3D numerical modeling of geosynthetics for soil reinforcement: a bibliometric a...
Paiva, Lucas; Pinho-Lopes, Margarida; Paula, António Miguel; Valente, RoberttSoil reinforcement using geosynthetics is an efficient and cost-effective solution for a variety of geotechnical structures. Along with the increasing use of geosynthetics, there is a need to expand and enhance the design methodologies for these elements, which are still frequently based on conservative limit equilibrium approaches. In this paper, a bibliometric analysis was conducted on geosynthetic-reinforced...
Engineering education challenges and strengths: reflecting on key-stakeholder's...
Ferreira, Carla; Gabriel, Bárbara; Valente, Robertt; Figueiredo, CláudiaWe live in a society in constant scientific and technological change, where engineering education is required to develop the competences needed for future engineers to be able to respond to the complex and interdisciplinary problems that arise from this. It is no longer enough just to provide updated scientific and technological training to students, but it is also required to articulate the needs of society wi...
Three-dimensional modelling of in-isolation tensile response of geogrids using ...
Paiva, Lucas; Pinho-Lopes, Margarida; Valente, Robertt; Paula, António MiguelNumerical modelling of geogrids is a challenging task, with extruded geogrids often presenting complex geometries and nonlinear tensile response even at low strain rates. In this study, threedimensional (3D) models were developed in ABAQUS to investigate the in-isolation tensile response of extruded geogrids, accounting for a detailed geometric discretization. Hyperbolic constitutive models were used to represe...
Reforming doctoral education through immersive Ph.D. training weeks
Andrade-Campos, António; Saur-Amaral, Irina; Gabriel, Bárbara; Figueiredo, Cláudia; Valente, Robertt; Dias-de-Oliveira, J.A.Ph.D. training worldwide, including Doctoral education in Engineering fields, has been in trouble for some time. These last turbulent times (Pandemic, energy, inflation, and war crises) have only increased the problems previously reported by the 3rd cycle students and early career researchers, including chronic lack of support and poor-quality supervision, with senior researchers rarely trained in mentorship. I...
Immersive training weeks in doctoral education
Saur-Amaral, Irina; Andrade-Campos, António; Gabriel, Bárbara; Figueiredo, Cláudia; Valente, Robertt; Dias-de-Oliveira, J. A.Ph.D. training worldwide, including Doctoral education in Marketing or Engineering fields, has been in trouble for some time. These last turbulent times (pandemic, energy, inflation, and war crises) have only increased the problems previously reported by the 3rd cycle students and early career researchers, including chronic lack of support and poor-quality supervision, with senior researchers rarely trained in ...
Geosynthetics for sustainable cities: 3D models and mechanical damage
Lucas, Paiva; Lopes, Margarida Pinho; Paula, António Miguel; Valente, RoberttGeosynthetics have increasingly been used as a reinforcement material in a variety of geotechnical engineering applications (e.g., roadways, foundations, steep slopes). Reinforced soil relies on the transference of stresses from the soil to the reinforcement elements. Thus, it is key to understand how mechanical damage of the geosynthetics influences the stress-strain-time response of soil-geosynthetic interact...
Is it “just to teach” or is it “more to learn”? Reflections, among peers, about...
Franco, Amanda; Vieira, Rui Marques; Simões, Ana Raquel; Costa, Alberto; Ventura, Sónia P. M.; Neto, Victor; Carlos, Vânia; Lopes, Betina SilvaSeveral strategies have been proposed to fill the gaps in the pedagogical training of faculty, one of which referring to peer observation of teaching. To support faculty in their pedagogical practices, a peer observation of teaching program is currently being implemented at University of Aveiro (Portugal), already in its second edition. In the present paper, after briefly framing the concept of teaching profess...
“Só para ensinar” ou “mais para aprender”? Reflexões, entre pares, sobre as (pr...
Franco, Amanda; Vieira, Rui Marques; Simões, Ana Raquel; Costa, Alberto J.; Ventura, Sónia P. M.; Neto, Vitor; Carlos, Vânia; Lopes, Betina SilvaVárias estratégias têm sido avançadas para suprir lacunas na formação pedagógica de professores do Ensino Superior, sendo uma delas a observação por pares. Com o intuito de apoiar os professores nas suas práticas pedagógicas, está em curso na Universidade de Aveiro (Portugal) um programa de observação por pares, já na sua segunda edição. No presente artigo, após um breve enquadramento aludindo à profissionalida...
Changing higher education one teacher at a time: book of abstracts of the Third...
Gabriel, Bárbara Filipa Casqueira Coelho; Campos, António Gil d'Orey de Andrade; Oliveira, João Alexandre Dias de; Nascimento, Maria ManuelThis conference is the third CISPEE event, following the editions in Porto (2013) and Vila Real (2016), and now in the city of Aveiro. Being a joint effort between the University of Aveiro and the Portuguese Society for Engineering Education (SPEE), CISPEE 2018 will emphasize the relevance of Engineering Education with (and for) Society. The organizers of CISPEE 2018 are aware of the current challenges (and res...
