Estudo da implantação offshore de turbina eólica sobre torre treliçada em betão pré-esforçado

Renewable energy are gradually assuming the role of an alternative source of energy to fossil fuels especially because of research and development that has been carried out to this day.
Wind energy is one of the most promising renewable energy, particularly offshore technology because it presents a high potential, even though a lot of research and development is still needed.

Structural behavior of connectors on CBPB panels

This dissertation is a study of the use of CBPB (Cement-Bonded ParticleBoards) as a structural material and ascertains whether it has the capability to resist, as a structural element, tensile loads. Various tests are shown related to the tensile strength of the CBPB aswell as it’s behaviour in various types of connections. There is also the research of it’s linear thermal expansion coefficient.

Cyclic Behavior of Polymeric Mortars with Lightweight Aggregates

In this project, a study on the behaviour of actions of polymenic mortars with low associates is undergone. On the market there currently exist various types of epoxy resin and cork or rubber associates.

Comportamento Estrutural de Pilares Construídos com CBPB.

This work is part of a research project for the use of CBPB (Cement-Bonded ParticleBoards) as
structural material and aims to explore the possibility to use CBPB as structural elements, predominantly subjected to compressive forces – columns. In this dissertation issues related to the compressive strength of CBPB, the behaviour of some types of connections and proposals for the detailing of columns, are studied.

Reforço de Vigas de Betão Armado com Armaduras Exteriores de FRP

This thesis follows on from accomplished studies in the Civil Engineering Department of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa about the reinforcement to the bending of reinforced concrete beams with CFRP composites (reinforced composites with carbon fibers).

Comportamento Estrutural de Ligações Dissipativas em Painéis de Fachada Pré-fabricados

The precast as a construction technique has several advantages, such as the increased strength and durability of concrete, the reduction of time and the necessity of fewer workers in the construction site, which leads to the reduction of the global cost of the construction.

Durabilidade de argamassas poliméricas de agregados leves

The aim of this study is to evaluate the durability of polymeric mortars with lightweight aggregate facing several environmental agents. For this purpose, it was investigated the effect of wet-drying cycles in saline environments, with the soaking in salt water and drying inside a climatic chamber. Furthermore, it was evaluated the effect of wet-drying cycles in acidic environments, using sulfuric and formic acid solutions.
