Detrital zircons from Holocene beach sand and igneous zircons from the Cretaceous syenite forming Cape Sines (Western Iberian margin) were dated
using laser ablation – inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry. The
U–Pb ages obtained were used for comparison with previous radiometric
data from Carboniferous greywacke, Pliocene–Pleistocene sand and Cretaceous syenite forming the sea cliff at Cape Sines and the contiguous coast.
New U–Pb dating of igneous morphologically simple and complex zircons
from the syenite of the Sines pluton suggests that the history of zircon crystallization was more extensive (ca 87 to 74 Ma), in contrast to the findings of
previous geochronology studies (ca 76 to 74 Ma). The U–Pb ages obtained in
Holocene sand revealed a wide interval, ranging from the Cretaceous to the
Archean, with predominance of Cretaceous (37%), Palaeozoic (35%) and
Neoproterozoic (19%) detrital-zircon ages. The paucity of round to subrounded grains seems to indicate a short transportation history for most of
the Cretaceous zircons (ca 95 to 73 Ma) which are more abundant in the
beach sand that was sampled south of Cape Sines. Comparative analysis
using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov statistical method, analysing sub-populations separately, suggests that the zircon populations of the Carboniferous
and Cretaceous rocks forming the sea cliff were reproduced faithfully in
Quaternary sand, indicating sediment recycling. The similarity of the pre-
Cretaceous ages (>ca 280 Ma) of detrital zircons found in Holocene sand, as
compared with Carboniferous greywacke and Pliocene–Pleistocene sand, provides support for the hypothesis that detritus was reworked into the beach
from older sedimentary rocks exposed along the sea cliff. The largest percentage of Cretaceous zircons (

O conforto acústico na habitação é essencial para permitir um repouso tranquilo e regenerativo. Este conforto é obtido principalmente pela redução do ruído e aumento do isolamento sonoro dos elementos de compartimentação. Para a qualificação deste conforto é necessário efetuar uma análise global do edifício, onde são considerados os fatores internos e externos à habitação, ou seja, considerando a acústica da envolvente (Vizinhança), do edifício (Edifício) e da fração (Habitação). Para este efeito foi produzido o “Método LNEC para avaliação e classificação da qualidade acústica de edifícios habitacionais”, o qual permite fazer uma avaliação global do conforto acústico na habitação. Este método inovador em Portugal origina uma Classe Acústica LNEC que permite representar com razoável fiabilidade o conforto acústico realmente sentido e a qualidade acústica da habitação. Este método pode ser aplicado a edifícios novos e a edifícios a reabilitar. De modo a permitir uma estimação dos custos médios necessários para transitar entre determinadas classes (e alcançar respetivo conforto acústico) é necessário possuir uma ferramenta de cálculo apropriada. Deste modo apresenta-se nesta comunicação uma ferramenta para estimar os custos de transição entre classes acústicas. Esta metodologia permite fazer escolhas mais fundamentadas nos processos de obtenção de determinado conforto acústico. Abstract The acoustic comfort in dwellings is essential to a peaceful and regenerative sleep. The achievement of this comfort is primarily obtained by reducing noise and increasing sound insulation of separating elements. To classify this comfort is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the habitation. This global analysis assesses the internal and external factors of the habitation, evaluating the acoustics of the environment (Vicinity), of the building (Building) and of the dwelling place (Lodging). Recently in Portugal was developed the “LNEC method for evaluation and acoustic quality classification of residential buildings” that allows an overall evaluation of the acoustic comfort in dwellings, resulting also in a “LNEC Acoustic Class” that portrays the real acoustic comfort sensed. Since this method can be applied to evaluate the acoustic comfort of new and of restored buildings, it is necessary a tool that gives an estimation of the needed investment to upgrade to a specific “LNEC Acoustic Class” (and achieve the respective acoustic comfort). In this communication is presented a tool that allows the estimation of that upgrade costs.
