<summary type="text">Definition and analysis of ground surface vibration curves induced by railway traffic
Colaço, A.; Gomes, R.; Fortunato, E.
Prediction and control of ground-borne noise and vibrations are one of the largest environmental challenges &#13;
for railway exploitation in urban areas. Empirical methods based on attenuation curves, similar to those presented by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), could be extremely versatile for a first estimative of the vibration levels at the ground surface. Despite the value of the presented curves, these have a generalist &#13;
character, not allowing to attend to the particular and specific scenarios. Furthermore, both railway technology and construction techniques adopted in other world regions are quite distinct from USA reality giving rise to poor predictions when applied in distinct contexts. In this way, advanced numerical modelling is a reliable alternative, allowing incorporate the geological and geotechnical profile, type and geometric configuration of the railway track and railway vehicle specific &#13;
to each case under study and, therefore, achieving a more elaborate level of detail in the analysis. On this work, a 2.5D FEM-PML (Finite Element Method – Perfectly Matched Layer) numerical approach is used to compute the ground surface vibration curves for different scenarios. From the results obtained, it is possible to state that, even being a conservative approach in some of the scenarios under consideration, the application of the empirical methodology proposed by FTA/FRA should be considered only as a first indicator, being recommended to perform more detailed analyses in situations that require a higher control of the permitted vibration levels.

Oliveira, P.; Correia, A.; Pinto, A.; Tomásio, R.; Rios, S.; Cristóvão, A.; Tinoco, J.; Fortunato, E.; Mendonça, A.; Vaz, N.
No presente trabalho apresenta-se uma base de dados criada pela Comissão Portuguesa de &#13;
Melhoramento de Terrenos (CPMT) da Sociedade Portuguesa de Geotecnia (SPG). Esta base de &#13;
dados encontra-se implementada numa plataforma eletrónica de interface amigável, dentro do website &#13;
da SPG/CPMT, e permite a pesquisa e o acesso livre a artigos técnico-científicos relacionados com as &#13;
diversas técnicas de melhoramento de terrenos, publicados nas revistas “Geotecnia” e “Soils and &#13;
Rocks” e em atas de eventos técnico-científicos realizados sob os auspícios da SPG. Neste momento &#13;
estão compilados cerca de 800 artigos, 230 dos quais publicados nas revistas “Geotecnia” e “Soils and &#13;
Rocks” e os restantes em eventos técnico-científicos. A pesquisa de artigos é feita com base na seleção &#13;
de quatros itens independentes: técnica de melhoramento de terrenos, ano de publicação, tipo de &#13;
publicação e tipo de artigo. A ferramenta de pesquisa fornece a listagem de artigos que cumprem os &#13;
critérios de pesquisa selecionados, indicando o título, autores e respetiva afiliação, resumo e acesso &#13;

How to control saltwater intrusion in coastal zones implementing an appropriated MAR facility? The parameters required to answer that question, include the selection of the most appropriate MAR technology and the best location for MAR having (1) good infiltration rates; (2) enough space to store underground the recharged water; (3) guarantee that the travel time of the recharged water in the aquifer is long enough, compatible with the expected frequency of drought periods; (4) economic efficiency maximization; (5) availability of areas for MAR; and, (6) positive impacts on the society. GABA-IFI model addresses those parameters allowing the selection of the most appropriate place for the location of MAR. Examples will be presented in the paper. Nevertheless, GABA-IFI is not sufficient regarding coastal zones and the expected increase in sea levels worldwide. We have to assess the most vulnerable zones to control groundwater quality degradation assessing vulnerability to saltwater intrusion. GALDIT method is an appropriate toll to assess vulnerability to saltwater intrusion, and today, probably, the most used model towards that aim worldwide. Examples will be presented in the paper. GALDIT uses the hydrogeological parameters such as aquifer properties, hydraulic conductivity, groundwater level, distance from the coastline, current severity of saltwater intrusion, and aquifer thickness to make saltwater intrusion vulnerability indices. The GALDIT gives a weight to each of the indices, and prioritize the indices through a decision-making process, and then assess the possibility of saltwater intrusion by a numerical calculation. GALDIT spatial mapping is acquired using GIS techniques to show the intrinsic vulnerability to saltwater intrusion quantitatively. Worldwide application of GALDIT allow us to assess today and future expected seawater intrusion vulnerability in many coastal regions of the five continents, by applying different sea water level rise scenarios. To counteract the expect harmful eventually catastrophic consequences of saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers and their groundwater quality Managed Aquifer Recharge is the best NBS and a precious toll, i.e. a sound, safe and sustainable, scientific based, solution. MAR in coastal areas depends on the availability of water including waste water appropriately treated. The optimization of MAR is the aim of the paper, taking advantage of Vulnerability Assessment of saltwater Intrusion using GALDIT model. This will allow the selection of the most vulnerable areas affected or expected to be affected by seawater intrusion optimizing MAR water needs in scenarios of sea level rise due to climate change.

Lobo Ferreira, J. P. C.
Saúdo calorosamente os participantes desta sessão comemorativa da Universidade Agostinho Neto para apresentar a experiência do LNEC nas bacias do Cunene e Cuvelai nomeadamente sobre a avaliação e modelação de águas superficiais e subterrâneas, soluções para mitigação de cheias e secas e os modelos BALSEQ e GABA-IFI. Saliento a boa cooperação desenvolvida por Portugal e Angola com os nossos Países Irmãos da CPLP nos SILUSBAs, os Simpósios de Hidráulica e Recursos Hídricos dos Países de Língua Oficial Portuguesa. Realço o 9º SILUSBA realizado em Benguela em 2009. Passaram 25 anos desde que, em Abril de 1994, a Comissão Diretiva da Associação Portuguesa dos Recursos Hídricos (APRH), a que tive a honra de presidir, e a Associação Brasileira de Recursos Hídricos (ABRH), lançaram o bem sucedido desafio de incorporar os novos Países da CPLP na organização dos SILUSBAs. Em 2019, como Presidente da Comissão Organizadora Internacional no 14º SILUSBA em Cabo Verde, escolhi o tema "SILUSBA 25 anos construindo a Comunidade da Água da CPLP”. Realço que os SILUSBAs têm como objectivos principais promover o avanço do conhecimento nos domínios da Hidráulica e dos Recursos Hídricos; promover o intercâmbio de ideias e de experiências nos domínios da Hidráulica e dos Recursos Hídricos; e estimular acções de formação, de investigação e de desenvolvimento de interesse comum. É esse o espírito desta minha apresentação de hoje.
