remote communication tools (Internet based) and also a description of the business models used by business aviation companies that provide this mode of transport. In the conclusion of this paper, it is presented a solution to solve the problem of the high costs for a specific market constituted by a set of countries: Portugal, Spain and France. This solution consists of creating an air transport network, constituted with small jets that made the connection between airports and airfields in the Iberian Peninsula and France. With this, it would be possible to connect through air various cities of the three countries.

Abstract
The right to accessibility should assist all citizens. Transportation systems, specially air transport, present some obstacles to passengers with reduced mobility, although there is legislation requiring the adaptation of airport infrastructures and aircraft for the safe and comfortable transportation of these passengers. A demographic analysis focusing on the average life expectancy in Europe allowed to establish that due to the increase of the world population and to the aging process, the percentage of people with reduced mobility is expected to increase significantly, becoming a target-population that demands the investment in the air transport accessibility. Although there already are some changes in services and airport facilities, this tendency should be expanded to all the airports. The present study aimed to explore the service needs of passengers with disabilities and identify factors that inhibit them to travel in this type of transport. Therefore, an analysis of various documents regarding these passengers' experience within the airport was developed to identify the main obstacles that compromise their rights. It was found that the terminals and their points of boarding and deplaning of aircraft are the major obstacles in the land-air interface, as well as the accesses at the airport entrance and to taxis area.

Abstract
Airport emergency cases are becoming more common; therefore, it becomes extremely important to have good emergency and evacuation protocols that are easily and quickly applied so the number of the affected is minimized. The simulation of these emergencies is important to implement evacuation plans and evaluate them. Evacuation and containment plans are often idealized to passengers that in case of emergency are self-sufficient, able to physically attend themselves in their evacuation from the airport, not being optimized for passengers with reduced mobility that require assistance from others, and thus more time for evacuation. This study aims to understand and identify key issues with regard to how passengers with reduced mobility are considered in current evacuation plans and how in practice these are actually applied and also understand which possible solutions exist to solve the major flaws of these protocols. For that, we performed an analysis related to the airport emergency protocols and regulations that are currently applied at European level, where we found that in fact there are large gaps in relation to what is defined in international law is that which is applied in practice. One of the major flaws in the implementation of these protocols are the set times for evacuations that do not contemplate at all situations of reduced mobility that are dependent on outside help. Airports infrastructure also present some obstacles in emergency situations, particularly in the case of energy failure where there is no alternative transport for people in wheelchairs, because most emergency accesses only present stairs as an alternative to elevators or the escalators.

Abstract
In times of increasing turmoil and uncertainty, airport managers face unprecedented difficulties to increment performance. Traditional airport development approaches, based on long-term stable master plans, are any longer adequate as forecasts cannot be trusted. Flexible airport development is proposed as a suitable alternative. We define flexibility as the ability to have an infrastructure as changeable as possible to adapt to future needs with minimal investment and able to, at least, keep its performance results. We argue that flexibility increases the resilience of airport to external pressures. Therefore, flexible airports can remain efficient under a wider range of demand or other external conditions. The downside is that flexible options are by principle more costly. Literature on airport flexibility is scarce and relatively recent. A consensus upon a definition is still to be reached. Also, no methodology for supporting the choice of flexible options has been found. This manuscript contributes to overcome this limitation by presenting a new general methodological framework. The framework includes a total of ten steps organised in three different phases: 1) choice of the fundamental decision variables, 2) identification of the main sources of uncertainty and scenario analysis, and 3) evaluation of the flexible options proposed for each scenario.

Abstract
Objective: The primary objective of the paper is to examine the attitudes of medical staff towards patients' health and life in the contemporary health care system. Furthermore, the paper aims at evaluating the moral condition of medical staff and values upheld by them, as well as to present their approach to the problems of abortion and euthanasia.- Materials and methods: The research was carried out in the years 2011-2012 and covered 196 respondents in total. The examined medical staff included: paramedics (51), nurses (49), physical therapists (49) and medical assistants (47). Results: Each human holds certain values in life. Their development and evaluation are influenced primarily by attitudes shaped by family and school in the earliest age. Among medical staff, the most appreciated value is health (19.5%), followed by love (16.5%) and family (14.1%). Life (11.1%) and safety (8.6%) were selected less frequently. In the set of other values (0.1%) a respondent mentioned honesty as the most precious value. Worth of life was the most appreciated by paramedics and the least by physical therapists (1.8%).

Abstract
In the article the problem of the public medical center in Polish district town was considered. The aim of the paper was to present the financial situation of the medical center. In order to assess the possibility of creating self-financing ambulatory care facilities the cash flow model was prepared. Three scenarios of revenues and costs were assumed: most probable, pessimistic and optimistic. During the study deterministic and stochastic calculations were carried out. Three was large spread between deterministic scenarios. Deterministic calculations did not allow to make decision about ambulatory care facilities restructuring therefore stochastic calculations using Monte Carlo simulation were performed. The sensitivity analysis was also prepared. Although the most probable deterministic scenario was not promising, based on the stochastic analysis the decision about ambulatory care facilities privatization was taken. Unfortunately the business plan and deterministic and stochastic calculations did not come true. The medical center is subsidized until now.

Abstract
The aim of the study is to estimate the impact of household characteristics (especially of the variable: "education of household head") on health expenditure and assess the level and structure of health expenditure in Polish households depending on the education level of the household head. The aim is also find out the statistically significant differences in health expenditure between the households headed by people with different levels of education. The research material consists of individual data from the household budget survey of 2012 which is conducted annually by the Central Statistical Office of Poland. Analysis of the expenditure on basic goods and services showed that such expenses depend on the level of education of household head. Education level of the household head is one of the strongest determinants of health expenditures. The other important determinants of such expenditure are: age of household head and disposable income per capita. Scheffe's test revealed statistically significant differences in various types of health expenditure, between the household groups distinguished by the level of education of household head.

Expenditure on health care in Poland - The legal
perspective
Jolanta Pacian - [email protected]
Department of Public Health, Medical University of Lublin, Poland
Abstract
The health care system in Poland is financed both from public and non-public sources. The legal basis for financing the Polish health protection system is the Act of 27.08.2004 on health care benefits financed from public funds. The major part of the health care system funding comes from health insurance contributions. Currently in Poland, the contribution rate accounts for 9% of the contribution assessment basis. Summing up, the Polish legislator should focus on thorough reassessment of expenses on health care in the context of binding legal regulations. Legitimacy and necessity of particular expenses should be reconsidered in order to grasp the principles of an effective health care policy in the aspect of the health care system financing. There is a need to adopt systemic solutions which should improve the financial condition of health care. Without them, the reform can turn out to be unproductive and inefficient. In the first place, the need to introduce additional health insurance should be considered, especially in view of the ageing process of the Polish society and a threat to continuous and steady health care financing.

Abstract
Noise is the one of the environmental pollution. Its harmful effects on the reci-pient is often overlooked, because the effects of exposure is not immediate. Mea-surements of noise are usually performed in urban areas, especially in the environ-ment of roads, providing a basis for measures to limit their impact on the environ-ment, and often in the measurement there are ignored areas for recreation. Based on the research of acoustic climate of the park, defined only in relation to road noise and rail traffic, can't fully reflect their acoustic conditions. If there are other sources of noise have to be made also their impact. Usually don't determine the relationship between the results of measurements of noise equivalent sound level and the individual feelings of the people living in these areas. This paper addresses the issue of noise pollution assessment in spa park and presents the analysis of differences between the actual results of the measurement of equivalent sound level and the feelings of people visiting the spa park. The analysis was performed with the use of fuzzy set theory It has been proved that the evaluation of the acoustic climate applying in the spa park should be determined on the basis of sound level measurements and surveys.

Abstract
Noise measurements are usually carried out in developed areas as well as in the surroundings of traffic routes providing basis for actions in order to limit its influence on the neighboring areas. Noise measurements in park areas are rare due to belief that these areas are silent zones. Such attitude cannot be justified. This article aims at assessment of noise appearing in determined sub-zones of the spa park in Inowrocław. From the research carried out it can be noticed that traffic noise does not have any important meaning as for acoustic climate of the park. It is the people who stay there that generate more noise. Comparative analysis proves the appearance and penetration of noise from the zones with greater level of noise to the ones with its lower amount.

Abstract
The highway networks should guarantee a service quality consistent with the fast movement of vehicles, people and goods, in a safe and comfortable way. To evaluate the service quality provided by this type of road infrastructure the Transportation Research Board methodology is usually used. The latest version of this methodology (5th version), which evaluates the road service quality analyzing the traffic conditions provided to road users (considering safety, maneuverability and the traffic speed), is the "Highway Capacity Manual 2010 "(HCM 2010). This methodology was designed having in mind the American road system, however, it has been adopted worldwide, including European Union countries as Portugal. The application of this methodology to the specific characteristics of Portuguese road network and traffic conditions is still a challenge which must be properly studied. Therefore, this paper presents a description of the methodology for the different components of a multilane highways and an application to a Portuguese case study. It was concluded that, although there are some operational differences between the road systems, the methodology HCM 2010 can be applied in Portugal.

Abstract
Considering that the road environment is one of the factors that contribute to road accidents and that conservation actions are needed to assure certain quality and service level standards, this paper aims to verify the forms of recording the road accidents data in work zones and diagnose the main accident causes associated with these places. These zones are considered sensitive points in terms of accidents due to temporary changes in the traffic and alterations to the safety conditions of the transit, namely, in the velocity practiced and in the existence of obstacles and workers near the lanes, which require special care by the drivers, influencing their behavior. To achieve these goals, an analysis was conducted which includes a comparison of the Portuguese statistic bulletin of road accidents with other bulletins from Europe and the United States, as well as an analysis of the data regarding the accidents which occurred in Portuguese roads work zones for the period between 2010 and 2012.

Abstract
The saturation of passenger transport systems for medium and long distances between cities in Brazil is clear. There is an overload on the air and road transport systems, especially in large metropolitan areas. The current work has the objective of promoting and contextualizing reflections on the implementation of the High Speed Rail system along the Rio - Sao Paulo - Campinas axis and the possible impact on the regional urban development. There are many advantages of HSR system in relation to environmental issues, safety and punctuality. There are uncertainties that point to caution, but at the same time, the need for new alternatives for passenger transport which the HSR system makes possible brings an opportunity to improve the problem of transport saturation between those cities, with the possibility of promoting regional development along the route, based on the analysis of the implementations and operation historic in other cities of the world.

Abstract
Road runoff has heavy metals that can produce significant negative environmental impacts if discharged into the environmental. A monitoring was carried out in a detention basin located close the motorway A23 (Covilha, Portugal) for a year, involving flow measurement and water sampling during rainfalls for analysis of heavy metals (Cr, Cu and Zn). Eight precipitation events with different intensities and durations were studied. The detention basin showed good ability for removing Cr, Cu and Zn for precipitation intensity between 15 and 103 mm and rainfall duration up to 3 hours. In four precipitations, with intensities greater than 29.4 mm and durations over 6 hours, the basin had no enough capacity for retaining all the incoming volume. Therefore, part of the entering volume was discharged into the receiving water stream. However, the metal effluent concentrations were lower than the discharge limits allowed by European legislation. This work demonstrates the importance of including such studies in Plans of Environmental Monitoring of roads, not only for accessing the effectiveness of treatment facilities and possible environmental impacts produced by the discharge of effluents into the environment, but also for allowing a good characterization of the road runoff.

Abstract
New product development (NPD) is crucial for the existence of firms, as a source of competitive advantage and a determinant factor of business success. Several factors, both operational and corporate or even strategic, contribute to the process of innovation that supports the NPD. The holistic assessment of all these factors, taken together, has not been subject of research leading to the proposal of an integrated and systemic framework. Thus, this paper aims to propose a comprehensive framework, which integrates the strategic, organizational and procedural levels, as well as the set of factors to take into account in NPD projects problems to be solved with innovative solutions. Based on literature review, a comprehensive and integrated conceptual framework is obtained through a deductive-inductive pathway. The framework was referred as “Systemic and Integrated Framework of NPD” - SIFNPD.

Abstract
Innovation and creativity are fundamental for new product development (NPD). NPD processes are a key factor for the survival of firms, in a market that nowadays is very competitive, instable and aggressive. Thus, life cycle of products it is becoming shorter, and that also due to the markets globalization. So, the development of models that can support NPD processes became a real and needed challenge. This paper aims to propose a comprehensive model of functional nature, which integrates the strategic, organizational and procedural levels, as well as the set of factors to take into account in NPD projects. Based on literature review, a comprehensive and integrated conceptual model is obtained through a deductive-inductive pathway. The conceptual model is validated in the industrial environment through four explanatory case studies, regarding the implementation of new products and services, both incremental and disruptive. After validation the conceptual framework becomes functional. And it was referred as “Systemic and Integrated Model of NPD” - SIMNPD. As a result, it is a tool to measure and evaluate processes, projects and products, dedicated to companies that innovate, design and develop new products.

Abstract
Nowadays it is necessary to produce innovative and reliable products at the lowest possible cost. Simulation is present during design, development and validation of aeronautical vehicles or systems. It is widely used, seen on design tools like Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application (CATIA), MATrix LABoraty (MATLAB) or in Flight Simulation. X-Plane, Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS)/Lockheed Martin Prepar3D® and Flight Gear are the most used software when it comes to simulation of aeronautical systems in a virtual World. They are based on two different flight dynamics methods, the Newtonian and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), each one with different capabilities. In the beginning of Aviation, airships were used to transport passengers but today the researchers are developing further studies regarding its flight capabilities. The goal of this article is survey the tools and methods to simulation a system and research the best platform to simulation a Rigid Hybrid Airship.

Abstract
In the versatile aviation environment, the pilot's well-being is a crucial and demanding factor which is directly related to his good performance. Due to the unpressurized and unacclimatized aircraft cabin, light-sport aircraft pilots are exposed to many different environmental conditions. Actually, a brief research on this matter suggests that a significant part of the incidents and accidents are related to the human factors. In order to evaluate factors as oxygen saturation, heart rate and stress level, and how they may influence or even compromise the pilot's performance, experimental tests were realized in different scenarios with different pilots. In this study was possible to observe each individual variation of oxygen and heart rate for different stressful situations, at different altitudes and environments as hypobaric chamber, flight simulator and real flight scenarios. During the tests was possible to observe that, for the same altitude but in different situations, the same pilot had different hypoxia and heart rate levels; this may suggest that the stress level can compromise the pilot's psychophysiological response and, consequently, his performance.

Abstract
Abstract Most of the Hub and Gateways are facing congestion problems due to the gap between capacity and airfreight demand which has substantially grown over the last 20 years, driving the need of a new strategy and approach to maximizing profit for airlines companies. Airport performance could be measured by different parameters, as flight delay, capacity, aircraft movement, and runway occupancy time, such parameters could be used to quantify and determine the level of the hub performance. Some statistics indicate that billions of Euros could be saved by the airlines companies if the airports capacity managed efficiently. Air freight growth in general has led to runway capacity constraints in the air transportation network. To increase capacity of HUB runways, airlines should reduce inter-arrival separations between flights. This research evaluates two major elements influencing runway capacity; runway occupancy and aircraft category which could be a constraint to the Hub and gateways capacity.

Abstract
With the regulatory reforms in the public sector services, most enterprises have been choosing markets which have become open due to the partial or complete removal of all interdictions to its access. However, with the opening of markets, the ones that are not profitable tend to lose the provision of services. As a consequence, governments include in the regulatory reforms programs to ensure that the consumers continue to have access to public utility services. All over the world, airlines face more and more difficulties to create sustainable profit margins, so it is inevitable that, in remote regions, where air transport is frequently essential to the socio-economic endurance of the region, the air transport may be supported by public funds. In Europe, air transport in remote regions is regulated by Public Service Obligations (PSO). The reason for its existence is to guarantee that certain air transport services are maintained in remote regions, with the intention of promoting its economic development and guarantee an adequate accessibility to its inhabitants and insert the peripheral communities. They are used when an adequate provision of air transport services in term of frequency, capacities and prices is not possible if the carriers only have their commercial interests in mind. The U.S. counterpart is the Essential Air Service (EAS) program. The number of PSO in air transport in Europe has risen since its first implementation. In 1997, there were 64 PSO routes, 47 of them in France. By September 2001, the number had risen to 162 and, nowadays, it has reached 269. All OSP routes require that the operators respect a certain level of service if they want to operate the route. Most of the OSP force the airlines to provide a minimum frequency of flights, to offer a minimum capacity over a certain amount of time and may restrict the routes to certain aircraft types depending on its size or propulsion type

Abstract
Over time, airports have been promoters of urban development. Alongside this evolution, new concepts of airport-centered developments have emerged. These models of airports are based not only on the basic services of an airport, but also on facilities, services and non-aeronautical revenue streams. The airport-city concept can be considered as dependent of four essential macro-factors, being one of them the connectivity. There are several studies which create connectivity assessment tools. In this dissertation we adapted a methodology previously tested. Thus, the quality of the existing connections of a sample of 32 airports is evaluated, in terms of centrality for each airport, which allows drawing some conclusions regarding the present level of connectivity. The particular case study refers to Lisbon Airport, in a perspective of comparison with other airports already considered Airport-City. Lisbon Airport showed good connectivity; nevertheless some aspects may be improved, such as the increase of the volume of passengers or the number of flights, in order to increase the number of connections and destinations as well as the possibility of improving the temporal concentration or structure wave system.

Abstract
The aim of the study is to assess the level of health expenditure in the low-income and high-income households and to indicate the the hierarchy of factors determining such expenses. Research material consists of unpublished individual data from the household budget survey for 2012. Canonical correlation analysis was used to study the determinants of health spending. The conducted analysis showed that the low-income households spend much less money on health care, and their health expenditure absorb a smaller part of household budgets. The factors that influence the spending on outpatient services and non-conventional medicine depend on the household income. The most important factors in the case of low-income households are: higher education of the household head and the location of the household in the largest cities, while in the case of high -income households: income per capita.

Abstract
Quality is a multidimensional concept that combines the interaction of various factors. Although it is possible to objectively measure some aspects which reflect the quality of health, this is not easily expressed by simple quantitative measure, since not always the most readily measurable criteria are the best or most appropriate. As part of metrology (science responsible for the study of measurements) each time you perform the measurement of a quantity inevitably arises the concern to know the relationship between the obtained value and the actual value of this magnitude. Since there are several factors that result in occurrence of errors Metering, it becomes necessary to identify and classify these factors, in order to be able to reduce and where possible eliminate. This fact comes the importance and impact of these non-compliances metrological in medical decisions. Moreover, the occurrence of adverse events become extremely important to the development of legislation, the allocation of legal responsibilities, creating comparative methodologies and tracking control.

Abstract
Fluoridation is a suitable tool for controlling public health action for reducing tooth decay. The early initiatives were made in water supply, because it is a universal and accessible resource. In Brazil, water fluoridation is a common technic and is the core of many scientific investigations. However, water fluoridation has some health risk, such the development of dental fluorosis, also called mottling of tooth enamel fluorosis disease. For this reason, the main goal of this paper is to evaluate the heterocontrol of fluoride ion in water supplied to four cities located on center-west of Brazil, with a total population above 1.5 million people. The samples were collected and analyzed during 2011 - 2013 and were sampled at 616 points, which were selected according to Brazilian Normative. The results allow concluding that is necessary a strong control of the fluoride ion in the drinking water in all cities. There were found many water samples with fluoride ion concentration below the minimum threshold necessary for fluoridation, which can affect the effective reducing in tooth decay. There was no observation of fluoride ion concentration above the maximum threshold allowed by law.

Passenger Intermodal Stations: new transport
areas in the European cities Katarzyna Foljanty - [email protected]
Warsaw University of Technology
Abstract
In the second half of the 20th century social problems caused by years of neglect of railway stations spread into adjacent areas - an unfavorable image became a psychological barrier for potential rail users. Since the late 1980s the image of railways and the railway station is changing, it is becoming an attractive place in the city. The central location of many railway stations makes it the ideal place for new transport hubs connected with other urban activities related to business and culture. The new intermodal stations and the modernized historic ones, corresponding to contemporary requirements are showpieces of railway companies and cities. A well-functioning station actively affects the attractiveness of the surrounding area and even the development of new urban quarters. A transformation of historic railway stations into intermodal ones is an opportunity to reorganize the neighboring areas and to create public spaces or green areas.

Abstract
Most of the rehabilitations of river sections with their banks in cities has often been inappropriate. The reason for this is that designers do not understand the natural functioning of a river and they are synthesizing and sterilizing these urban spaces, distorting its natural functioning. Besides, there are clear proofs, that these rehabilitations are useless, contributing to the devaluation of the river ecosystem without improving its relationships with the city. The other result of the water lines destructions are the educational terms, broadcasting a wrong idea of the functioning of the river. This article tries to show briefly, how a river works, what is the natural characteristics that should be valued by a rehabilitation and what has gone wrong in recent rehabilitation works. Using the theoretical drawings, based on examples from real life, and supported by photographs, the authors present also the possible negative consequences of the urban mistakes for the operation and safety of cities. The article also searches for answers to show some techniques of natural engineering, using natural materials and vegetation that may be employed. This in addition may become a green intervention, making these techniques much more economic and educational also thinking about public access to attractive parks and squares by the rivers and improvement of human life quality.

Temporary public spaces - Functional innovations Natalia Przesmycka - [email protected]
Lublin University of Technology, Lublin, Poland
Abstract
The innovative approach in designing public spaces manifests itself not only in the use of modern construction technologies and materials but also in new, different attitudes towards the ways in which these sitesare used. The practice of creating temporary layouts in public spaces or creating new ephemeral spaces of this type is becoming more and more widespread, being introduced mostly in big cities. To some extent, this phenomenon has stayed outside the main current in contemporary urban planning research, nevertheless, it constitutes one of the principal elements of urban planning policies. Temporary land use solutions in public spaces may originate from various backgrounds: lack of funds for the desired target arrangement, desire to experiment with adapting the sitein question to a given function, and (not always lawful) grassroots actions sparked by the current needs of the local inhabitants or users of these spaces. Some public spaces, having been developed to serve a temporary purpose, continue to perform that function, and retain their temporary form for a longer period of time, while in others, the introduced structures are removed or simply wear out.

Abstract
The subject of inquiry are two examples of wild new public spaces as a part of the process of evolution of neglected urban and suburban areas. These sites are revitalized from the former productive kind of use. The analysis are supported with the scientific theory and practical cases. The first one is placed in Berlin, Germany, in the district with former mixed industrial use: Rummelsburger Bucht, with nature, public space, housing areas, and services nowadays (Time analysis 2006-2015). The second one exists in the boarder area between two towns of Bytom and Tarnowskie Góry, Upper Silesia in Poland, in the former quarries, called „Dolomity” recovered since 2000 and presently (2015) used for recreation and wild nature. The thesis of the paper states, that the functional diversity, including wild nature with original spontaneous fauna and flora, as well as the location of the space is the mean for the successful wild public spaces, which shall also be the final resulting statement. The method of the paper is reporting about in situ researches (case study in Berlin) as well as practical design process (case study in Bytom). Additionally, the authors use books and other theoretical materials, in order to present the actual state of knowledge. The conclusions are mentioning some of advantages of wild areas from the professional point of view but also of the walk as the natural movement of human in (wild) public open spaces from the pedestrians'/users' point of view.

Abstract
In a local authority, the management of spatial planning policy is strongly supported by the knowledge of civil engineering. Increasingly, the Municipal Councils are committed to improving the services they provide by setting guidelines for sustainable development, focused on building more and more attractive places for people and organizations, where quality of life is a priority. This research aims to demonstrate some examples of how GIS software contributes for the assessment and intervention of appropriate decisions. The Montemor-o-Novo municipality was chosen as a case study due to the absence of any organizational structure of geographic data in the Municipality of Montemor-o-Novo. The fact that it is a city of small dimensions, does not discard the need to develop a Municipal Management tool that can provide a high intervention capacity to improve various sectors of the region. So three examples of analysis are presented: finding the best route to public transport - bus, decision support due to the closure of a primary school and, at last, evaluation of heavy traffic detour that is currently going through the city center.

Public transportation: Analysis of the Covilhã
urban system evolution Jorge Humberto Gaspar Gonçalves - [email protected]

Abstract
Urban public transport services (UPT) present themselves as a key component of the urban transport systems. Their characteristics and capacity allow a reduction in traffic flows at peak hours and a social equity in terms of mobility and access opportunities for all inhabitants. UPT are the only system that allows large population densities and a high concentration and diversity of land uses. Although general context seems favorable to the development of this type of service its modal split evolution does not reflect these expectations. One of the key factors to enhance UPT modal split is the quality of its service or how citizens perceive it. Attending to this, a comparative analysis of UPT evolution was held in the city of Covilhã between 2003 and 2014, and given some gaps still encountered low cost improvements were proposed, particularly concerning its public information service, key element for an uncomplicated use of the system even by those using it only occasionally.

Abstract
Now a days, the city represents a variety of political, economic and social activities, which makes studying and learning how they work more essential, and specially how to make itmore efficient.There is an unbalanced demographic distribution in population that makes our cities and suburbs more congested and disorganized. This over population will create problems in the quality of life and safety of the residences, as well as economic levels for the countries and town halls.The goals of this article is to approach this theme in the urban mobility and public space rehabilitation, issuing satisfaction to the residences and visitors by providing public spaces for them.The study case is Rua Garret located in Chiado`s neighborhood, one of the most crowded economical and commercial centers of Lisbon. The aim of this research is to analyze several possible situations to restrict the street mentioned above to pedestrians only and also to study how these ideas are going to effect the rehabilitation of the public spaces. This research was based on several approaches of Portuguese and foreign cities, but the solution will always need to be adjusted according to the needs of the city of Lisbon.

Abstract
Some indicators were determined to measure road accidents in urban areas by using as case study the road network of Coimbra, from 2010 to 2012. This was carried out by using ArcGIS 10.0, which is a Geographic Information System (GIS), based on the database provided by the National Road Safety Authority (ANSR), complemented with information on accidents collected by the PSP (Police) of Coimbra. Sections with 4 or more accidents in at least one year were considered in the analysis. After geo-referencing the road accidents, the GIS enabled to see its distribution on the network as well as associate to each of them the accident scheme provided by PSP.The procedures involved in the analysis concern the Severity Index (IG) and the Local Hierarchical Value (VHL). Because it was found that VHL better represents the performance of sections regarding accidents in urban areas, this parameter was used to identify the sections and road junctions on which the network administration should focus its attention. Since three consecutive years of accident data are available and geo-referencing of accidents is possible, this methodology can be applied to road networks in urban areas.

Abstract
A pitot tube for the measurement of airspeed was designed and manufactured in a 3D printer employing the Fused Deposition Modelling technology. The 3D printed pitot tube was tested in a wind tunnel against a reference metal constructed pitot tube at airspeeds ranging from 2,1 to 31,5 m/s. It was found that the printed pitot tube, as coming directly from the 3D printer, underestimated the airspeed due to air leaks through its walls, a fact due to the Fused Deposition Modelling manufacturing process. Subsequent sealing of both the total and static pressure lines within the 3D printed pitot tube completely solved the problem, resulting in a fully functional airspeed measurement device, with the results of the 3D printed pitot tube overlapping those obtained by the standard metal constructed pitot tube.

Abstract
Presently, Vertical/Short Take-off and Landing technologies are deeply researched by the industry, in order to create a feasible Thrust Vectoring Flight Control system. One such technology is the HOMER nozzle, which uses the Coanda effect to further control the flow direction. Some authors use DBD actuators to increase the efficiency of the HOMER nozzle. A big problem that these authors face is the tangential flow made by the axial fans used to control the flow, which greaty decreases the effect of the Coanda surface. In this paper a CFD simulation will be performed on outlet fins used on the nozzle, in order to determine the effect of the DBD actuators and angle of the fin on the flow angle.

Abstract
Active flow control by DBD plasma actuators is a topic with great interest by worldwide scientific community. DBD plasma actuators are mainly used for boundary layer control in order to improve the aerodynamic performance of aerial vehicles. These simple devices consists of two electrodes separated by a dielectric barrier material. The actuator operates when is supplied by an AC high-voltage and high-frequency signal. When the amplitude of the applied voltage is large enough, an ionization of the air (plasma) occurs over the dielectric surface. These ionized particles, in the presence of the electric field gradient, produces a body force on the ambient air. Power consumption and power losses of DBD plasma actuators are important parameters to compare the performance of different actuator designs and for cost-benefit analysis of different systems.

Abstract
Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have been receiving an increasingly interest in the last decades, fostered by the need of vehicles able to perform surveillance, communications relay links, ship decoys, and detection of biological, chemical, or nuclear materials. Smaller and handy vehicles Micro Air vehicles (MAVs) become even more challenging when DARPA launched in 1997 a pilot study into the design of portable (150mm) flying vehicles to operate in D3- dull, dirty and dangerous - environments. More recently DARPA launched a Nano Air Vehicle (NAV) program with the objective of developing and demonstrating small (<100mm; <10g) lightweight air vehicles with the potential to perform indoor and outdoor missions. The current investigation is focused on the mechanisms involved with natural locomotion (propulsion and lift should not be considered independently). Biological systems with interesting applications to MAVs are generally inspired on flying insects or birds; however, similarly to the aerodynamics of flight, powered swimming requires animals to overcome drag by producing thrust. Commonalities between natural flying and swimming are analyzed together with flow control issues as a purpose of improvement on biology-inspired or biomimetic concepts for Micro Air Vehicles implementation.

Abstract
Many projects concerning morphing aircraft concepts where enhanced performance and increased energy efficiency are two of the main goals have been recently developed. Some of those concepts deal with wing span changes. In line with those, in a variable-span wing of the telescopic type, the cross-sections of the sliding panels, whether be two, three or more, must be made geometrically compatible among them. This requirement serves two purposes: to minimize the aerofoils geometric discontinuity which negatively affects wing drag and lift; and to provide a simple structural support between any two sliding panels. This paper describes the methodology employed to develop geometrically compatible aerofoils obtained from a constant geometric offset applied to a given initial aerofoil. This methodology is used to create inner offset aerofoils and outer offset aerofoils. The geometric and aerodynamic characteristics of the resulting offset aerofoils are compared with those of the original aerofoils. From the analysis of three different original aerofoils, strong trends on the geometric changes and on the aerodynamic characteristics of the resulting inner and outer offset aerofoils are observed. Ultimately, this study can help a telescopic wing designer decide whether an inner or an outer offset aerofoil is more appropriate for his/her design.

Abstract
This article is intended for the integration of risk management concepts and complex view as approaches to support decision making in retrofit projects. From the definitions of risk, complexity and retrofit, we seek a more focused analysis of the impacts and strategic exploration opportunities, rather than merely a probabilistic treatment or a search of the events probabilities. It also presents the chance characteristics through complex view: One cause may lead to different effects, and / or divergent; Different causes can produce similar effects; Small causes can lead to big effects; Great causes can lead to very small effects; Causes are followed by adverse effects; The effects of opposing causes are uncertain; which are not static, they can provide all types of effects. Ultimately resulting in the convergence of the three concepts, as well as warnings about over-simplification and their ailments.

Abstract
The buildings have an essential role in the construction of cities and constitute an important part of the built heritage of a nation. Many are reaching high ages, that exceed the lifetime of the project, or have early degradation due to lack of maintenance. Thus, demand repair or reconstruction works, which can cause very high costs, direct and indirect, and often puts at risk the safety of those who live in them and their surroundings. Optimize the service life of buildings depends on good management of buildings and consequently of scheduled maintenance interventions and improvement in order to meet during the longest period of time the expected functional requirements. This article aims to provide a maintenance plan based structure for multi-family buildings in the systematization of concepts and maintenance methodologies, valuing preventive measures rather than corrective measures. With the preparation of this paper aims to highlight the importance of a maintenance plan in multifamily buildings supporting the strategies and decision making to be made by those responsible in the management of heritage.

Abstract
This document gives an overview on building rehabilitation project characteristics and introduces challenges facing risk management due to its uncertainty. This article seeks to demonstrate the double challenge of building rehabilitation project risk management, considering the inherent uncertainty of projects. This double challenge occurs due to the fact that a rehabilitation project is a project performed based on another project by other author. The project uncertainty degree is directly influenced by quantity and quality information available at the moment the planning processes is developed. Building rehabilitation projects most of the times are exposed to uncertainties generated by missing partial or total knowledge of original project solutions adopted. An uncertainty scenario increases project risk fear. In this context, the risk management arises to increase project possibilities of success. To sum up, building rehabilitation projects should not have the same targets that a brand new project has. Having a formal Risk Management Plan of the original project is needed to achieve project success. Most projects have neither formal risk management nor formal project management at all, and that’s the main obstacle to overcome.

Abstract
The laws which govern regular building inspection, or laws of surveying, have shown the informality that usually characterizes the management of essentially technical activities by building administration. Such informality reflects a disregard toward the laws concerning the professional activities of engineers and architects. It can even result in tragedies with loss of human lives, either from interventions lacking the assistance of responsible professionals, or from an early degradation of the building systems that could be prevented. This situation often causes a waste of financial resources and a depreciation of the properties. It lacks a systemic perception of the building, in connection with the absence of laws capable to produce the professionalization of this model. This paper deals with the need for improvement of the laws of regular building inspection and for compulsory permanent technical responsibility in building management. It also aims at methodologies, criteria and formalities that would allow the production of technical contents and a record of the results achieved. This study was based on 36 cases of technical inspections of buildings in Rio de Janeiro and Niterói between 2013 and 2015, a sample that permits a diagnosis of this reality and a reflection about its solution.

Abstract
The Pombaline buildings of downtown Lisbon have suffered many adulterations across time with a greater impact in recent years due to an increase in tourist activity. After the great earthquake of 1755, this area has been rebuilt according to an innovative, enlightened urban plan. The buildings have been built in a short period of time using a standardisation and prefabrication system and also an innovative anti-seismic technique - the "Pombaline cage" - which was an unparalleled Portuguese contribution to construction technology and anti-seismic engineering. The recent conversion of historic buildings in hotels has led, in many cases, to total internal demolition while maintaining the façade in its original condition. This solution is not recommended in the case of historic centres because the maintenance of the internal structure and original materials of buildings is crucial to protect its authenticity. It may also undermine the performance of buildings throughout the quarter in the event of a major earthquake. There are also other situations in which the buildings undergo major changes that may impair their performance in case of earthquake. This paper describes the original structure of a Pombaline building. It also refers to the major alterations that these buildings have undergone and the implications on their overall performance in case of earthquake

Abstract
Inertial sensors are currently present in a large number of devices and applications that range from health and sports monitoring to navigation systems and aeronautical/aerospace engineering. These sensors, that have small form factor and low cost, present an advantage for computing object orientation in a three-dimensional space. Estimating velocity and position from inertial sensors presents a challenge due both intrinsic behavior and low accuracy data. The use of accelerometers, gyroscopes and/or magnetic compasses may therefore require the use of computational models to compensate for the poor accuracy obtained measurements. This work proposes a framework that is able to evaluate and validate inertial sensors computation algorithms on accelerometer measurements. A Yaskawa Motoman NX100 robotic arm has been used to implement a set of predefined movements that granted the mandatory test accuracy and repeatability conditions. Also a Bluetooth Low Energy device has been implemented to transfer the inertial sensor data to a PC computer running a Windows operating system. The inertial sensors have been implemented with a MPU-9150 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that includes an accelerometer, a gyroscope and a compass.

Abstract
In the last years, important studies have shown the critical effect of load representation in stability studies and, therefore, the need to find more accurate load models than those traditionally used. It is generally recognized that load representation is an important element in voltage stability studies since it affects power system dynamic performance. Given an electric power system topology, the behaviour of a system following a contingency, or the possibility of voltage collapse occurring, depends to a great extent on how the loads are represented. In this paper it is studied and analysed the effect of the composite load models in the dynamic voltage stability of an electric power network. A severe contingency situation was simulated. The automatic voltage regulators of the generating units, the turbine speed governors, and the under load tap changers models were taken into account. The simulation results were obtained using the EUROSTAG software package. Finally, some conclusions that provide a better understanding of the dynamic voltage stability are pointed out.

Abstract
In 2013, the network operator of electricity distribution, detected 20700 cases of electricity theft, substantially higher than when compared to the 14440 recorded in 2012. During this period it was possible to identify little more than five thousand customers each year. This situation resulted in an estimated loss of 43 million euros in 2013 and 12 million in 2012. In beginning of 2013, the network operator has created teams whose main function was to visit and inspect these installations and then make a detailed analysis, ensuring that all energy was being properly billed. With the evolution of the work performed in the field, they were detected difficulties and all the technicians observed that was not available in the market, an appropriate tool to analyze the facilities. In order to respond to this challenge, we developed the loss analyzer system electrical cables assisted by microcontroller (µCLA). The main features taken into account in the development tool were: Allow the measurement of voltage and current at two different points; Allow view the results of measurements of two points in one place; The electric current measure should be made non-invasively, thereby avoiding interruption in power supply to consumers; Respond to the need to store information for future use.

Abstract
Trampoline jumping is an Olympic sport since the 2000 event in Sidney, Australia. Jumping evaluation is determined by a number of parameters that relate to the athletes performance. The time of flight is an important attribute that is included in the classification assessment since the year 2010. In this paper, a system that is able to evaluate the time of flight in trampoline jumping is proposed. The system uses an HC-SR04 ultrasound sensor to determine the athlete's impact with the trampoline by measuring the distance to the ground. The MSP430 is used to measure the time between two consecutive impacts and is therefore able determine the athlete's time of flight. A C# developed framework as also been implemented to interface with the MSP430 C developed code.

This work presents a digital transmission system by fiber optic, with relevance for the synchronism part. The fiber is a transmission medium with large bandwidth and low attenuation. So, this characteristics allow high bit rate and great distances. The transmission, instead asynchronous, is synchronous what provides a big efficiency 100%. The synchronous transmission needs a synchronizer. The objective is to study the synchronizers and evaluate their performance of output jitter UIRMS (Unit Interval Root Mean Square) versus input SNR (Signal Noise Ratio).

Nowadays, high quality standards are so deeply inserted in organizations' core that their costumers may think they know its meaning or how to identify is a certain product complies to those standards. Therefore, it is important to keep improving business processes, since organizations rely on them for a closer connection with their customers. However, business versatility, diversity and dynamics lead to an uniformed communications network between organizations since competition and performance demand is higher. Thus, the constant need to be in contact with the client and the capacity of meeting their needs more efficiently are important values to an organization as far as value creation concerns, as well as sustainable competitive advantage.

Abstract
We live today in a highly demanding and competitive world where evolution, constant creativity and innovation define the survival or disappearance of certain industries and services and the emergence of new products and solutions. The urgency to meet the market's specific needs requires more streamlined procedures and use of methodologies and heuristics exploring the systematization on creativity and innovation. Decision-making must be supported with strong arguments, both in terms of implementing new policies at the level of development of new products. Thus, the resource and the use of tools and methodologies for making sustained decision on strong foundations and based on experience become vital. Similarly, innovation is today a major goal of many organizations, being a necessary condition for any kind of activity. In fact, human creativity can be seen as a very old phenomenon being that their practices and techniques diversified consistently over time. Also, systematic heuristics for solving scientific, technical and artistic are not a phenomenon of the twentieth century but have been applied for centuries.

Abstract
Given the inherent difficulties of develop preventive maintenance plans appropriate to the use of equipment, this paper presents a methodology based on the minimum cost criterion for determining the optimal intervals of preventive maintenance as a function of the equipment use. The optimization of the model developed was carried out through the use of genetic algorithms, and their implementation was performed using the computing platform Matlab. To facilitate the interface between the user and the computer platform implemented a graphical user interface was developed using the visual interface tool (GUIDE) available in the Matlab computing platform. In order to assess the robustness of the proposed methodology, it was used as a case study a condensed chiller equipment to air, responsible for the air conditioning of a secondary school and presented the corresponding results obtained and made its critical analysis. The results obtained allow us to predict the success of the proposed methodology in the definition of preventive maintenance plans of equipment depending on its use, minimizing its cost.

This paper presents a multi-classifier approach for classifying microfilariae in 2-D images. A shape descriptor based on the quench function is described. This descriptor is represented as a feature vector that encodes the shape information. The color feature vector is calculated as an HSV histogram. Two \textit{C}-SVM classifiers were used to train both color and shape feature vectors, one for each vector. The posterior probabilities calculated from the scores of each classifier are then used to calculate the final classification decision. The experimental results show that, the proposed approach is very powerful when compared to various approaches.

Abstract
This study aims at analyzing the architectonic space component present in the 2014 Revigres catalogue emphasizing its significant and signifying features exhibited in the “arquiespaço”. The “arquisespaço” is an innovating instrument of spatial perception. Several studies were carried out where this model has been applied, namely, to the advertising magazine static image space, to the exhibition static image, to a medieval fair static image, among others. However, it would be equally interesting to check whether this model can be applied to the catalogue space image, therefore and for this purpose, the “Revigrés 2014” has been chosen and we aim to analyze how the spatial identities which promote the Revigrés brand have been chosen, while simultaneously visualize the brand promoters' behaviors in the exhibition of its products concerning the “arquiespaço” scenic space. To teach how to visualize the space having as a standing point a set of theoretical conceptualizations is a creative challenge to our imagination, since the non-verbal communication is a rich and genuine system of communication, once it comprises the behavioral heritage of the human tissue inserted in its culture and time. The architecture may express this feature by devaluing its physical and traditional component.

Abstract
The Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier is one of the compelling works of modern architecture. Le Corbusier, based on the premise that the house is a “machine à habiter", points up the system of relations that organizes the following ideas: machine, movement, film and photography. Le Corbusier used his own drawings, photographs and films as part of the creative process of his architecture. Cinema shows how the movement expressed by the image could create emotions. Architecture has the same power – using the relations between the body and the space. Le Corbusier works on the synthesis between cinema and architecture. As a starting point we focus at the Villa Savoye in Poissy.

Abstract
This paper presents environmental impacts analysis of constructive options applied at the architectural design stage of a residential building project involving the construction system of lightweight steel framing (LSF) compared to the traditional system of reinforced concrete. For this purpose, two different models of an architectural housing project were created: Model A (LSF construction system) and Model B (traditional construction system - reinforced concrete). The environmental impacts of these two models were assessed with the LCA tool "Athena ™ Impact Estimator for Buildings 4.5". From the analysis and interpretation of LCA results obtained in the architectural design phase of two housing projects models, it was found that the LSF is an alternative with lower environmental impact when compared with traditional construction system. There was a reduction of all impacts directly resulting from fossil fuels: global warming potential, stratospheric ozone depletion, ground level ozone (smog) creation and acidification and acid deposition. Other impacts such as neutrification/eutrophication of water bodies and toxic releases to air, water and land are also lower in the model with the LSF.

Abstract
This paper presents a study about the environmental impacts analysis concerning the architectural project sustainable decisions. It's related to the design of vegetated coverings systems. A life cycle analysis (LCA) of three different green roof alternatives using the OpenLCA software was realized. First, LCA of extensive green roof is undertaken in order to establish benchmarks for the environmental indicators. Then, the changes to the life cycle impacts are determined for the addition of a two modular green roof: one is a commercial solution named Green Roof Blocks using Aluminium modular box and other is the GeoGreen modular system. The environmental impact analysis concluded that among the three green roofs system the GeoGreen is undoubtedly the architectural design solution bring less environmental impact. It was also perceived that aluminium box solution can lead to greater emissions, with larger incidence in marine ecotoxicity. Finally, this study has highlighted the benefits of recycling in GeoGreen system as a source of raw material for the development of new materials and construction systems to reduce the consumption of non-renewable materials and the carbon footprint of construction sector

Placemaking - Quality of public space Catarina Dais - [email protected]
Universidade da beira interior
Abstract
The subject of this study is the Ribeira do Porto area and it aims to sensibilise about the design of public spaces, under the Placemaking movement. This term, which was created by the non-profit organization Project for Public Spaces, had a worldwide outcome and its main purpose is to identify and to create high-quality public spaces, in which communities play a crucial role, evolving and interacting themselves in their own space and/or to create their own too. We intended to study this movement, its history, and two more themes bound up with Placemaking roots: public space activities and experience, and the standards to create social living. According to Placemaking, both issues are related, as it is necessary to understand that the activities that take place in a certain space rely on its qualitative aspects, and so the need to know which standards define those ones. That being said, we aim to compare what was studied with the Ribeira do Porto area, so that we could understand what makes a good public space, thus realizing that that place is a great iconic exemplar of the standards described by the authors.

A model of energy efficiency from the analysis of
resilient territories Rolando-Arturo Cubillos-González - [email protected]
Catholic university of Colombia
Abstract
The climate change is causing a high accumulation of CO2 on the planet. For that reason, in Bogotá has been identified the need for high resilience, specifically, ecological resilience given the unpredictable nature of climate change. Solutions to this problem must be directed towards the design of resilient city which respond sustainably to this phenomenon. The study identified that a territory is capable of being resilient when three factors come together: flexibility, auto regulation and the adaptation of urban patterns. A resilient territory is the relationship between the habitability of a building over the flexibility that a block has to sustain it and thus combat climate change. The aim of this study was to design a model of energy efficiency from the analysis of resilient territories in Bogotá. The methodology used was experimental and consisted of two techniques for the construction of the proposed model: factor analysis and operational research. The result was the development of a new model which addresses, in the most effective manner, the problems of efficiency present today when building a city. In conclusion, this new model is expected to give decision strategies which will enable for the construction or renovation of urban areas in Bogotá.

Abstract
This article presents issues related to the teaching of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in Brazil presenting an overview with further deepening of analysis in relation to the Brazilian scene, indicating advantages and possibilities of the implementation of this initiative. Experiencing a profound economic crisis, Brazil is at a propitious time for the development and implementation of integrated solutions for civil engineering. Due to decreased government investments in infrastructure and construction projects Brazilian companies tirelessly seek for actions that promote the rationalization of construction processes through new technology and information models, maintaining the best form of professionals to meet the demand of the required services forward the reduction of the effective workforce of the company and optimization of projects in an attempt to eliminate or reduce the risk of construction. Even the last decade has been a time unprecedented for the growth of the construction market of Brazil, the sector companies do not adequately invested their resources in training its employees and developing technology. As a result of the analysis it appears that the use of BIM can be considered a necessary and immediate implementation action.

Abstract
The main objective of the present research consists of a comparative analysis between the traditional process and the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology, focusing on the structural component of the project. The study allows the identification of limitations and problems resulting from the analysis of a specific case, and the proposed recommendations and best practices to promote achieving a higher degree of efficiency. The comparison made relatively to different transfer modes of information between systems, leads to the conclusion that the ability of the interoperability, in the used technological applications, is still a problem that requires significant research because it conditions the collaboration between the different project specialties, and therefore, the obtaining of a higher quality project. However, it has been verified that the work process based on the BIM concept brings advantages to a fragmented and uncooperative industry.

Abstract
This paper presents the CeAMatE-on project. Its main objective is to address the lack of basic and complementary knowledge in mathematics, which are considered essential to the integration of students that access higher education to attend undergraduate Engineering degrees. What distinguishes this e-learning platform of many other existing is the inclusion of pedagogical aspects considered very important, in particular, the organization of lessons depending on the learning style and cognitive level of the student. After episodes of success or failure transmitted by the use of students, this platform makes easier the teacher´s work in order to rearrange the material in the learning process of each student. The CeAMatE-on platform has available a specialized front-end that will filter the information for each user profile (students and teachers) and a back-office system for administrators (select group of teachers). It is a platform implemented as a plug-in of the e-learning platform Moodle. This project has a set of pedagogical concerns that develop around an axis: all the proposed activities adapt to the students cognitive level and their preferred learning profiles. Therefore, the mathematical activities are adapted to the cognitive development of students applying the Bloom Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. Each lesson will also have different versions depending on the specific learning profiles. This environment will enhance a relevant research work for the redesign and improvement of educational and training projects of higher education institutions providing degree courses in engineering, teaching practices and educational staff training policies.

Abstract
The rehabilitation of buildings becomes increasingly recurrent in the construction sector in Portugal as in other European countries. The incentives for rehabilitation have helped increasing interest of the investors in this field of construction, as there is a large economic potential of this type of intervention due to the significant vacant and deteriorated building stock in the urban centers of major cities. There has been a profound ignorance about the dynamics of organising this type of undertakings, which makes the participation of owners, promoters and construction firms little homogeneous, particularly at the level of detail of the project and of the prices charged. The study of the construction process, analyzes the different steps and costs associated with them. This analysis is carried out taking into account five case studies in the city of Covilhã, by making three comparisons of the values obtained for the rehabilitation undertakings with the values concerning the reference price for housing construction, the taxable value and the average value bank appraisal. The results obtained lead to the conclusion that the total cost of a project of rehabilitation is generally lower when compared with the new construction.

Abstract
Currently, people spend much of their time inside their homes. Therefore, a good indoor environmental quality is essential, since in addition to the risk parameters present in indoor air, the relative humidity and the dangers inherent in housing, the health and human well-being can also be affected by high or low temperatures inside their homes. It is necessary that during the use of the building the sources of risk are identified, in order to combat them and to promote the health of its occupants. However, there is not a method to assess the housing issues in order to safeguard the health and well being. Thus, it is proposed to create a methodology that provides a risk assessment for the occupants of a dwelling, with certain technical features and it is expected that will be supported by computer application.

Abstract Nowadays people spend a large amount of their time indoors. However, prevailing indoor conditions in terms of comfort and environmental quality could present health challenges to the inhabitants. In this context, a pilot campaign was launched by an interdisciplinary team from University of Beira Interior in order to collect indoor environment data from 6 households representing 6 different decades. Weekly measurements were obtained from the rooms most involved in the household activities. Additionally, suspended particles, settled dust and outdoor soil were collected in order to quantify metals, organometals and fungi. We aim to obtain a picture as detailed as possible of the household indoor characteristics and their potential reflection in its inhabitants. Ultimate this study can give rise to a set of recommendations regarding construction characteristics, finishing materials, and space usage so as to reduce health risks and hazards, as well as promoting the inhabitants well-being.

Abstract
Fungi are a group microbes, that are found with particular incidence in the indoor environment. Their direct toxicity or capability of generating toxic compounds has been associated with a large number of adverse health effects, such as infectious diseases, allergies and other toxic effects. Given that in modern society people spend a large part of their time indoors; fungal communities' characterization of this environmental compartment assumes paramount importance in the comprehension of health effects. House dust is an easy to obtain, time-integrative matrix, being its use in epidemiological studies on human exposure to environmental contaminants highly recommended. Furthermore, dust can carry a great variety of fungal content that undergoes a large number of processes that modulate and further complexify human exposure. Our study aims to quantify and identify the fungal community on house dust samples collected using two different methodologies (an approach not often seen in the literature): active (vacuum cleaner bags) and passive sampling (dust settled in petri dishes). Sampling was performed as part of the ongoing 6X60X6 Project in which six houses from Covilhã (Portugal), with building dates representative of six decades, were studied for a period of sixty days.

Abstract
The evaluation of indoor environmental quality, particularly of households, is of paramount importance since modern humans spend most of their time indoors. Environmental contaminants with toxic potential play a central role in the modulation of indoor quality and recent trends have pointed towards their quantification in dust, which is a highly integrative matrix. bThe present work uses mercury as a case study integrated in a pioneering multidisciplinary study aiming to ascertain (by measuring a set of parameters for sixty days in six houses built in six different decades - 6x60x6) how the household characteristics and residents' habits modulate indoor environmental quality and, in turn, drive impacts upon their health. Total mercury levels in house dust samples varied between 138.7 ppb and 1075.5 ppb, with a single house recording a value higher than the limit admissible by Portuguese law (Portaria Nº1450/2007). A comparison of the obtained values with similiar studies worldwide is performed and an action plan for the full development of the study is drafted.

Abstract
“Emergency architecture: ephemeral contemporary prototypes” is a study about the shelters developed to address emergency situations, such as natural disasters or civil conflicts, as well as the role and implication of architects in this field of growing importance. First of all, a background of selected examples from the history of architecture, both traditional and modern, shows certain solutions, design criteria or utopias which can be inspiring for contemporary prototypes. Secondly, the key criteria of emergency architecture are listed and defined. These principles are exemplified through a selection of eight case studies. These prototypes cover different locations, materials, construction and structural systems, degree of prefabrication, scales, response times and duration in time. Finally, the prototypes are compared and evaluated by graphic and schematic means, allowing to draw conclusions from their study.

Folding Wave House: housing for a nomadic surfer Teresa Sílvia Magalhães Loureiro Carvalho - [email protected]
Universidade da Beira Interior
Abstract
Over the years, the human being has evolved. Their mentality, tastes, needs and routines have changed. Housing must be reinvented to readapt to modern man. It is only in this way that architecture can fulfill its main purpose: to be functional. Today, mainly due to low-cost travel and the growing focus on polices promoting tourism, the human being is being seduced by the discovery of new adventures, cultures, people and places. The human being has begun to alternate between a sedentary and a nomadic life. Just like this new nomadic stereotype, surfers live in a constant search for the best waves and new experiences. Bearing in mind this new mentality and the resurgence of this nomadic lifestyle, housing must be reinvented. Faced with this new reality, this article analises the lifestyle, habits and needs of people who make traveling their lifestyle, specifically the surfer lifestyle, which results in the presentation of a contemporary housing prototype, which is still in the development stage, which is appropriate for the new nomadic lifestyle of surfers. This prototype will reflect the surfers simplistic, flexible, mobile lifestyle.

Abstract
The interior of Portugal is full of places with a large number of abandoned assets, many of them already in ruin, of difficult access, mostly consumed by wild nature. These places, full of history, memories and an essence of a recovery driver vendor to be inhabited again, transmit us the idea of scenarios, which can be traversed and every opening we are presented with the light and surrounding nature. Is increasingly important for architects, currently, do an investigation of these building techniques to reinterpret them, for better interconnection between seasons, incorporating such knowledge in their rehabilitation projects, offering the customer a new experience of inhabiting combining the vernacular with the contemporary. At a time that we should look at the existing, where it is necessary to give them a new life, the steel is a material that brings us great advantages and with great pragmatism if combined with other materials, for example the stone, allowing both materials with their natural strength value as object end. If the combination of the architectural concept with the metallic structures exceed all existing constraints, the advantages of the use of metal structures in housing construction increase.

Abstract
Lo que aquí se presenta es el resultado de un proyecto de investigación I+D+I destinado a mejorar la presencia y dotación de "lo sanitario/asistencial" en los pequeños núcleos urbanos de Castilla y León (España) [1], región que sufre una particular estructura territorial de alta dispersión. Hasta ahora la solución había sido habilitar, por parte de los consistorios, espacios no específicos ("consultorios médicos") en dependencias municipales de muy variada naturaleza y adecuación, no siempre convenientemente ubicados, con la presencia intermitente de uno o varios profesionales sanitarios. La multiplicación de los recursos necesarios en cada consultorio y la necesidad de ofrecer desplazamientos continuados a los centros de salud de área hace de éste un modelo mejorable con la aplicación de los criterios actuales de eficacia y sostenibilidad poblacional. Según esto el proyecto ha propuesto investigar un nuevo modelo basado en un "consultorio móvil" plenamente equipado, de construcción prefabricada, autónomo y transportable, que permita la llegada de un servicio mejor dotado a los pequeños núcleos de población y sea representativo de la administración impulsora del mismo.

Abstract
Low-cost survey of mechanical parts used for reverse engineering is having an increasing interest. Nowadays, low-cost technologies are being developed in order to obtain a digital 3D replica in a short time. Traditional photogrammetry together with the artificial vision has resulted in Structure from Motion (SFM) Photogrammetry technique in order to accelerate and make the documentation process more efficient. Thus, photogrammetry adopts SFM algorithms that reconstruct the positions of the photographs in three-dimensional space. In this work, a original step of a comparative nature in the digitization of mechanical parts is reported using the mentioned technique, photogrammetry Structure From Motion (SFM), procedure framed in terms of low cost, since free software has been used to obtain the digital models. The paper describes, from two specific morphology parts, the results obtained in terms of surveying and processing times and the levels of accuracy achieved.

Abstract
This paper analyzed the behavior under seismic action of two possible tower typologies of the proposal of the Third Tagus Crossing (TTT). The two proposed forms have the same height and the rods are anchored in the towers also at the same height. Both towers are excited with the earthquake in the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction. The seismic action in the transverse direction to the bridge is the one that excites differently the two types of towers, and so it is with this action taking place that are found the greatest forces and displacements in both towers. The tower inverted Y is a more efficient solution in relation to the tower in H frame, when the towers are excited by the transversal earthquake perpendicular to the direction of the bridge deck. The results contained in this document are based on an initial analysis, and will be validated and if necessary corrected in the future by other more elaborate analysis.

This study presents the applicability of IBIS-FS radar system in a specific structure. As stated in previous works of the co-authors [1,2], using radar interferometry focuses mainly on structures such as towers and bridges. This case study focused on the monitoring of a telecommunication pole, which was made a dynamic analysis of the structure under the influence of environmental vibrations (AVT) with the main objective of obtaining the frequencies and modes of vibration resulting from it. Complementarily was still possible to obtain design data required for the geometric characterization of the structure, which enabled the realization of a numerical model. With the use of this model was thus possible to carry out a modal analysis, in order to obtain a comparison of the frequencies of the vibration modes between the numerical model and the analysis performed by the radar IBIS-FS.

Abstract
With the development of identification procedures for the dynamic characteristics of structures through their responses, monitoring of structural integrity has undergone a major expansion mainly for important structures (economic and social). Due to the development of monitoring systems, was developed recently a more advanced technology for structural monitoring, without contacts, based upon general principles of radar more properly on the reflection of electromagnetic waves. This technology translates the radar interferometric IBIS-FS, and uses as a working principle the interferometric techniques and continuous waves generated with a frequency step (Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave, CW-SF). This radar system is a viable bet for the future the monitoring of structural integrity. This study is based on the master's thesis of the first co-author [1], and presents the constitution of the radar interferometric IBIS-FS and the techniques of its working principle and all the others that allow the user to get a good implementation of the monitoring.

Abstract
Fuzzy controllers have been successfully applied to a wide range of engineering problems due its robustness and the ability to deal with non-linear plants. Despite the inherent advantages of these controllers, there is no systematic technique for converting human knowledge into the rule base of a fuzzy inference system. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is an artificial intelligence technique that has been successfully used for mapping input-output relationships based on available data sets, i.e., to automatically adjust a fuzzy inference system with a backpropagation algorithm based on training data. This paper presents the application of a ANFIS model to optimize the parameters of a fuzzy controller for structural control of a building structure using a MR damper. The results obtained with the neuro-fuzzy controller are compared with those of a passive control modes to assess the performance of the proposed control system in reducing the seismic response of the structure.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to study the influence of different yarn systems (weft, base warp and loop warp) on the performance of terry fabrics, concerning moisture absorption, wicking and moisture release properties. For this study, different combinations of these yarn systems were used in the same terry fabric structure, always using TENCEL® yarns in the base warp, and using cotton and TENCEL® yarns in various combinations in the loop warp and weft systems. The results show that the use of TENCEL® yarns in any yarn system favours the diffusion of moisture, while the use of cotton yarn in the loop warps favours the moisture absorption capacity.

Abstract
The concept of quality of life appears in 1920, through the british economist Arthur Cecil Pigou, who uses this term to describe the government's impact on the lives of the most underprivileged. With the installation of the industrialized era and the end of the World War two, the society changed the paradigm and began a constant search for ways to improve their quality of life. This concept is developed along with the development of the concept of education, health, housing, transportation, work and leisure, as well as indicators of increased life expectancy and decreased infant mortality. The evolution of technology had played a key role in the evolution of these concepts as well as the Design in finding solutions for application of these technologies. In the case of the textile industry the trend is the development of smart textiles involving electronic engineering in the process of conceptualizing and manufacturing. The result is the wearable technology that open new horizons for creating new solutions, opening new market niches with high added value. Currently there are several products on the market whose functionality and utility gave them an immutable status over the years, and the product evolution has not advanced in the current trend. This is the case of ribbon, whose functionality can acquire new skills and be used in different textile components in various areas. These capabilities may be added by the incorporation and variation of color. As an example with the ability to become photochromatic materials (with a variation of light), thermochromic (with temperature variation), electrochromic (with electricity variance) mecanic-chromic (with voltage variation and / or strain) and also the possibility of incorporating luminescent coatings and the incorporation of luminescent materials in the structure. In this study will be developed an product design with new features and adapt the technologies so far developed in new solutions and / or new product recreations.

Abstract
The measurement of the compressional behaviour of fabrics forms an integral part of the objective measurements currently being considered in product engineering. In this paper the compressional behaviour of fabrics up 49,1 kPa has been analyzed to derive the compression parameters and study the possible relationship between them and the size of the compressible and incompressible layers of the fabric. Plain weave and twill weave Polyester/wool and polylactide/wool 55/45 fabrics washed and heat set, died and decatized have been analyzed. The application of Onions and van Wyk models enable to define the size of the external compressible layers, and the inner incompressible one. Dry conditions increase the size of compressible layers, especially in PLA/Wool, and decrease the size of the incompressible one. Variations in the size of layers mainly occur during dyeing, the effect of which is more relevant in PLA/Wool blends and in plain weaves. The size of compressible layers is highly correlated with compressibility and work and linearity of compression Kabawata parameters, and a structural parameter of van Wyk and the compression index of Onions. Compressional behaviour can be identified by some of the parameters related with the compressible layers and the size of the incompressible one.

Abstract
Military operating in the theater of war have the need to protect themselves from sneak attacks both during the day and overnight. The nocturnal attacks are the most problematic, since enemies can be detected by infrared technology. One of the tools used for protective clothing is the capability to reduce thermal signature or body heat emitted. The aim of this work was to study materials that can reduce the thermal signature, i.e. materials with camouflage capabilities while remaining invisible, even to infrared radiation. For this we used several narrow fabrics printed with metallic pigments based on aluminum and silver particles. The results show that the silver based metallic pigment as a good ability to camouflage, i.e. has better ability to mask heat emitted by the human body

Abstract
The growth of urban population has emphasised the need for better urban mobility management and Intelligent Transport Systems are a promising possibility as they favour multimodal mobility and they can be an important tool for “mobility as a service”. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of ICT use in urban mobility under three perspectives: traffic management, public transport and customer. Then, the paper highlights the possibilities of collecting data, their ownership and typical applications. There are two trends on ICT' use: mobility platforms that integrate data with the objective of optimize the urban mobility management and Intelligent Journey Planners. In relation to mobility platforms the paper studies three examples and highlight some main trends and how platform providers are positioning themselves in the market. Then, this paper discusses the relation between mobility platforms and intelligent journey planners, concluding that the question of data availability and ownership is essential. In fact, mobility platforms can be a huge data source for IJP but the opposite is also true, i.e., the IJP can have an important role in the data collecting process for mobility platforms. Finally, the paper points out questions for future research that are essential to answer to the challenges mentioned previously.

Abstract
Vernacular architecture typologies, such as wooden stilt-houses, have been threatened by the vulnerability to conservation status degradation. This problem is not an exception in Portugal, where the few remaining examples have been neglected, with the disappearance or abandonment of almost all buildings, damaging architectural and urban spatial features. This legacy is rapidly disappearing, weakening the European cultural map. This research presents the results from a smart evaluation method using an ICT (information and communication technology) platform designed for the urbanistic evaluation of wooden stilt-houses, considering their conservation status. The study includes about 90 buildings, located along Tagus river banks. On the one hand, the results are an exhaustive survey of the buildings, usefull as guideline for spatial strategies and instruments to protect this legacy. On the other hand, it can be used in other similar wooden buildings, to check their conservation status and therefore to define best rehabilitation actions.

Abstract
Coordinate mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEPF) projects is a great challenge. The inability in identify conflicts in 2D-drawings create delays in construction process due the identification of conflicts on field when the budget it's already approved; produces rework and influence the productivity of all the involved on the process. Building Information Modelling (BIM) can help AEC industry to find possible problems before the beginning of the construction work. Nevertheless, BIM benefits related to project compatibility are associated with level of detail (LOD) of the resulting model of the virtual construction phase (VDC). The paper is focused in presenting a case study about VDC uses and benefits allied with constructability analysis by civil construction industry and also present our findings in researches about the requests for information (RFI). For paper development were made literature reviews, interviews with the people involved in the process and qualitative analysis, used to evaluate the different types of RFI generated for the water/sanitary project facilities. Through reduction of RFI after the virtual construction, a table of recommendations was elaborated so that would be possible the identification and prevention of RFI and so, with that, would be possible a more proactive posture about RFI.

The people behaviour under fire situation has a strong impact on the risk, and the recognition of this fact is the existence of several studies and buildings evacuation models where they intend to simulate this behaviour. In this paper we present an ongoing study in Portugal (doctoral thesis) for the construction of a model for people behaviour under fire situation, which will quantify the increase of time in the evacuation of the buildings due to this behaviour. The model will be developed based on individual profiles of people's behaviour, constructed from the analysis of data acquired in the course of the study. These individual profiles depend mainly on the people characteristics, for example, age, gender, training, mobility capacity, familiarity with fire drills and the relationship they have with the building.

Abstract
The mechanical properties of modern steels, thanks to method of processing and carefully selected chemical composition, allow them to compete effectively with carbon fibre based reinforcement. The paper presents a comparative study of the two beams under long-term static load. Both beams were externally strengthened along the bottom surface, one by adhering the SRP tape and the other with the use of CFRP strip. The beams have been already kept under sustained load for over a year. Immediate deflection turned out to be in line with expectations and similar to this calculated in accordance with current standards, while surprising is the relatively small increase of deflection in time. In the analysed period it represents less than 50% of immediate deflection. Received values of deflection of a SRP tape were slightly larger, as a result of slightly smaller effective cross-sectional area of the strengthening. In both cases, the results demonstrate high efficiency gains in reducing deflections, when strengthening is applied to the element with a small initial deflection. In addition, it was found a large safety margin for adapting the standards methods for determining the deflection of beams externally strengthened with composites based on UHTS steel or carbon fibre.

Abstract
The environmental issues raised over recent years, mainly the lowering of fuel consumption and the consequent emission of polluting gases, have led to a bigger concern with the environment. As a response to such concern, the asphalt road industry has developed warm mix asphalts which allow to reduce the production temperature. On the other hand, the incorporation of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement in these mixtures aims to improve sustainability by reducing the production of waste and the consumption of natural resources. The main aim of this paper is to produce a comparative study of the mechanical behaviour of both the warm mix asphalt and the conventional hot mixtures. The tests performed have demonstrated the good performance of warm mix asphalt with 30 % RAP. The result of the stiffness modulus to the mixture with RAP, of 4750 MPa, is very close to the hot mixture. The water sensitivity for the hot mixture and warm mixture is the same, of 97%, and the fatigue resistance of the three mixtures analysed is very similar. However, it was also found that these mixtures require an increased care during mainly as far as the temperature control is concerned.

Abstract
Córdoba, over the Middle Age, was established as a city with a very important monastic architectural presence. With such a big number of buildings belonging to the clergy, consecutive ecclesiastical confiscations that took place in the 19th century affected it with violence. The expropriation process meant a series of drastic changes in an economical, social, political and town planning level. Furthermore, it involved restructuring some spaces to adapt themselves to new purposes, completely different from what they used to be. The transformation of monasteries into military headquarters has special interest because it happened in many cities in the Iberian Peninsula, having an important background in the French occupation at the beginning of the 19th century. In this article we focus on the existing cases in Córdoba, which still today keep their military functions in spite of having suffered some building works and the passing of time.

Transformations in the convents of the city of
Seville. Antonio Cubero Hernández - [email protected]

Abstract
The rich history of the city of Seville has provided it a wide architectural heritage, which is necessary to preserve. In the early twentieth century, Spain began to express concern about the preservation of its historical legacy, trying to protect historical and artistic monuments. However, it was not until the arrival of the democratic political system when this awareness of preservation takes true precedence over other matters. In this temporal context, the young Andalusian Government was looking for definitive venues for the new institutions, with the target of the upcoming Universal Exhibition of Seville in 1992. The recognized architect Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra was commissioned to study a range of buildings in the city susceptible of hosting new uses. The result was the book "Cien Edificios de Sevilla, susceptibles de reutilización para usos institucionales". This work, published in 1986, has become a reference catalogue of sevillian built heritage. Of the one hundred buildings studied there, all of a certain scale in the city, 18 are convents or ex-convents. This paper will try to find out the destiny of these buildings themselves as monastic heritage, but also in relationship to other types of heritages.

Portuguese Cistercian Monasteries layouts:

Abstract
The role played by rules, or its absence, in differing forms of monastic space is questioned. How can a religious Order define the insertion of its monasteries in the territory? Is there a link between the history of a country and the monastic insertion in the territory? How can an implied rule become a fundamental and imposed rule when a monastery is planned and built? Through the analysis of monastic insertions on the Portuguese territory, as well as the study cases of monastic medieval architectures, the debate is initiated. The first Cistercian monasteries appear in Portugal, in the 12th century, far from the urban context. The foundations of the Cistercian order in this country, especially in the first centuries of its history, were associated with occupation and land management objectives. It must be taken into account that the transformation and development of the territory has been responsible for isolated buildings and settlements which have gradually been absorbed by the expansion of the urban fabric.

REHABILITATION-ARCHITECTURE-CITY. The
intervention of Eduardo Souto De Moura in the
Bernardas Convent of Tavira Luis Rubiño Chacón - [email protected]
Universidad de Sevilla
Abstract
According to Kenneth Frampton: "Architecture as a continuous transformation over time is the almost unsaid creed of the School of Porto." (A & V-47, 1994). This way of understanding legacy architectures interventions, brings together past and future with the present, linking Heritage and Contemporaneity. But analyzing developments in theories and methods of operation about pre-existences, on the other hand, means to ratify the pre-eminent role that is given to architecture, based on the principles established by Rossi for the city analysis, as the manager of evolutionary urban processes. His innovative concept of monument as an arranger of relationships between city areas, entrusts to the analysis of interventions on them, the evolutionary explanation of their environments. Souto de Moura, trained as an architect at the School of Porto in the second half of the 20th century, is heirtor of the modernity foundations and debtor of his student days urban theories. As a result, he pursues contextualize the actions of the project against a dreamlike retrieval of the object and its urban integration against the individualization of the "monument". From this point the text deals with the architectural intervention analysis in the Bernardas Convent to convert it into a residential complex. Most of the rehabilitations of river sections with their banks in cities has often been inappropriate. The reason for this is that designers do not understand the natural functioning of a river and they are synthesizing and sterilizing these urban spaces, distorting its natural functioning. Besides, there are clear proofs, that these rehabilitations are useless, contributing to the devaluation of the river ecosystem without improving its relationships with the city. The other result of the water lines destructions are the educational terms, broadcasting a wrong idea of the functioning of the river.

Abstract
The estimation of stream flows and the analysis of maximum flood dlow are two of the most important areas of Civil Engineering intervention, regarding to water resources and the hydraulic systems design. However, the hydrological variables data presents many failures or insufficient size, and to be nonexistent in some cases, which causes limitations in the models that can be applied in those hydraulic systems design. In this context, it is common hydrological studies be confronted with the need to develop methods for simulation of stream flows, for extension of existing data, as well as to estimate stream flows in ungauged watersheeds that needs easy data information. Therefore, was applied, by simplicity that translates, the sequential water budget, based on Thornthwaite evapotranspiration. At the same time and assuming that are no existis hydrometric data information in estimation stream flows section, we applied regionalization models to implement this same data information from stream gauging stations. Thus, the methodologies proposed were applied, on the watershed defined by the hydrometric station Fragas da Torre, for evaluation of the available water resources. The results showed that the sequential water budget, based on Thornthwaite evapotranspiration, is suitable for estimating stream flows from precipitation data. As also been confirmed the suitability of proposed model from regionalization criteria, noticing that a region not recorded hydrometric information is not necessarily prevent be able to estimate hydrological variables that model the same region.

Abstract
The watersheds are important planning units and should be preserved for the availability of water for public supply. For the protection of these basins it is necessary to verify the influences of use and occupation of the soil and its possible impacts to these areas [1]. In the State of Goiás, a very worrying use is the Final Disposal of Solid Waste (DRS), since 95% of these sites are operating in an irregular situation [2]. In view of the exposed situation, it is important to develop tools and processes that can support the management of sanitation. According to [3], the definition of status and sustainability requires recognition of the current conditions, management practices and environmental factors of a unit. Environmental sustainability assessments are important mechanisms for diagnostics for conservation purposes and basins, often using calculation of indices to identify their vulnerability [4]. In this way it is possible to identify those with higher risk of contamination by evaluating the impact that the presence of DRS may have on the leachate process [5]. The Geographic Information System (GIS) is a tool for processing and analysis, used to process and integrate spatial and non-spatial information for the visualization of results being used to evaluate environmental sustainability [6] and [7]. This research, therefore, is justified by the need to treat and analyze physical characteristics of the Surface Water Collection Basins (BCSs) in order to preserve the quality of its waters. In this context, the objective of the research was to identify and characterize BCSs as the presence of DRSs in the state of Goiás, generating a cartographic base and providing subsidies for sustainability.

Abstract
The growing urban occupation of soil through infrastructure constructions leads to increasing the degradation issue. The impermeabilization is one of the most important factors that can directly increase the degradation of the soil structure. One of the practical solutions that can assist to prevent soil impermeabilization is using of permeable surface. The present research study was focused on the development and evaluation of an efficiency permeable pavement in order to reduce runoff when compared with the reference or dense asphalt pavement. For the surface layer was used a porous asphalt mix with bitumen elaster 13/60 and Viatop fibers Premium. It was constructed to a rainfall simulator designed and created specifically for this study. The results showed that: - The addition of cellulosic fibers Viatop Premium increased 20% resistance of bituminous mixtures; - The rainfall simulator developed proved to be efficient in the analysis of the pavement infiltration capacity under different intensities of rainfall and duration of the event; - Hydraulic permeable paving performance was satisfactory, since hardly generated runoff, reduces by approximately 98 % the precipitate volume.

Engineering and architecture from compulsory
education. An experience in secondary level. Javier Encinas Hernández - [email protected]
Universidad de Valladolid
Abstract
The introduction of didactic strategies to educate in engineering and architecture from compulsory education could allow, from early levels, the formation of more interested students in their specific areas such as built environment and their ecological impact. We present an educational experience in middle-level education and its theoretical support, from which a wide range of concepts, skills and attitudes could be managed in the classroom to enable pupils, from the empirical experience, to be participants in sustainability problems, approaching to their scientific basis and analysing the way the architecture and engineering working together make some proposals for a better ambience. Sensitizing students in these terms would allow them to become more involved citizens in relation to their human environment, strengthening the ties that relate them to the physical, social, scientific and cultural agents towards a better -and more responsible - experience of the place in which they will develop their lives.

Abstract
The article tells how it was mounted a children's book from a study on embankments, containing their definition, their training, their types, landslide risk analysis methodologies, among others. The great motivation of the research is the teaching of children to adults, as in the case of Tilly, a girl of ten at the time, who told caregivers about the arrival of a tsunami in Thailand in 2005 because he had learned a few days before at school and predict events like that. It is clear that many behavioral changes in society come from the basic education, and other examples of success were results from a decrease in cigarette users and the teaching of oral rehydration use through educational policies in basic education. The book was thought to, more simply, but no less scientific, teaching children more accessible language the main points to note when it comes to slope sliding risk areas.

Abstract
Basic Cycle students of Engineering, in a scientific initiation work performed works and projects to study and research Control and Automation. To this end, they developed practical activities through experiments to understand and discover the functioning of the most fundamental components of electronics. Activities that have gone through the study, generation and control of a Pixel Light, starting with analog and then automating through the Arduino microcontroller. With the same focus, students built a vehicle skirting obstacles using a set of analog circuits and components, culminating in the construction of a vehicle that had the same capacity but automated and controlled digitally by a microcontroller Arduino. In order to record these activities and disseminate the experience gained, the students wrote a collection of books, focused on the introduction of robotics for children and adolescents, divided into five volumes. This paper presents the concepts worked, practical activities and projects developed by the authors, which are part of the collection of books "Robotics for Children".

Abstract
In Portugal, energetic buildings rehabilitation is becoming a strategic area, since there is a progressive need to improve existing buildings rather than carry out new construction. The thermal and energetic rehabilitation allows buildings become more sustainable, corrects situations of inadequate functioning, decreases energy consumption for heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting, as well as it increases the comfort of their users and, in most cases, acts on the pathologies related with the presence of moisture and building damages. In this context, it was analysed the energy performance of an existing building, its main constructive weaknesses and some improvement proposals that can be carried out. This study focused in the outside environment, providing solutions that involve the use of thermal insulation of exterior walls and the replacement of existing glazed areas by other thermally more efficient. To determinate the energy efficiency of subject matter, both in its original form and after application of the solutions presented, appealed to a simplified calculation method, based on the Code for Energetic Performance of Commercial and Services Buildings (RECS).

Abstract
The objective of this research is to relate the main strategies, around the environmental comfort in the domestic civil construction, fixed by the popular knowledge, without the direct aid of the architect and the engineer. It was centered in the Morro do Atalaia, in Vila Velha, to investigate the residential façades, from visual identification and data entry. The results suggest the preeminence of aesthetics and safety in the interventions and modernization in façades. To the detriment, dispersed actions of environmental comfort point to contributions of the neo-urban construction, as a reasonable link between the traditional constructive way and the popular knowledge, constituting a practice to be understood and transmitted in Brazilian popular housing.

Abstract
Tabique is one of the main Portuguese traditional building techniques which is based on raw materials as earth and wood. In general, a tabique building component as a wall is formed by a simple timber structure connected through metal nails and covered by earth. The nails have an important role is this system because they are the unique elements that ensure the mechanical connection between the timber components. This traditional building technology as an expressive incidence in the Alto Douro Wine Region located in the interior of Northern Portugal, added to the UNESCO's Word Heritage Sites List in December 2001. Furthermore, previous research works have shown that the existing tabique construction, in this region, reveals a certain lack of maintenance and consequently present an advanced stage of deterioration. This aspect associated to the fact that there is still a lack of scientific studies in this field motivated the writing of this paper, which its main objective are to evaluate the importance of nail modelling in numerical analyses. This work intend also to guide and support future conservation and rehabilitation process helping to preserve this fabulous heritage.

Abstract
Tabique is the designation of a traditional Portuguese building technique which was extremely relevant until the beginning of the twenty century and before the introduction of the reinforced concrete technique. Therefore, there is an impressive Portuguese tabique heritage, in particular, in city centres. Taking into account that there is still no relevant technical information published concerning this building technique, it is important to promote further studies in order to be able to perform adequate repairing measures. This paper intends to give a contribution in this aspect by presenting three case studies of repairing of tabique buildings. A brief description of each building and the respective tabique walls, and some details of the adopted repairing measures options are highlighted.

Abstract
Public space as a city element has articulation properties fundamental in urban design. Looking into urban space evolution, there are always new transformations showing up that change the city image, as well as habits and uses. The waterfronts reflect these urban mutations through different development phases influenced by the mobility evolution among other aspects. All the theorical part joins contents that will be applied in a first phase, where it starts to introduces the city / public space relation. The social component plays a relevant role where the relation between people and space must not be forgotten at all. Waterfronts are simultaneous introduced here as a new chapter. They are studied by their mutations over time. The waterfronts rediscovery turns them in to new public spaces. During this chapter the most emblematic cases are described, where an historic sequence are created, from a international scenery to a national. In a second phase, the work takes a study about some specific cities and their complex relations with waterfronts. To proceed with it, a selection is created where a study segment shows cases along Rio Tejo: from Lisbon to Abrantes. This analysis gives, in a practice notion, the potentiality of each space, what takes the process to a new phase: architecture project. The analysis continues in one single study case (Santarém), where the city and its evolution become elements of study and essential to the waterfront regeneration project in Ribeira de Santarém. To proceed with it, it was important realize the real local needs, showing architecture as shape modulator tool. A multifunctional program starts an urban regeneration, having the revitalization, reuse and reconnection between center city and its waterfront, as the main propose.

Abstract
In this paper the post-1755 Lisbon connectivity of the city of Lisbon with the river Tagus is analysed with a random-walk agent-based simulation. This approach takes advantage of the simulation power of modern computation and the results highlight aspects of potential micro-dynamics of cities that would be invisible to analysis otherwise. The plans drawn for the city of Lisbon meant a departure from the medieval model of city in terms of mobility. The intricacy of the old city circulation spaces was greatly reduced in the new plans and connections between different areas were substantially improved. The results from the simulation of the random walk model, showed that the plans that kept the main force lines of the old city (plans 1,2 and 3) were the ones that had the less improvement in terms of mobility in respect to the random-walk model. The plans that had greater freedom from Manuel da Maya (plans 4, 6 and the chosen one) are, by contrast, easier to navigate. The chosen plan presents the highest permeability and connectivity of all the urban fabric of the several post-1755 plans and higher also that the late medieval city.

Abstract
Victória was one of the first cities founded in Portuguese America (1551), strategically located between the major port of Salvador and the Rio de Janeiro. The remaining structures of the port of Vitória - although built only in the twentieth century - were located along the same region in which espraiava the colonial port. The city had a visceral bond with this area because all she returned to the Bay landscape by fragmenting the port in several warehouses and their little berths which stretched along the coast. With the modernization of ports, Victoria unified its port facilities in large sheds of reinforced concrete built between 1927-59. However, the contemporary viewpoint of reuse of areas - in the current situation considered obsolete - puts to the port cities like Victoria the need for urban renewal in the social use values are prioritized at the expense of land speculation policies. The purpose of this communication is to introduce the discussion of preserving the port industrial heritage in order to highlight the importance of urban regeneration of the harbor area to the historic city center.

Abstract
The public space is the fundamental element in the conversion of waterfronts as it allows the integration of the "new city" in the existing urban fabric and the city/river connection. In this paper is drawn up an analysis of the public space of the Setúbal waterfront in view of the appreciation of the same over the years and after the implementation of the Polis Programme. This research followed a qualitative methodology of analysis of four public spaces based on their physical characteristics, experiences and occupation of those spaces. It is noticed that the Polis Programme of the Setúbal waterfront synthesizes a number of proposals envisaged in previous plans, which most of these comes from the first detailed plan of the Setúbal waterfront in 1992. Given the analysis of four public spaces of the Polis, there is its contribution to the cohesion of the city with the river. However, the Luísa Todi avenue is presented as a visual barrier between the same connection. Through the qualification of existing public spaces and implementation of new public spaces, the Polis Programme contributed to the qualification of public space according to the philosophy of the European waterfronts, where priority is the city/river connection.

Abstract
The modern conversion of cities waterfronts must take into consideration the urban design of the city, through a holistic vision of the territory. In the conversion process the public space is the fundamental element capable of integrating the “new city” with the existing urban fabric. An analysis of the public space of the Setúbal waterfront over the years is presented in this paper, with particular focus on the years following the execution of the Polis Programme. A quantitative approach was undertaken and the public spaces data was treated mathematically. This paper shows how the Polis programme contributed towards the increase of public space of the Setúbal waterfront and contributed for the conversion of those spaces according to the best European practices for the conversion of waterfronts. With the construction of new public spaces and the conversion of existing public spaces, the Polis programme contributed to a greater connection of the city of Setúbal with the river Sado and concretized a vision of integration of the waterfront that was present in the 1931 plan.

Abstract
The port activities in the metropolitan zone of Vitoria (ES) results of the intensification processes of globalization and brazilian economic opening. This article approaches the process of interiorization of port activities, from the last two decades of the century 20th and over the 21st, with an empirical approach directed to the projection of RMGV. The interiorization of ports conducts to the phenomenon of regionalisation of the port activities, corresponding to the new cycle of extending ports, characterized by the spacial concentration of the logistic system linked to the port activities in the interior of metropolitan zone. This process, linked to the neoliberalized urbanization dynamics, is among the factors that modify the territorial and landscape settings. The ocupation of the port activities and the related services inside the cities, consolidated and in expansion, without the evaluation of the territorial characteristics - biophysics and sociocultural -, articulated by webs of rail/road infrastructure, reveals a several of impacts on the environment. It can be seen, besides the dispute of territory, the importance of (re)strengthening of the places and alternatives that impose against the hegemony of the actual economic standard and turn to the territorial planning related to the interests of the ordinary space.

Abstract
This article discusses the relationship between the contemporary city and its water front and the conflicts arising from this interaction, it being understood that any type of urban intervention should exploit existing socio-cultural dynamics and not necessarily guided in urban studies whose subject field is multidisciplinary. The goal is to understand the problem about urban interventions in disabled port areas located in city centers, called waterfronts projects, with emphasis on conflicts regarding the resident and the memory of each locality. The article discusses the port city from evolution models of the relationship between town and port; permeates issues of urban planning in the contemporary city, emphasizing the old port areas reconfigurations through urban interventions; It addresses the conflicts generated by these interventions, linking them to the process of museification of cities, tourism and the role of the resident; presents paradigmatic experiences of restructuring port areas internationally, exploring its limitations. It concludes that the revitalization projects conducted in Brazil have been multiplying and repeating the same model of patrimony, spectacle and standardization of space, resulting in gentrification.

Abstract
In the fire safety area is known the difficulty that any prescriptive legislation has in respond effectively when applied to the rehabilitation of buildings. This difficulty results from numerous difference situations that designers are faced, making it impossible an objective application of that legislation, therefore it is considered important that technicians can have tools to support the project that will allow them to find the best solutions for each building in concrete. In this paper we describe the general principles of a Fire Risk Analysis Model in Existing Buildings (MARIEE) based on performance, which is under development at LNEC since 2013. The model will allow technicians find the best solutions for each building, optimizing the binomial cost / security, within a maximum acceptable risk defined by the model, eliminating the subjectivity resulting from the application of current legislation and may thus contribute to expedite the the building permit.

Abstract
Over the years, building facades deteriorate due to chemical attacks and particulate pollutants deposition upon its surfaces. Such exposition impacts negatively on materials performance and degrades aesthetics properties of buildings (stains), causing a large impact on the building's repair efforts and maintenance costs. This article aims to evaluate staining reductions caused by cement mortars containing titanium dioxide (TiO2), which develops self-cleaning properties under solar radiation exposition. White cement mortars samples were prepared containing 0%, 5% or 10% TiO2, for performance comparison. Samples were soiled by a Rhodamine B aqueous solution, and then were exposed to the urban environment of Porto Alegre (Brazil) facing North or South orientations. Samples colors were monitored along the time as an indicative of stains degradation and self-cleaning effect. Results revealed a better performance for TiO2-containing mortars, especially for those facing North orientation.

Abstract
The discovery of one-part geopolymers is considered a key event on the evolution of geopolymer technology because emulates one of the most important properties of Portland cement, the just add water concept. This materials are not associated with the known problems of two part geopolymers, namely the use of caustic solutions that have poor workability and make the handling and application of geopolymers difficult and the fact that alkaline or soluble silicates are not consumed during geopolymerization leading to severe efflorescence phenomena. However, so far very few investigations were published on this field and some report low mechanical strength. This paper discloses results regarding the numerical modelling of one part-geopolymers compressive strength.

Abstract
This paper presents results of mechanical tests on the prototype of innovative structural strengthening in form of self-monitoring fabric. Smart textile employs carbon fibers conductivity for measuring strains while monitoring changes of electric resistance under increasing load. General solution was tested in series of calibrating tests on strengthening of small size concrete slabs. Promising results of simple specimen encouraged researching team to performed next tests with use of mastered carbon fibre reinforced fabric. Main tests were performed on natural scale RC beam. Smart textile proved its efficiency in both: strengthening and monitoring of strains during load increase. New strengthening proposal given 10% increase of loading capacity and the readings of strain changes were similar to those obtained in classical methods. In order of calibration of the prototype and define limits of the range of usability of this solution, textile sensor was tested in areas of large deformations (timber beam) and very small strains (bridge bearing block). In both cases prototype demonstrated excellent performance, in the range important for structural engineering. Paper presents also example of use of the smart strengthening in situ, in real life conditions.

Abstract
The self-cleaning ability of photocatalytic cement-based materials has the potential to preserve the esthetic appearance of building facades over time thus reducing cleaning costs. In the present work , the joint effect of several factors on the mechanical strength and self-cleaning ability of photocatalytic mortars was studied. For this purpose, four different mortar mixes containing two binder/sand ratios (1:3 and 1:4) were analyzed. Two mixes containing only Portland cement and the other two possessing 50% Portland cement and 50% aerial lime. For each mix, four different compositions were manufactured, each one with a different titanium dioxide-TiO2 content (0%, 2%, 4% and 6%). The results show that w/b increases with TiO2 which, in turn, leads to lower mechanical strength. Results also show that the mixes with 2% TiO2 had the highest self-cleaning effect.

Abstract
The proposal of this paper is to indicate the general condition of the poles installed in the city of Rio de Janeiro, through visual analysis, indicating some aspects concerning to its durability. The most common poles are those made in variable circular section. Poles are urban equipments of large dimensions and its major function is to allow the distribution of electrical power through aerial lines, support traffic signs, telephone and logical nets, among other proposals. Therefore, given its importance and dissemination among the urban environment, the correct function and safety of it to the passers-by is fundamental. There were researched five neighborhoods among north and south regions: Copacabana, Glória, Tijuca, São Cristóvão and Vila Isabel. There was covered 3576m of those neighborhoods and checked 119 poles among the course. From the analyzed poles, 96 presented some kind of pathology, meaning, 80,67% of them presented one or more pathologies, many of them critical based on the criteria presented in the valid Brazil's standards. The proposal of this paper is to present the current situation of the cylindrical concrete poles in the city of Rio de Janeiro, evaluate and relate some of its pathologies.

Abstract
The block that occupies the former San Agustín convent of Seville there coincides with the current block delimited by San Agustín's square and the streets Fray Alonso, Amador de los Ríos and Luis Montoto. The original limits of the perimeter of the convent, which were including a wide zone of gardens, gardens and other dependences, were reaching very approximately up to the existing blocks between Carmen Benítez's square and streets Fray Alonso, Recaredo and Amador de los Ríos. Founded in 1292 outside the walls, close to Carmona's door, water entry and very crowded way out of the city. First of three agustinian foundations of males of the city: San Agustín, San Acasio and the Pópulo. The different phases of its construction, since it is habitual in this buildings, are tied to the patronage, mainly of the Sevillian nobility. The building, listed in 1964 as a Historical Artistic Monument and nowadays Heritage of Cultural Interest, is reduced enough, if we think what was its original condition. This study, as a historical-architectural research, therefore seeks knowledge and valuation of this cultural property, so this contribution will collaborate to making project decisions wit the prospect of a future intervention.

Abstract
At the beginning of the 19th century the city of Jerez was the second one of the kingdom of Sevilla with a largest number of monasteries. In the first decades of the century the disentailment of the church's good would coincide with the beginning of the great exporting period of the famous sherry wines. After 1835 the totality of the masculine monasteries were secularized and put up for sale total or partially. The commercial bourgeoisie would take part in the purchase of disentailed goods, some of the suppressed monasteries were also purchased. Several of these buildings would reuse automatically as wineries, in other cases new winery buildings would be built on the gardens or the sites. The constructive characterization of the monacal buildings allowed the climatic conditions required by the sherry wine-making process. Important adaptation works were not necessary. The winery reutilization allowed the permanency in the urban structure of some of the big monacal blockes and it had an impact on the spatial and organizational design of the wine-producing complexes.

Abstract
The entry into force of the new thermal regulation [RCCTE (2006) and REH (2013)] led to a significant increase in the use of lightweight materials for thermal insulation of the building envelope. Knowledge of the physical and hygrothermal properties of the insulation materials is critical (eg .: permeability to water vapor, hydrophilic character, dimensional stability) for a correct selection of the applied function. It is important to have, in the design phase, an instrument defining the requirements of insulation materials for the solutions adopted.In the current construction industrialization and the diversity of materials and construction systems requires a selection of the form of solutions that guarantee a certain performance and evidence the ability of systems to meet a set of requirements defined in standards, regulations and technical specifications. The exigencial selection of building materials, and in the case of thermal insulation, allows the compatibility of multiple demands.

Abstract
The indoor environmental quality significantly depends on the parameters and evaluation criteria (eg.: temperature, relative humidity and pollutants) as well as the design and operation of the building (including systems) and the behavior of individuals. On the other hand, the internal environment affects, in particular, health, comfort and productivity of the occupants. Recent scientific studies are consensual that environmental conditions inside the classrooms influence also the attitude and performance of students. Also the indoor environmental quality in elderly care centers have the potential to influence the lives of the users, physically and psychologically. This article presents the results of measurements, particularly of indoor pollutants (carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and total VOCs), and hygrothermal comfort conditions in a elderly care centers and two kindergartens located in the city of Covilhã in Portugal.

Abstract
The world population growth, its relationship with energy demand and the recent economic crisis have made energy efficiency a current issue with great importance. Especially in the building sector it has become imperious to take concrete measures in order to reduce energy consumption, since the sector is responsible in 41% of the final energy consumed in the EU. In that way, the EU has been legislating to meet the targets set for 2020. The publication of Directive No. 2010/31 / EU was a major effort to that goal, which is dedicated to the energy performance of buildings. This Directive was transposed to the Portuguese law with the publication of Decree-Law No. 118/2013 which implemented a method for building energy certification, SCE, composed by two major regulations, REH and RECS, for residential and commercial buildings, respectively. In this study an analysis was made to an office building, Municipal Library of Mangualde, with the aim to propose measures that can contribute to reducing the building energy bills. To do that, data was collected concerning the constructive characteristics of the building, its energy consumption equipment and the corresponding usage profile. After analysis of the collected information, changing possibilities were identified which could have impact on energy consumption. There were then proposed changing measures such as the replacement of the glazing, application of external thermal insulation, replacement of lighting equipment, installation of a solar thermal system for hot water and replacing the existing propane gas boiler by a pellets one. It has been estimated the cost of implementing those measures and, whenever possible, evaluated the gains from their application.

Abstract
The European energy dependence, the recent climate changes, the harmful effects to the public health and to the environment caused by the consumption of fossil fuels, and the euro zone crisis are concern factors that refer us to the need to change the European energetic scene. Since buildings represent 40% of the total energy consumption in the European Union, it is vital to increase buildings energy efficiency. As a consequence, there has been approved the Directive 2010/31/EU, which rules the energetic performance in european buildings, as well as it's transposition to the Portuguese Law, the Decree-Law no. 118/2013, containing the Energetic Performance Regulation for Buildings and the Energetic Certification System for Buildings. Among the european community, public buildings are pointed as the ones which may serve as an example, therefore in this paper presents a case study referring to an indoor public swimming pool. There has been made an equipment survey, as well as an energy consumption survey, both referring to the studied building. In the end part of this paper, we propose measures to decrease the energy consumption of the studied building and we present a study of the amortization capacity of the investment needed.

Abstract
In recent years, in Portugal, there has been a large increase in the price of electricity. This had a direct effect on the living cost of Portuguese families, since electricity is the type of energy most used in the domestic sector, representing about 38.1% of the total energy consumed in the sector. The recently published legislation on self-consumption and the end of the feed-in tariffs are some of the reasons that made the domestic self-consumption a current theme. It is expected that self-consumption contribute significantly to a better use of the photovoltaic sector in Portugal. In this work it was evaluated the application of production units to self-consumption (UPAC) photovoltaic applied to a practical case. For the housing under study were analyzed six production units with different characteristics. For each of these units were calculated the energy produced, the self-consumed energy and profitability of its implementation. In order to get the most out of the energy produced, and reduce the energy waste, it were also presented some measures that enhance the use of UPACs in domestic sector.

Abstract
The present work intend to contribute to the knowledge of the problems in Civil Engineering structures (walls, buildings, roads, streets, among others) in the Covilhã city, whose origin is associated with geotechnical elements. Six main sectors were identified: Zone of Penedos Altos (Special attention for Municipal Swimming Pool and Gymnasium); Surrounding area at kindergarten and Municipal Library; Surrounding area at Santo Antonio Home (Largo Eduardo Malta); Building area adjacent to the streets José Ramalho and Garden Goldra; Zone Rua da Saudade; and surrounding area to the Faculty of Engineering (UBI). Geotechnical factors that are associated with the most common problems are related with the instability global of slopes to involve not only the massif, but also walls and buildings due to deficient geotechnical characteristics associated with significant inclines and where the geometry of the slopes was changed with the introduction of walls and poorly compacted embankments and sometimes with debris and even waste. The cases that deserve more attention are the Penedos Altos zone, Municipal Library and the Faculty of Engineering area; they are the ones who manifest more disease and more severe and in the understanding of the authors there is need for intervention with some celerity.

Abstract
This work aims to contribute to assess the structural vulnerability of traditional old Portuguese railways steel bridges by applying the theory of structural vulnerability. In this context, the bridge across river Corgo was chosen as a case study of a traditional bridge of this type. Initially, a geometric and dimensional analysis of the structure was performed, then its state of conservation was evaluated in a simplified way, the numerical simulation of its structural behaviour in case of static load was carried out and the theory of structural vulnerability was applied. It was concluded that this type of traditional steel structures present a good state of conservation and can be robust given the geometry and the interconnection between the different structural elements.

Abstract
Tabique is one of the main Portuguese traditional building techniques which use raw materials as stone, earth and wood. In general, a tabique building component as a wall consist of a wooden structure made up of vertical boards connected to laths by metal nails and covered on both sides by an earth based material. This traditional building technology as an expressive incidence in the Alto Douro Wine Region located in the interior of Northern Portugal, added to the UNESCO's Word Heritage Sites List in December 2001. Furthermore, previous research works have shown that the existing tabique construction, in this region, reveals a certain lack of maintenance partially justified by the knowledge loosed on that technique, consequently this construction technique present an advanced stage of deterioration. This aspect associated to the fact that there is still a lack of scientific studies in this field motivated the writing of this paper, which its main objectives are to identify and characterize the nails used in the timber connections. The nails samples were collected from tabique walls included in tabique buildings located in Lamego Municipality, near Douro River, in the Alto Douro Wine Region. This work intends also to give guidelines to the rehabilitation and preservation of this important legacy.

Abstract
The expansion and widespread presence of the European High-Speed Rail (HSR) network in those countries that are part of it make it a benchmark when studying means of transport. Nevertheless, there are great inequalities between the different countries, which obviously show different results regarding solvency, both from a technical and financial point of view. This paper focuses on the transformations performed upon implementing HSR in the station's building, it being conceived as an access point between the network and the city and as a great opportunity to guarantee the network's sustainability. This way and based on the comparison between two medium-sized cities in Germany (Fulda and Ulm) and Spain (Toledo and Lleida), an approach to two very different ways to conceive its function can be established. Despite the historical and geographical conditions, they can be considered engines of urban development and stimulators of rail traffic to a greater or lesser extent.

Abstract
It is estimated that the current consumption of concrete in the world is of the order of 11 billion metric tons per year (MEHTA & MONTEIRO, 2008). Given this information, it is understandable how broad is the area of research due to know ever better the properties and process improvements in the characteristics of this mixture. The use of mineral additions that have pozzolanic properties such as silica fume, fly ash, metakaolin and rice husk ash in partial replacement of cement, is an alternative to reduce costs (replace part of the cement mass), and may also promote improvements significant mechanical properties of mortar and concrete (Rezende et al., 2012). So there are various types of possible additions and to choose the best to be used differs for each specific application situation. This report aims to explain about high performance concrete, comparing two strokes of different concrete (with and without mineral addition) and analyze both concrete fresh, as well as the results from disruptions of the molded specimens for each concrete.

Abstract
The growing use of telecommunication technologies by society has led the industry to develop infrastructure to support this growth. The telecommunications outdoor cabinets are an important element in the telecommunications network, allowing host and protect the equipment needed to run the network in adverse conditions. The enclosure must have a proper thermal performance to ensure a temperature below 55º C, limit for the operation of equipment, and avoid an excessive consumption of electricity. This study aims to characterize the thermal performance of the cabinet using numerical studies with DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus. The development of the numerical model is followed by experimental studies using a real cabinet in operation, to ensure that the model is valid and allows to obtain reliable results. Results allowed to elaborate, quantitatively, a thermal characterization of the cabinet and improve the utilization profile.

Abstract
Outdoor cabinets that house telecommunication equipment are used to protect electronic equipment from the harsh environmental conditions. The number of outdoor cabinets used has been growing in recent decades, boosted by the world expansion of mobile telecommunications networks. The disposition of telecommunications equipment inside a cabinet (i.e., the thermal design) became a critical factor due to the miniaturization of electronic components and the increase of packing density. To mitigate this problem, energy-intensive cooling techniques (e.g., air conditioning) began to be used. Studies shown that approximately 25% of the total energy consumed in an outdoor cabinet is used for cooling. It is intended with this work, the thermal study of an outdoor cabinet using a CFD software to characterize its thermal behaviour, according to the influence of the environment temperature, the air flow through the cabinet and the heat dissipated in its interior by the telecommunications equipment. According the results obtained in this study it can be concluded that even for the less favourable case (TA=20.1 ºC; Qar=60 m3 h -1 e qdis=480 W), none of the telecommunications equipment inside the cabinet is under risk, since the Tmax,cabinet ≈ 40°C is lower than the Tmax,recommended ≈55°C.

Abstract
A new type of luminescent optical fibre sensor for structural health monitoring of composite laminates (CFRP) is proposed. The Nd3+ doped a multi-core double-clad fibre incorporated in composite structure was used as a distributed temperature sensor. The change of luminescence intensity (Nd3+ ions) at the wavelength of 880 nm (4F3/2 → 4I9/2) and 1060 nm (4F3/2 → 4I11/2) was used to internal temperature monitoring. The special construction of optical fibre is responsible by an efficient pumping mechanism and, at same time, it increases the measuring sensitivity. The linear response with relative sensitivity 0.015 [K-1] was obtained for temperature range from 30 up to 75 ºC. The manufacturing process of CFRP with embedded optical fibre sensor is also discussed.

Abstract
The integrity of the composite structures can be evaluated in real-time, with the respective economic advantages. For this propose, it is relatively easy to incorporate interferometric or piezoelectric sensors in FRP laminates. Optical sensors are a promising alternative because they are very thin, lightweight, highly sensitive in terms of optical response and insensitive to electromagnetic interference. In fact, several research works can be found about optical non-destructive test (NDT) because this technology promotes non-destructive imaging characteristics with high precision and sensitivity. Nevertheless, this technology involves a considerable investment and significant degradation should be obtained on mechanical properties as consequence of the defect induced. In order to development a simplified optical sensor, the main goal of this work is to analyse the use of a single optical fiber in FRP composites to monitoring the temperature. Experimental tests are performed, at three different temperature (~25, ~50 and ~75ºC), in order to analyse the behaviour of a signal transmitted through a single commercial optical fiber, by itself, and incorporate in FRP laminates (CFRP and GFRP).

Abstract
This work involves surface analysis by nuclear techniques, which are non-destructive, and computer simulation. The energy method of analysis is used for nuclear reactions and elastic scattering, as a particular and important case. Energy spectra are computer simulated and compared to experimental data, giving target composition and concentration profile information. The computations use, mainly, target parameterization and published nuclear data. The method is successfully applied to determination of 12C and 18O concentration profiles in thick targets by 12C(d, p0)13C and 18O(p, α0)15N reactions, respectively. Elastic scattering of (4He)+ ions is applied to depth profiling of Al and Ag and Au thin films.

Abstract
The term retrofit refers to the idea of returning to a previous state, through adaptations and adjustments. The retrofit and its construction techniques serve as a tool to meet the instance of combining technological innovation, sustainability and affordability in the revitalization of constructions already built, especially those that have a social and cultural role. When the building rehabilitation process is allied to the use of environmentally friendly technologies and materials, it can give the retrofit preservationists and environmental recovery qualities, which can greatly contribute to sustainability. This article fits this scenario of recovery of sustainable parameters and readjustment of buildings, whose goal is to present the first library case study to achieve LEED Gold level in Brazil, and only the second in Latin America, besides being one of the major works occurred between the years 2010 and 2014 in the city of Rio de Janeiro: the Biblioteca Parque Estadual.

Abstract
The city of Vitória as well as other Brazilian cities, has empty or underutilized buildings in the central area. The port area, the city's development birthplace and center of it, suffered the effects of decentralization of administrative and commercial functions performed in the past on that sole. The city spilled over through new urban development vectors. The port has adapted the transformation of the global production system. Thus, the urban center is still served infrastructure, services, equipment and area where there is demand for jobs and transportation, reasons from the current housing policy programs of the City of Vitória - Espírito Santo, stands out in the Living Center which It aims to reform and rehabilitation of buildings in this area. The program is based on the standards of the City Statute and has promoted the application of urban instruments for the production of social housing. The Live in the Center accounts for a hundred units delivered and all the same management experience. The three properties that have begun the process were the oldest hotels along the harbor that have been turned into housing. This article tells the story of the region and the capixaba experience in rehabilitation for social purposes.

Abstract
Saline fog is one of the main degradation causes of the built historical and recent heritage. The effect on natural stone is one of the main concerns of the producers and installers of these materials, whether caused by non-aesthetic aspects either by the economic implications that results in. In this study three Portuguese ornamental limestones currently commercialized and with great application in outdoor and indoor environments were used. The limestones commercial designations are Branco Valongo (BV), Gascoigne Beige (GB) and Moleanos (CRM). Samples with polished finishing were exposed to 60 cycles of salt spray. Mass variations were recorded before and after the test and the alterations in the surface were photographically recorded. The results compare the performance of these natural stones when subjected to the action of the salt mist.

Abstract
The objective of the present work was to develop an innovative food product with nutritional properties as well as appealing organoleptic qualities. For this a jam was prepared on a basis of pear or apple, to which was added the water from boiling beetroot, without the addition of any conservatives. Five different jams were produced: pear jam, pear with beetroot, apple, apple with beetroot and finally apple with beetroot and cinnamon. The preparation of the products involved several trials until the optimum recipe was found. The final products were then submitted to sensorial analysis that revealed the panelists preference for the jam with apple, beetroot and cinnamon. Additionally, some chemical components were evaluated to characterize the product in terms of fat, sugars and antioxidant activity, being this one of the most important, given the interest of utilizing the antioxidant properties of the beetroot to produce a jam enriched with antioxidants. The results obtained revealed that the apple jam with beetroot and cinnamon had a low sugar content and a high antioxidant activity, enhancing the potential health benefits associated with its consumption.

Abstract
The use of wheat and acorn flours in the production of breads was studied, in order to develop an innovative food product with good textural and sensorial characteristics. Flours and breads were characterized considering the functional, the physical-chemical and sensorial properties, respectively. The water absorptions were similar (57.5%-60.0%), achieving all the doughs the 500 BU, with a shorter dough development time for doughs whit acorn, and they also presented a high stability time (>30 minutes). The energy, the resistance to extension and the extensibility of doughs increased with the addition of acorn flour and with the proving time. The breads presented low moisture but a considerable water activity (0.93-0.97). The density of bread decreased with the introduction of acorn flour, which was also corroborated by sensorial and alveolar analysis (higher alveolar number and total area, with large alveolus). Acorn breads were darker, dimming along the storage. Acorn flours increased the hardness and decreased the cohesiveness of wheat breads, with no significant variation in elasticity. The global sensorial appreciation of breads had similar scores. The crust and crumb colour were more intense for acorn bread, presenting a low uniformity and little alveolus, and it was scratchier than 100% wheat breads.

Abstract
An experimental study is presented with a simple mathematical approach for processing the kinetics raw data collected during courgette drying experiments. The fresh green courgette samples were dried employing two different heat sources: hot air stream and infrared radiation. The hot air stream (1.13±0.03 m/s) used in the laboratory scale tray dryer at 45.06±0.24 ºC flows tangentially to the courgette surface accommodated in the tray. An infrared moisture analyzer was used to perform the other experiment at the same temperature of 45º C. The kinetics raw data acquired were fitted with two functions (linear and third degree polynomial) and the drying rate curve was obtained by differentiation after successive iterations until virtually continuous functions were achieved when drying rate period's transition occurs. The courgette drying kinetics behaviors of both processes were similar, although the constant drying rate period was not clearly evident in the infrared experiment. The effective moisture diffusivity was also obtained from data collected during the falling rate period for both drying experiments: 1.22×10-9 and 1.18×10-9 m2/s, respectively to the hot air and infrared experiment. These results are in accordance with the values presented in the bibliography for vegetables and fruits.

Abstract
The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of different production and conservation factors on the properties of blueberries. The production factors considered were cultivar (Duke, Bluecrop, Ozarkblue) and production mode (organic or conventional). The conservation factors were temperature (ambient, refrigeration) and time (0, 7, 14 days). The properties under study were: physical properties (color and texture); some chemical components (moisture content, sugars and acidity) and phenolic and antioxidant properties (total phenols, anthocyanins, tannins, ABTS antioxidant activity, DPPH antioxidant activity). This work showed that moisture content was only influenced by cultivar and that both acidity and sugar contents varied according to the production mode used. The results evidenced that the antioxidant activity was not statistically different according to cultivar, production mode or conservation. As to the phenolics, only tannins showed significant differences according to production mode, being higher for organic farming. Color parameters showed some significant differences, so that the most intense blue corresponded to blueberries from cv. Duke, form organic farming and stored under refrigeration. Texture was also very significantly influenced by the three factors at study, cultivar, production mode and conservation, being the berries with higher firmness those from cultivar Duke and stored under refrigeration.

Abstract
The present work's goal was to evaluate the effect of different production and conservation conditions, as well as extraction procedures on the phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of blueberries from cultivar Bluecrop. The production factors considered were origin, altitude of the farm location and age of the bushes, and the conservation was under freezing as opposed to the fresh product. The extraction procedures included two different solvents and different orders of the extraction. Data analysis was performed by training artificial neural networks to model the data and extract information from the model. The results showed that the type of extract and the order of extraction influence the concentrations of phenolic compounds as well as the antioxidant activity of the different samples studied. As to the origin of the farms from where the blueberries were collected, it was found to significantly influence these properties, so that the blueberries from Oliveira do Hospital showed less phenolic compounds and lower antioxidant activity. Older bushes at higher altitudes seem to produce richer berries. Regarding conservation, no influence was observed for phenols but a slight influence could be detected for antioxidant activity.

Abstract
The original meaning of the word gourmet, of French descent, designated the good lovers and wine connoisseurs. Currently it is part of any vocabulary and its scope was extended to all table pleasures, always from the perspective of authenticity and quality. This work aims to analyze the application of time-temperature indicators (TTI), which are usually used for food safety analysis, in a perspective of food quality supporting the gourmet products tasting. The aim of this work is to verify the applicability of these devices in this type of added value products, characterized by their higher quality, with flavours and aromas that awaken the senses when consumed at the proper temperature. TTI's are proposed for different types or classes of wines, distinguishing them with appropriate colours, with a temperature range more precise and also specific for certain wines. It is also analyzed to determine its applicability to the suitable level of maturation of meat. The application of this technology can be advantageous to extract the best taste in the consumption of gourmet products, to strengthening brands and to increase the added value of such products.

Abstract
This study evaluates the cold conditions to which workers are subject in the agroindustrial sector evaluating both cases, a food distribution company and a dairy company. In order to evaluate the thermal comfort conditions of the workers the procedures referred on international standards were followed. It was conducted surveys and carried out experimental measurements in order to characterize the zones and the conditions under which workers operate, and to evaluate the activity levels of each worker. The work allowed to identify the type of exposure to which each worker is subject and to determine the thermal comfort characteristic indexes, including the IREQ index. The results show that in some situations workers have adequate thermal insulation conditions but still manifest sensations related to the thermal discomfort. On the other hand, it has been found that some workers although with insufficient clothing insulation level exhibit neutral thermal sensations. It is therefore concluded that workers have a tendency to an effective acclimation to cold environments that do not appear in the corresponding standards.

Abstract
This review describes the different concepts that have been developed and investigated concerning the mechanization of fruit thinning, as well as the obtained results. Some references to equipment related to blossom thinning are provided, due to the shared properties of the two processes. Manual fruit thinning is still the most frequently used thinning method, and also the one that attains the best results due to the high level of selectivity that it enables to achieve, although it is very expensive and time-consuming. Solutions that require large equipment are the most commonly researched. Only one study analysed the viability of hand-held fruit thinning devices. None of the equipment hereby analyzed presented solid positive economical results, although they could reduce the fruit load and enabled the growers to act on a smaller time period. It was noticed that all the devices based themselves upon one of two concepts: rotating shaft with stems; shaker. This revision intends to contribute for the analysis of the technological and economical viability of hand-held fruit thinning devices, as well as to support the development of this type of systems.

Abstract
In this paper in order to determine the level of a lean organization a model based on fuzzy logic has been developed. The developed model has been based on a qualitative assessment approach, including quantitative bases, whose development was supported by the use of fuzzy logic. Recourse to the use of fuzzy logic is justified by its ability to cope with uncertainty and imprecision of the input data, as well as, could be applied to the analysis of qualitative variables of a system, turning them into quantitative values. A major advantage of the developed model is that it can be adjusted to any organization regardless of their nature, size, strategy and market positioning. Furthermore, the proposed model allows the identification systematically of constraint factors existing in the organization and thus provide the necessary information for the management to develop a holistic plan for continuous improvement. To assess the robustness of the approach proposed in this paper, the model was applied to a maintenance and manufacturing aeronautical organization, being presented the corresponding results and made a critical analysis of them.

Abstract
To assess the performance of physical assets management and in particular their maintenance activities it is fundamental to have metrics or reliable information about some related key performance indicators of that function. Usually it is achieved through a maintenance audit, comparing the performance of the department or service with a model and determining the gaps between the two situations. This audit may be developed by an external organization, but it is also possible to prepare it with internal resources and can cover all the activities under the scope of the maintenance department or only some of them. The objective of this paper is to propose a method to assess the performance of the condition monitoring service, once it is a very common method in the industrial field, gaining a huge importance in the last two decades. With this specific audit it was possible to determine the efficiency level of this service and identify the gaps regarding the maximum achievable efficiency. It is also presented a real case study where the methodology was applied, being visible the results and actions proposed to improve the Overall Service Efficiency (OSE) in an international company.

Abstract
The gearboxes are extremely important equipment in the kinematic chain where they belong, either by their function in the production process, either by their book value. This fact motivated the development and design of a physical lab ring implemented in laboratory context, which allows the simulation of the most common defects in gearboxes, and concurrently a didactic practical approach for teaching purposes, integrated with the possibility of fault detection and isolation of the major failure modes through vibration analysis. As described in this paper, using the lab ring can not only simulate, isolate and identify the most failure modes in gearboxes, but also study some of their possible combinations - (wear on the teeth, slack (backlash) in the teeth, cracked teeth, broken or chipped, misaligned gears, backlash gears, eccentric gears and gears mounted on shafts warped).

Abstract
This paper presents a comparative study of several calculation methodologies of internally braced slurry walls. The slurry wall process results in the construction of a concrete wall perimeter that sets the stage for the excavation of the underground floors of a building structure. Although the analysis of slurry walls can be carried out with a simplified calculation procedure, there are different approaches to estimate forces and pressures on the wall that influence the design of the structure. Besides, the construction sequence in the case of braced systems hinders the structural analysis of the wall. Thus, in this paper it is intended to study the construction sequence of an internally baced system in order to analyse the influence of the calculation method in the design process of a slurry wall.

Abstract
The importance of wind energy in the context of environmental policies related to the production of electricity has been growing in recent years. Wind turbine manufacturers publish and certify power curves for their turbines. Power curves are used for planning purposes and estimating total wind power production. Wind turbine manufacturers provide measured power curves for turbines based on industry standard IEC 61400-12-1. In order to understand the variability presented in the temporal distributions of the difference between the theoretical and the real data, a case study from a Portuguese wind farm is presented. The paper has two contributions in the study of active power from wind turbines: (1) the integration of the observed data with the manufacturer's reference data (power coefficient, gearbox efficiency and generator performance) to interpolate the power coefficient, gearbox efficiency and generator efficiency; (2) statistical analysis of the daily and annual distribution of positive and negative differences through circular methods.

Abstract
Geothermal heat pumps are broadly used in developed countries but scarcely in Brazil, in part because there is a lack of Brazilian soil temperature data. The aims of this work are: to show soil temperature measurements and to compare geothermal heat pumps system performance with conventional air conditioning systems. Geothermal temperature measurement results are shown for ten Paraná State cities, representing different soil and climate conditions. The measurements were made yearlong with calibrated equipment and digital data acquisition system in different measuring stations. Geothermal and ambient temperature data were used for coefficient of performance (COP) simulation, by means of working fluid pressure-enthalpy diagram based software for vapor-compression cycle. It was verified that geothermal temperature measured between Jan/13 to Oct/13 varied from 16 to 24 ºC, while ambient temperature has varied between 2 and 35 ºC. Average COP values for conventional system were 3.7 (cooling) and 5.0 kW/kW (heating), corresponding to 5.9 and 7.9 kW/kW for geothermal system. Hence it was verified an average efficiency gain of 59% with geothermal system utilization in comparison with conventional system.

Abstract
In this paper the Tesla turbine is described and the history and motivation of such device are briefly described. An analysis of the performance and efficiency of the disc turbine is carried out. This unconventional type of turbomachinery formed of a series of thin, smooth, flat, parallel, co-rotating discs, closely spaced and attached to a shaft have been designed and manufactured, and experimental results are presented. The results indicate that this turbine has superior operating parameters for reduced power production applications when compared to conventional turbines. This indicates that multiple disks turbine could be attractive for low power applications or where first costs are a prime factor or when the properties of the working fluid are inadequate for conventional turbine.

Abstract
The present article describes the experimental evaluation of rendering mortars with the incorporation of artificial and recycled lightweight aggregates. Artificial aggregates of expanded clay (LS) and aggregates from recycling, namely, natural cork (COR), expanded cork (CEX) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) were used. A typical rendering mortar with Portland cement, hydrated lime and natural aggregates in the proportion of 1:1:5 in dry bulk volume was produced to be used as a reference. To evaluate the influence of the lightweight aggregates in the mortar properties, sixteen mixtures were produced with the same proportion in dry bulk volume of 1:1:5, but replacing the fraction of the natural aggregates by each of the lightweight aggregates (LS, COR, CEX and EPS) with the percentages of replacement of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Dosages of water and superplasticizer were adjusted so that all mortars presented the same consistency in terms of flow table spread, between 160 and 180 mm. The physical and mechanical properties of the mortars were evaluated. The results confirmed the feasibility of using lightweight aggregates as an alternative or complement to natural aggregates. In general, the mortars have shown a good performance in the standpoint of physical and mechanical properties.

Abstract
Physalis (Physalis Peruviana L), also known as Cape Gooseberry or Ground-cherry, plays an important role in nutrition being an excellent base for dietetic products. Highly valued for its unique flavor, texture and color, recent research has shown that physalis is rich in many beneficial compounds. In this study were evaluated some biometric characteristics of physalis, such as the diameter and mass, and which allowed calculating others, like: surface area, volume or density. Other physical properties were also evaluated, namely the color coordinates, by means of a Chroma metter, and textural parameters evaluated by a texturometer: firmness and elasticity. The physalis analyzed in the present work have an average diameter of 1.69 cm, a surface area of 8.98 cm2, a volume of 2.51 cm3, a mass of 2.77 g and a density of 1.10 g/cm3. The color coordinates were found to be 56.72 for lightness, 16.69 for redness and 58.11 for yellowness. Regarding texture, two attributes were evaluated, namely skin firmness and elasticity, and the average values found were 2.40 N and 2.94 mm, respectively. The results of this work are in accordance with data from literature reported by other authors.

Abstract
In this study was evaluated the effect of production mode (organic versus conventional) on some physical-chemical properties of three blueberry cultivars (Duke, Bluecrop, Ozarkblue). The properties evaluated were caliber, moisture content, total soluble solids, acidity, color and texture. The effect of storage on these properties was also evaluated. For this, samples were analyzed at harvest and after 7 and 14 days of storage. This work showed that Duke blueberries had a higher diameter and a more intense coloration. It was also found that the Duke blueberries presented a harder and more elastic texture, when compared with the other cultivars at study.Cultivar Ozarkblue from conventional production mode showed at harvest the higher sugar content and for cv. Ozarkblue a trend for decreasing acidity along storage time, was further noticed. In respect to the production mode it was detected that the blueberries produced in organic farming were less acid and less sweet, but had a more intense blue color and were less elastic when compared with blueberries produced in conventional mode. The blueberry storage temperature (cold or at room temperature) did not meaningfully influence the chemical properties of blueberry, but influenced the physical properties, namely colour and texture.

Abstract
This study evaluated the biometric characteristics (diameter, mass), the chemical properties (moisture content, fiber, total and reducing sugars, total soluble solids, total acidity), and some physical properties (color, texture). The results obtained showed that the Corema album berries had an average diameter of 8.63 ± 0.84 mm, and a mass of 0.66 ± 0.11 g. Regarding the chemical analysis, the results obtained show an average moisture content of 87.89 ± 4.01 % (fresh weight) and a fiber content of 36.52 ± 1.96 % (dry matter). The percentage of total and reducing sugars was 62.80 ± 0.77 % and 41.24 ± 1.74 % (dry matter), respectively. The result also showed Brix of 6.20 ± 0.03 and a total acidity of 10.7 ± 0.1 % (Citric Acid). This study allowed concluding that the berries Corema album at study showed parameters of diameter and mass higher than those reported in the bibliography. It was also possible to conclude through the chemical analyzes performed that these berries are a very rich source of water, fibers and total sugars. Finally , these results confirm that Corema album berries have multiple physical-chemical properties that may be of high interest to the market of commercial berries.

Abstract
The life cycle of peach orchards is about 10 to 12 years, implying a constant renewal of the orchards by peach growers. In the first year after plantation the major problem is soil management because of strong weeds development using mechanical, manual or chemical methods or soil mulching. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the impact of Ecoblanket, a textile film produced by a local company based on waste fabric textile, on the soil temperature, soil humidity and soil salinity to a depth of 5 cm. The main results put in evidence that the average temperature is similar between in the two modalities (with and without Ecoblanket). However, the difference between daily maximum and minimum temperature, in July, was an average of 10º C for control modality, while was of 4ºC e 5º C, from May to August, in Ecoblanket modality. As regards to soil water content there are significant differences between the two modalities and Ecoblanket has a positive effect allowing a greater availability of this element to the plants. The soil water content parameter showed a difference of almost 0,1 m3/m3 between the two modalities, Soil salinity parameter showed low values, near to zero, without significant differences between modalities.

Abstract
The trend of consumers by consumption of fresh fruits has increased by organoleptic quality and quantity of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which possess. However, they are highly perishable, and suffer great physical, chemical and biological changes at the ambient temperature, hampering thereby their properties and life span. To minimize this problem, the fresh fruits are kept at low temperatures from the producer to the final consumer, through the use of cooling systems, which have huge costs in the consumption of electricity. The reduction of energy consumption within the cold chain and particularly in fruit conservation units through the implementation of energy efficiency measures is essential and crucial to increasing farmers' income and to strengthen the competitiveness of the industrial establishments. In this article, we present the results of a study on the energy performance of fruit conservation units in the Beira Interior Region. In this evaluation we show, the fruit unit characteristics, infrastructures, chambers and cooling systems, energy consumption, specific indicators of energy consumption and energy saving potential with the application of energy efficiency measures.

Abstract
The high levels of food waste are current concerns of society and governments nowadays. The largest share of food waste occurs in households and more than 50% of this waste could be avoided. The factors that lead to food waste may result from mismanagement of the food stored in the refrigerators or even the misuse of the equipment. This study comprises the analysis of the results of two surveys on the use of the refrigerator and food waste applied to the student community of the University of Beira Interior. The sample consisted of 51 elements. It is found that the behaviour of the students in the use of the equipment is not the most adequate, although they try to avoid food waste. The most important conclusion is the lack of information on food waste and the methods and procedures for mitigation. Thus, the survey results highlight the need for information, enlightenment and awareness about these topics.

Abstract
Fresh cherry is a product greatly appreciated by consumers due to its excellent organoleptic and nutritional characteristics. This product is highly perishable and has a very short seasonal productive period. Some amount of fruit loses its commercial value when it exceeds its ripeness. One way to enhance this product and producers' incomes is to carry out its dehydration to obtain raisins cherry, with advantages of stability, nutritional value and marketing. Among the various methods currently possible to perform the drying is desirable to use those who get great dehydrated products and low operating costs, notably energy. In the present study we have performed a comparative evaluation of cherry drying processes in the Beira Interior region using the lyophilization method, hot air drying and sun drying. Despite some limitations, solar dryer performed well to obtain cherry raisins with great aw characteristics, color, taste, visual appearance, for drying cherries with pretreatments and does not involve the energy costs and may be preferred in relation to the other two methods. The other processes had the great disadvantage of the high energy consumption.

Abstract
In laboratory there is a growing concern with getting reliable results that properly support the health professionals in the diagnosis, treatment and pathologies control. In order to harmonize results, the data External Quality Assessment of Cortisol was analyzed to detect problems and causes of interlaboratory variability (inaccuracy) in the measurement of the same batch of sample. The Six Sigma was used as a methodology and metric. As methodology, it was used the implementation of the DMAIC cycle, supported by technical and quality tools. The level of laboratory performance calculated in the Measure phase was 2,82 Sigma. The ideal sigma level should be 6, corresponding to 3,4 results out of the defined quality specification, in a million results. Analyzing the most likely causes of the problem in the Analyze phase, and selecting and implementing improvement actions (related to the handling of the control sample) in the Improve phase, it was found that these were appropriate because they reach the heart of the problem, increasing the sigma level (to 3,6). The goal determined in the phase Define was achieved (3,5 Sigma), however, it must be ensured that improvements continue to be a reality (Phase Control).

Abstract
Some production systems control many quality characteristics with a restricted amount of data, not allowing a convenient estimation of the process parameters (mean and variance), thereby creating a difficulty in implementing the traditional Statistical Process Control (SPC). In order to address this question, the approach suggested is to adopt the developments proposed by by Charles Quesenberry, which consists in the statistics sample transformation at time i. This transformation is based on parameter estimation at time (i - 1). This paper addresses two situations, the univariate and multivariate SPC, with the use of Q dimensionless statistics. Both univariate (Q) and multivariate (MQ) statistics are distributed according to standard Normal distribution. It is also suggested the application of new capability indices QL and QU to study the univariate process capability, which are represented in the mean Q control chart to evaluate in real time the performance of the various processes and predict the possibility of production of nonconforming product, which will increase customer satisfaction. The methodology is applicable to different production systems, both for industry and services. Based on a methodology developed, a case study is presented and discussed.

Abstract
Frequently, the innovation processes require knowledge in several domains that enterprises do not usually hold. In order to address this problem, the issue of the knowledge transfer in collaborative environments started to attract attention. In this context, the present paper aims at discussing the advantages of applying a system thinking approach in order to deepen the understanding of the factors that leverage or constrain knowledge transfer to support co-innovation, and its impact at a member level, for instance, in terms of the capacity of generating new ideas, processes and products. Finally, based on experimental results from a Portuguese collaborative network, BRISA network, a discussion on the benefits, challenges and difficulties found are presented and discussed.

Abstract
The optimum design, associated to low cost high quality and quick delivery are imperative for competitive companies. These targets lead to the development of new project methodologies that focus on the customer's needs. Today's organizations need to deal with dynamic and competitive environments. In order to be successful, companies must be strategically aware. They must understand how changes in their environment are unfolding and they should know the customers' importance. The integration of various tools on project development is a new key way to improve quality and increase profit. Thus, the goal of this project was to develop a project methodology that could integrate various project methods and at the same time could improve the performance of the steering angle sensor, reducing its cost and improving its quality regarding its production process. It can be said that the improvement of the component in respect of the reduction of the noise emitted allows an increase in the quality of it and consequently an increase in customer satisfaction. But the most important challenge was this improvement has happened in the product development phase. Thus, in the product development phase, it was possible to reduce the waste with the lean tools during production as the movement, inventory, shipping and defects consumption materials and energy, and this way it is possible do more with less. Thus, it was found that by integrating design tools such as TRIZ and QFD, in the product development phase, are developed concepts geared to the needs of customers at the same time that reduce waste that do not add value to the product.

Abstract
The present work aims at addressing aspects related to the improvement of soils with lime, looking into the possibility of using soils apparently clayey existing in the city of Castelo Branco, in order to be able to be used in the construction of road pavements infrastructures, in particular capping layer. On completion of the study are discussed recommendations and Portuguese specifications parameters, in a context of road works. The work involved an extensive laboratory characterization, understanding the physical and mechanical characterization of soils in their natural state and after adding 4% and 5% of hydraulic lime. Physical characterization of soils sought to assess the changes that occur after the addition of cal, particularly in the behaviour of thin fraction with regard to their shaliness and sensitivity to water. For the purpose of evaluating the soil-lime mixture it was done its mechanical characterization through immediate CBR and CBR tests, analyzing their evolution on the basis of the quantity of lime added. Finally we proceeded to check the parameters of the Portuguese specifications in order to determine the suitability of the soil for this type of upgrade.

Abstract
The diffusion of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), intensified in the last decade of the last century, has provided a significant step in the development of geotechnical cartography, especially in urban areas, by means of the use of geographical databases, new analysis tools and more recently free open source software. The purpose of this work is to create a viable geographic information base for the preparation of geotechnical mapping through a free GIS computer program and open source, with non-traditional cartographic sources, giving preference to open platforms. QGIS was used as software and Google Maps, Bing Maps and OpenStreetMap were applied as cartographic sources through the use of the module “OpenLayers plugin”. This model consists of a mapping input constituted by the geological map of the area that is being studied and existing free web mapping archives. Various graphical outputs were obtained, including the intersection of topography (roads, borders, ...) with the geological map and the area bordering the city of Guarda Urban Zone.

Abstract
The “Grupo Galaico de Arte Rupestre” site, located in the NW Iberian Peninsula, is characterized by its rock art with a high interest for archaeologists and conservators. The application of chalk has been one of the most common techniques used to mark the rock engravings or petroglyphs for a subsequent tracing. Scientific works about the interaction between chalk and rock in order to determine the deteriorating effect of the chalk are almost absent. Therefore, the aim of this work was to study the possible damages caused by the use of this material in the granite, because most of the petroglyphs on NW Iberian Peninsula are on this type of rock. Specifically, the physical influence on the petroglyph´s surface and the chemical interaction with the rock were evaluated in this study. For this, the evaluation of the changes in chalk-marked granite under different conditions, i.e. humidity and temperature variations and thermal shocks caused by insolation or forest fires, was performed. Besides, the behaviour of the chalk when it was mixed with the most common cleaning products used in the field of Cultural Heritage Conservation was evaluated. The evaluations have been undertaken with conventional analytical techniques, i.e. pH and the conductivity measurements, the optical and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and measurements of the colour coordinates in CIELAB space. In general terms, the chalk penetration through the fissures of the granite depends on its chemical composition. Although no chalk penetration into the rock had been detected, the global colour changes determined that chalk had a permanent influence on the colour property of the granite. These results led to not recommend chalk as a marking technique in petroglyphs.

Abstract
Based on extensive visual observation and testing of marble masonry units that have been in service on the exterior of the historic Minnesota State Capitol for 110 years, a field-discernible correlation was identified between the mineralogical composition of Georgia marble and unit weathering performance. This paper describes the mechanisms and extents of marble deterioration observed at the capitol, comparing patterns of deterioration for four identified variations of marble types. Field and laboratory testing results are also presented that illustrate which characteristics of grain size and texture, and basic chemistry of marble proved to be more resistant to deterioration over time. Insights into the relationship between marble mineralogy and durability, as influenced by climate can be used to inform the selection of replacement marble for repairs with intended long-term service life.

Abstract
The Mobile Ultrasonic Hydrostatic Levelling System – HLS project, conducted in the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire – CERN, consists in the development and operational testing of an innovative integrated instrumentation system to allow the measuring of the height differences between the superconducting magnets of the Large Hadron Collider – LHC during the Long Shutdown 1 - LS1, a parameter deemed critical in various aspects, from structural analysis of the 27km tunnel to the alignment of the Proton Beam in the Accelerators. Unlike conventional HLS systems which employ a static deployment strategy, this system is designed to possess a mobility level that allows a much faster measurement campaign in the challenging environment of the LHC tunnels, while maintaining a target precision level of a minimum of 50µm, reducing operation time and allocated resources.

Abstract
This paper presents an alternative proposal to the materials traditionally used in the manufacture of coal mills coating wedges. For this purpose, two new austenitic steels with medium manganese content have been designed. After different heat treatments, thermal structural stability and hardness were evaluated. Both steels were subjected to hyperquenching and annealing between 100 and 900 º C. Then, a metallographic analysis of each sample was performed to determine their thermal stability and the Brinell hardness was measured. Later, wedges of the two alternatives and reference material alloys were manufactured and installed in three types of mills. Their mass loss was determined after 25 months and at an intermediate time during that period.

Abstract
Pseudoceramic mortar is a mortar that does not require of firing to acquire hardness and mechanical strength, primarily composed of a binder hydraulic (portland cement), clay (plastic element), aggregates and water. We present some results of the evolution of the mortar after a year outside, as well as its use as a restorative material from the founderies of the main facade of the Faculty of Fine Arts of University of Granada. Good physical properties of this mortar such as its minimum contraction, its stability, its chromatic variety next to ferruginous pastes of low temperature and weather-resistant, plus its low cost and easy handling, make this mortar a fundamental material for the restoration of bricks of architectural heritage, very abundant in the Iberian Peninsula.

Abstract
Analytical results of ceramic materials of new production from waste of tungsten in Portugal Panasqueira mines are presented. We reaffirm the validity of such waste as raw material for ceramics, through the identification of neo minerals formed in high-temperature ceramics, such as: mullite and hematite. Analytical techniques in identification have been x-ray (XRD) diffraction, both raw ceramic pastes, as well as ceramic products studied at different temperatures (from 800 ºC to 1250 ºC), and morphological analysis by electron microscopy and chemical analysis by EDX. The results highlight the progressive trend of the ceramic to form new compound materials (mullite and hematite) when the working temperature is increased, as well as the greater presence of glassy phase. Both mullite and hematite, especially the first, are indicative of high quality ceramic in the obtained material. At the same time the vitreous matrix shows a volume of pores with diameters macro and mega, which favor the use of these new ceramic products in special industrial and technical applications.

Abstract
In the present study, as the structural material for toothed flexsplines of harmonic drivers, a composite material based on an epoxy resin matrix reinforced with glass or carbon fibres was used. A preliminary numerical modal analysis of the material and structural solutions for the harmonic driver flexsplines assumed to be applied was conducted. Using composite materials in production of flexsplines enables increasing the values of their fundamental vibration frequencies. Under the studies performed, geometrical models of flexsplines being manufactured for the HFUC and HFUS type harmonic drivers were developed based on their actual structures and geometrical dimensions. The calculations prepared for the sake of the study by application of the finite element method (FEM) were conducted using the MSC Patran/Nastran and Femap/NX Nastran software.

Abstract
Dyeing processes are important for marketing and differentiation of textile products. The dyeing occurs through the fixation of the dye molecules into the fibers, usually using water as solvent. The temperature and time controlling are key factors and, of course, the dyeing solvent. Currently, there is great interest in finding environmentally friendly substances for this process, with a double objective, reduce the huge water consumption into textile processes and improve dying quality. Ionic liquids can be used as robust solvents due to their wide liquid window when compared with other conventional organic solvents. The so-called protic ionic liquids (PILs) show additional advantages due to their simple synthesis and biodegradability. In this work, we propose an alternative procedure to dye cotton fibers using PILs as solvent substitute for water. With the aim of analysing the quality of the studied PILs as dyeing solvents for cotton textile industry at different operation conditions, a wide study of the properties of the dyed fibers was made. These measurements determine their efficiency as dyeing vectors and then, their dispersive power for textile processes.

The performance of buildings, and the small

Abstract
The need to establish quality standards for the construction of buildings has been a constant demand of the various players operating in the construction sector. The performance approach meets this need by establishing the requirements to be met as well as the way to measure them, in order to achieve the desired quality. In this context was issued in the Brazilian NBR 15575 Norm for the performance of residential buildings. This paper investigates the compliance with the Norm among small companies of building construction in the city of Juiz de Fora, MG. The results show that the norm is not yet fully adopted in the region, confirming what was found in other regions of the country. This is because complying with the Norm requires changes in the business, and the companies still do not understand the benefits of these changes. To change this picture, it is necessary further convince the players in the construction industry - developers, designers, builders, suppliers and users (responsible for maintenance) that the change is needed. After all, although technical Norms in Brazil are not laws, they have the force of law.

Abstract
In linear unbalanced three-phase systems, the existence of reactive power is an important cause of the inefficiency of the system itself. The explanation and quantification of these power flows was initially studied by Steinmetz, both single phase and three phase systems. By IEEE Standard 1459-2010 and unifying theory of the electric power it shows that the quantification of these power flow is performed for the fundamental frequency and positive components of voltages and currents of the system. In this work and by using the unifying theory of electrical power, the expressions for three-wire three-phase systems are developed. These expressions allow us to quantify the reactive power flows from the reactive elements of the system, and those caused by imbalances in the system. The last effect was not considered by the classical theories and their influence should be considered when we analyze the unbalanced three-phase systems.

Abstract
Ambient Assisted Living is one of the European Commission main actions to cope with the growing health care costs namely those related with elderly people. Within the context of elderly people health care and assistance a number of technologies are being proposed and supported by the European Commission, industry and academia aiming at life support systems outside hospital environments e.g. – at home. A number of coordinated actions and services are being developed and created. One of the main concerns with elderly heath care is the Parkinson Disease (PD) which is the focus of this paper. PD was first described by James Parkinson in 1817 and it is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by the loss of neurons entailing a degeneration on movement control. In this paper an easy to use portable device for the PD early diagnosis is presented. The proposed paper reports on the implementation of a finger tapping rigidity early detector which is one of the most used diagnosis for the PD. The proposed device reads and measures the ability of thumb and indicator fingers to touch each other. The device is able to evaluate the frequency of these two fingers taping and its variations.

Abstract
In this paper, parameters for assessment of the physical and mechanical properties deterioration of one limestone (Lioz), caused by fire and the effectiveness of consolidation treatment are quantified. Lioz sample was heated to 6000C. Measurement of capillary absorption coefficient, open porosity, bulk density, velocity of elastic waves and modulus of elasticity (Poisson's ratio, Young's modulus, shear modulus and bulk modulus) were made in order to characterize the sample before and after heating and also after consolidation treatment with ethyl silicate. Our study confirms the strong influence of fire damage on physical and mechanical properties and demonstrates the good strengthening action achieved with the consolidant.

Abstract
In this paper, implications of high temperature, subsequent shock cooling by immersion in water, ageing and later consolidation with ethyl silicate and nanolime is studied through the assessment of physical and mechanical properties after laboratory heat-induced tests. A renowned Portuguese limestone- Lioz widely used as building material, was heated in a muffle furnace at 600ºC for 20h and then immediately cooled down to room temperature using tap water (Step 1). Afterwards samples were subjected to ageing using a climatic chamber were a polluted environment was simulated (Step 2), followed by application through capillarity of a consolidation solution (Step 3). Characterization included measurement of CIELAB colour indexes, determination of open porosity, water absorption by capillarity, peeling test and FESEM analysis. This study describes the strong effect of high temperature damage on Lioz physical-mechanical properties, and the implications of applying ethyl silicate and nanolime on these properties and thus their efficiency and harmfulness.
