An ICT-enhanced methodology for the characterization of vernacular built herita...
Arias Tapiero, Juan Camilo; Graus, Sandra; Khei, Soon; Silva, Dener; Conde, Otávio; Ferreira, Tiago Miguel; Ortega, Javier; Luso, EduardaThe characterization of vernacular buildings is crucial for understanding the historical, social, and cultural significance of a community. These buildings reflect a collective memory and result from a long adaptation process to the local environment. Documenting them facilitates better decisionmaking regarding the preservation of their intrinsic values and long-term conservation. Unfortunately, depopulation pr...
Evaluation and characterization of the built rural environment of the Montesinh...
Luso, Eduarda; Ferreira, DéboraIn Portugal, in recent decades, there has been an increase in the population and cities located on the coast and, on the contrary, a decrease in inland locations, with greater severity in rural areas. The causes are complex and not consensual, but it is clear that factors such as the lack of investment in the interior, emigration and migration to a coast that is increasingly autistic in its relationship with th...
An experimental analysis on the thermal performance of rammed earth walls
Luso, Eduarda; Cabello, Isabelle; Silva, Rui; Briga-Sá, AnaEarth has been used as a building material since the beginning of civilizations and its utilization was widespread to most regions of the world, promoted by the high availability, easy access, and low cost of the material. As result of the generalised use of raw earth as building material, many earthen building techniques were developed through time, where adobe masonry, rammed earth and wattle-and-daub are amo...

Fire behaviour of mortars with portland cement and residual diatomaceous earth
Magalhães, Leandro; Zolin, Renan Calvo; Alves, Matheus Henrique; Barreira, Luísa; Ferreira, Débora; Luso, Eduarda; Mesquita, L.M.R.; Óscar, LimaThe high pollution levels produced by the manufacturing of conventional Portland cement have motivated several studies in an attempt to modernize this process with alternative binders and the conscious use of natural resources. The correct treatment of residues has become a matter of great concern. The project “BacchusTech” aims to reuse diatomaceous earth from wine filtrations, introducing them into the compos...

Ortega, Javier; Vasconcelos, Graça; Ferreira, Tiago Miguel; Rodrigues, Hugo; Luso, Eduarda; Arias, Juan; Graus, Sandra; Khei, Soon; Silva, DenerThe INHAVIT research project, funded by the Portuguese Foundation of Science and Technology (FCT), aims to study and identify the social, economic and environmental vulnerabilities that may be contributing to the current state of progressive abandonment of the rural villages of Montesinho Natural Park (MNP), in Portugal. Once the vulnerabilities are better understood, the main research question is whether the c...

The use of ultrasonic echo pulse velocity as an NDT method to predict the concr...
Abreu Filho, Marco Antonio; Moreno, Carlos; Luso, EduardaThe ultrasonic approach is one of the non-destructive testing methods that most technologically progressed in past few years. This study aims to validate the accuracy and capabilities of this method in the mechanical characterization of concrete elements, by using an ultrasonic tomography equipment based in echo pulse velocity (S-waves). The elastic modulus and compressive strength of concrete are estimated fro...
