Knitted textile KTPs for instrumented underwater building systems
Monteiro, Filipa Maria Barbosa Faria; Pereira, E. N. B.; Almeida, João Alberto Pinheiro Pereira; Cruz, Fábio Quintas; Barajas, Diddyer Alexander Prada[Excerpt] The main scope of this study was to assess the potential of knitted textiles for underwater instrumented underwater building systems, using textile knitted preforms (multi-shape; multimaterial; etc…), using natural fibres (Hemp, Linen and Cotton).
Design procedures for sustainable structural concretes using wastes and industr...
Neves, Ana; Almeida, João; Cruz, Fábio Quintas; Miranda, Tiago F. S.; Cunha, Vitor M. C. F.; Rodrigues, Mafalda; Costa, José; Pereira, E. N. B.The protection of the environment must be a priority in our society, and the construction sector can contribute significantly to this goal. Construction, being one of the industrial sectors that is more demanding in terms of raw materials, must reinforce its effort to implement, in a more profound and systematic way, the paradigm of the circular economy. In this sense, in recent years several studies have been ...
Fast building – increasing the geometrical freedom of textile reinforced concre...
Monteiro, Filipa Maria Barbosa Faria; Cruz, Fábio Quintas; Neves, Ana Rita Rodrigues; Barajas, Diddyer Alexander Prada; Rocha, J.L.; Pereira, E. N. B.[Excerpt] Introduction Textile technology is highly innovative, and several techniques are already being used to act as building parts for fast building, interior design, architectural details and offshore structures. However, such potential still fails when complex geometrical structures or multifunctionality are required.
Experimental testing and CFD modelling for prototype design of innovative Artif...
Maslov, Dmytro; Johnson, J.; Pereira, E. N. B.; Duarte, D.; Miranda, Tiago F. S.; Lima, M. M. C. L.; Cruz, Fábio Quintas; Valente, Isabel B.This research aims to provide insight on the experimental results obtained induring hydraulic flume channel testing of a multifunctional artificial reef (MFAR) prototype employing various turbulence models and discretization schemes for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) numerical simulations. The recently developed Multifunctional Artificial Reef is believed to be an effective tool to support marine ecosystem ...
From decision-making to Oceans Accounts: a case study
Pinheiro, Marisa Mota; Miranda, Tiago F. S.; Ferreira, Vasco; Pereira, E. N. B.; Valente, Isabel B.; Cruz, Fábio Quintas; Maslov, DmytroEarth systems are nowadays on the verge of radical disruptions, whether due to unprecedented demographic pressures or as a result of the current complexity of global systems. Climate Changes, ecosystems unbalances, natural resources depletion, pollution, extreme events, natural catastrophes, humanized overpopulated environments, as well as economical turbulences, represent more than ever, very uncertain terms o...
Desenvolvimento e caraterização de painéis sanduíche híbridos para a reabilitaç...
Cruz, Fábio QuintasNos últimos anos, com a crescente necessidade de elementos estruturais leves, de elevada rigidez e resistência na Engenharia da Construção, nomeadamente na área da reabilitação, tem havido um enorme interesse no estudo e desenvolvimento de soluções compósitas, nas quais se incluem os painéis sanduíche. A presente dissertação insere-se no projeto de investigação “EasyFloor”, que tem como objetivo o de contribuir...
