Abstract:
Mestrado em Engenharia Civil<br>Coastal erosion is a serious problem that affects numerous countries and particularly Portugal. The sediment deficit, increasing urbanistic pressure and highly energetic coastal areas anticipate the necessity of large investments in shore protection structures. The design process of coastal structures is mainly dependent on empirical formulations, followed by tests on physical models to validate the design solutions. In these empirical formulations, the incorporation of several parameters in to coefficients, adds a level of subjectivity that is relevant on the

Una migliore conoscenza dei processi costieri, infatti, può consentire agli ingegneri di adottare approcci più corretti nella progettazione di opere di protezione costiera. La principale fonte di sup

Abstract:
The incidence of fretting damage in the pressure armour wires of flexible pipes used in offshore oil explorations has been investigated. A novel experimental facility which is capable of simulating nub and valley contact conditions of interlocking wire winding with dynamic slip, representative of actual pipe loading, has been developed. The test set-up is equipped with a state of the art data acquisition system and a controller with transducers to measure and control the normal load, slip amplitude and friction force at the contact, in addition to the hoop stress in the wire.

Abstract:
Flexible pipes are commonly used for connecting seabed flow-lines to floating production facilities. The general riser design consists of an internal carcass for collapse resistance, a polymer fluid barrier, carbon steel interlocked circumferential pressure armour layer for resisting internal pressure loads, helically wound carbon steel tensile armour layers to resist axial loads and a watertight external sheath. Much of the analytical work that has been carried out on flexible composite pipe is based on the early stress analyses of wire ropes, and this is primarily because of the helical geom

Abstract:
Stab resistant body armour had been used throughout history, with examples ranging from animal hide construction to the moulded Polycarbonate units typically used by United Kingdom (UK) Police Officers. Such protective articles have historically, and continue to present a number of issues which have shown to impair the operational performance of its wearer including but not exclusive to poor thermal regulation, large masses, and reduced manoeuvrability. A number of developments have been made in an attempt to minimise the effects of such issues. One potential solution yet to be fully explored

Full text
Abstract:
Adding a surface rock layer (also called rock armor or rock mulch) to constructed slopes improves erosion resistance but has had mixed effects on revegetation. This study investigated the effects of rock layer depth (no rocks, 10-, 15-, and 20-cm rock layers) and rock size (5-20cm diameter rocks) on vegetation cover. Seeding was applied four times in the first 2 years. After 3 years, plots with a rock layer averaged 7% vegetative cover compared to 85% on plots without a rock layer. There was a nonsignificant trend toward less vegetation with a deeper rock layer.

Abstract:
Coastal regions are extensively utilized by constructing coastal structures and facilities, as a result of the economical potential they offer. In designing and construction of coastal structures, it is important to achieve an optimum design satisfying both the stability and the engineering economy requirements effectively, regarding the natural balance of the coastal region. In this study, first step model tests on the stability of the coastal protection structures of Eastern Black Sea Highway Project under construction, proved that the structure is not stable and safe under severe wave actio

Bedload transport has long been known for its complexity. Despite decades of research, significant gaps of understanding exist in the ability to assess and predict bedload movement. This work introduces a comprehensive bedload database that is a compilation of field samples collected over the past 40 years; compares prediction formulae using a subset of the database; evaluates the influence of the armor layer on stream response to sediment input based on a hypothesis linked to one of the tested formulae, presents a mathematically manipulation of the empirical Pagosa Good/Fair formula for bedlo

Abstract:
Les matériaux céramiques sont largement utilisés dans la composition de blindages ou de structures de protection car ils permettent, à performances égales, un gain de masse important par rapport à leurs homologues en acier. Dans ces conditions, ils subissent des chargements extrêmes conduisant à des mécanismes de microplasticité et d’endommagement sous fort confinement et sous haute vitesse. Pour bien comprendre le comportement de ces matériaux il est nécessaire de procéder à une caractérisation du comportement mécanique sous des conditions de vitesse et de pression représentatives.

Abstract:
Coastal defense structures are built in order to protect valuable coastal regions from the destructive effects of the waves. Due to the cost of coastal defense structures and the economical potential of the coastal regions, failure of such structures could cause loss of high amounts of investment. Therefore in the design and construction of coastal structures, it is of vital importance to achieve an optimum design which is not neither underdesigned nor overdesigned. In this study, Submerged Berm type coastal defense structures with several different cross-sections were tested for stability un

Abstract:
The broad field of engineering is facing a paradigm shift where advanced optimization methods and techniques are more often used to solve complex problems. Most of these problems either require the analysis of a large amount of data or the solving of complex calculations, or even both. This dissertation aims to develop an understanding of non-linear optimization algorithms applied to a complex engineering design problem: a multi-layer plate under a ballistic impact. To solve a complex design engineering problem, the most efficient way is to combine non-linear optimization algorithms wi
