ACTIVITY DEVELOPED
The scientific and technical research activity has essentially been in the field of studying the structural behavior of concrete dams and other structures, using experimental and numerical methods, for static and dynamic actions.
Responsible for providing support to the owners in the implementation and operation of seismic observation and continuous dynamic monitoring systems at the Baixo Sabor, Foz Tua, Alqueva, Ribeiradio and Alto Ceira dams.
Development of new experimental technologies to carry out forced vibration tests on the prototype.
Analysis of the dynamic behavior of concrete dams, for low intensity actions and seismic events, based on experimental and numerical methods.
Water-dam interaction in the study of the dynamic behavior of concrete dams, based on experimental and numerical methods.
Effect of reservoir level and temperature variation on the dynamic behavior of dams.
Variation of hydrodynamic pressures in the reservoir and dam during seismic events.
Propagation of vibrations caused by rock blasting using explosives and the effect on existing structures.
