Epidemiology, genetics and social impact of arhl: a portuguese example
Flook, M.; Lopes, S.; Alves, L.; Aparício, M.; Martins, J. H.; Silva, E.; Murta, A.; Andrade, S.; Andrade, C.; O'Neill, A.; Matos, T.; Antunes, M.
Aging effect on the integrity of the traditional portuguese timber roof structures
Murta, A.; Varum, Humberto; Pinto, J.; Ramos, Luís F.; Cunha, Vitor M. C. F.; Cardoso, R.; Nunes, L.Traditional buildings basically include natural and autochthonous construction materials and are built with sustainable construction techniques. The knowledge of these materials’s state and construction techniques is required for a proper conservation/renovation work. It is well known that the lack of maintenance is one of the main causes that contribute to the high degree of degradation that the Portuguese tra...

Building details of a tabique dwelling in Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro region
Cardoso, R.; Paiva, A.; Pinto, J.; Murta, A.; Varum, H.; Nunes, L.; Ramos, L.Tabique is one of the main Portuguese traditional building techniques which use earth as a building material. In general, a tabique building component is formed by a simple timber structure covered by an earth based mortar on both sides. The mortar has an important role in this system because it protects the internal timber structure as well as it is a coating. Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro, is the northeast re...
Advantages of using raw materials in ancient and recent buildings
Murta, A.; Varum, H.; Pinto, J.Many of the existing buildings constructed mostly with natural raw materials, in European sites, are frequently lacking proper maintenance and, therefore, a high degree of degradation is verified in these buildings compromising their integrity and reducing their lifetime probability. Often in the rehabilitation or reconstruction of old buildings the solution adopted is the partial or integral demolition and sub...

Building with sugar and corn
Pinto, J.; Paiva, A.; Costa, A.; Tavares, P.; Fernandes, L.; Murta, A.; Varum, H.Two alternative and highly sustainable building techniques are presented and described. The techniques are sugar reinforcement of earth based material and corncob based thermal isolation material. Some experimental results highlight the advantages and disadvantages of these two proposed techniques whose study is still beginning. The water resistance of earth based materials may be increased by adding a certain ...

Contributo para a recuperação de edifícios antigos
Murta, A.; Varum, H.; Pinto, J.Muitos dos edifícios construídos maioritariamente em materiais naturais, no espaço Europeu, revelam falta de manutenção adequada e apresentam por isso um elevado estado de degradação, comprometendo assim a sua integridade e reduzindo o período de vida útil do edifício. Uma das razões principais para este acontecimento é o custo da manutenção. É comum o aparecimento de patologias até em edifícios recentes. A cau...
