Estudo da elaboração do plano de descomissionamento para desativação de empreendimentos

Deconstructions, although hardly covered in Civil Engineering courses, are a very important field of study. Due to numerous factors, such as obsolescence, buildings life cycle comes to an end leading to their deactivations. Decommissioning is a process that intends to plan the hole deactivation by providing the cleaning of contaminated areas, avoiding risks to public health, as well as promoting a screening of generated waste, whether dangerous or not, offering their correct disposal or even reuse when possible. Decommissioning must be developed by a plan that covers from the recognition of the area until its releases to other uses. When this procedure is appropriate, attention must be paid to the cost effective of its implementation and to the cleaning standard that the plan intends to reach. The execution of the service allows to reuse the area, becoming productive again

Cryptotermes brevis (Isoptera, Kalotermitidae): biologia e polimorfismo de imaturos

Cryptotermes brevis (Walker, 1853) é um cupim de madeira seca exótico no Brasil, pertencente a família Kalotermitidae e que possui uma distribuição geográfica bastante ampla, sendo encontrada somente em ambientes sinantrópicos. Esta espécie de cupim de madeira seca vive dentro de pedaços de madeira onde escava suas galerias por meio da alimentação. Estes insetos se alimentam do próprio ninho onde vivem e sua infestação é percebida pela formação de grânulos fecais sólidos que são expulsos de peças de madeira infestadas. Dessa forma, C. brevis causa grandes danos econômicos em áreas urbanas, infestando peças de mobiliários manufaturados pelo homem e estruturas de madeira como batentes, forros, rodapés, etc. Em uma colônia de cupins de madeira seca existem castas morfofisiologicamente diferentes, as quais realizam tarefas distintas. Entre elas estão as castas ápteras (soldados e falsos operários), e os reprodutores (rei e rainha). A maioria das castas de cupins são cegas e exibem comportamentos característicos que são utilizados na comunicação entre eles, como por exemplo trofalaxia estomodeal e proctodeal, “grooming”, antenação, “butting”, etc. Devido ao reduzido conhecimento da biologia dessa importante praga urbana, o presente trabalho objetivou elucidar as aspectos da biologia e do polimorfismo de imaturos nesta espécie de cupim. Para entender o polimorfismo de larvas e ninfas foi realizado um estudo biométrico em que mensurou-se a largura da cabeça e do pronoto e o comprimento do broto alar e da tíbia. Os resultados obtidos mostraram três ínstares larvais e quatro ínstares ninfas. Adicionalmente, foram iniciadas colônias que foram abrigadas em diferentes volumes (300 cm3 e 150 cm3) e tipos de madeira. Estas colônias incipientes de laboratório foram abertas após seis meses e mostraram uma média de 5 indivíduos por colônia... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Desenvolvimento de tijolos cerâmicos com escória de alto-forno

The construction industry is booming, and the federal government is heavily financially supporting public housing. This scenario is very favorable for the development of construction materials, especially low-cost construction. Thus, this study aims to develop a new class of unfired clay masonry bricks: GGBS stabilized bricks. Studies show that the ground granulated blast furnace slag, a material used as raw material in cement manufacture, can be used together with calcium oxide in soil stabilization for the manufacture of bricks. This study aims to test and identify the best parameters for the manufacture of unfired bricks, adapting its composition to the materials found in Brazil and identify the optimum curing conditions for our climate. So far preliminary studies were done to verify the technical feasibility of the material. Future studies should be done to ascertain the economic feasibility and environmental gains of such material

Estudo comparativo do desempenho empresarial no Brasil e na China no período de 2005-2009: uma análise de empresas de capital aberto do setor de siderurgia

A teoria em finanças tem evoluído cada vez mais aproximando a teoria financeira às práticas reais adotadas nas empresas e nos mercados financeiros. A partir de Modigliani e Miller, que contribuíram para o ramo das finanças com a teoria da Irrelevância Financeira, o caminho se abriu para uma série de debates a cerca da importância das variáveis financeiras na determinação do valor da empresa. Foram levantados questionamentos a respeito da perfeição dos mercados e apresentado argumentos como a assimetria de informações, os custos de agência, a restrição financeira e outras implicações à teoria do investimento. Atualmente o que se sabe é que o fator investimento está altamente ligado às finanças e, portanto, relaciona-se com os meios de financiamento presentes no mercado e com a organização interna e financeira das firmas, esse ramo de estudo recebe o nome de Finanças Corporativas. Diante da teoria financeira, o objetivo é analisar a indústria siderúrgica de duas economias atualmente em destaque, Brasil e China através da análise econômico-financeira de quatro empresas de capital aberto do setor: Gerdau, Usiminas, Baosteel e Masteel. Cabe destacar que a indústria siderúrgica é base para outras indústrias, como construção civil, automóveis, máquinas, entre outros e, por isso, é tida como sinalizadora do desenvolvimento econômico de um país, assim também, o Brasil e a China são caracterizados como grandes potenciais emergentes e fontes de atração de investimentos internacionais

Auxílio do geoprocessamento para a geração do mapa de suscetibilidade à erosão: o caso do córrego Mandu, Rio Claro/SP

The mining of sand, currently, is essential for urban growth, by providing input for the building industry. The consequences of this mining activity to environmental triggers may be severe and irreversible. Among the major impacts caused by sand mining the riparian vegetation removal is detached. The riparian vegetation is essential for balance and maintaining the local ecosystem. For all that had been shown, is possible to verify the importance of environmental studies in areas wich there are mining. This study aimed specially to assess environmental impacts triggered by a mining, located near the headwaters of the stream Mandu, situated in Ajapi, District of Rio Claro-SP. For this purpose, we used remote sensing techniques and GIS to produce thematic maps of slope, pedology, geology, land use and occupation of the soil, and riparian vegetation, using the capabilities of GIS / ArcGIS. The slope map was based on data from the Cartographic IGC 1979, scale 1:10,000. For the production of pedological and geological maps were used Semi-Detailed soil survey of the state of São Paulo, 1981 (1:100,000) and the Geological Map of Zaine (1994), scale 1:50,000, respectively. Since the maps of Use and Land Occupation and Riparian Forest were obtained by visual interpretation of the image of CBERS 2010 following the merger between the HRC and CCD images. From these mappings, and through multi-criteria analysis, map of susceptibility to erosion was made, which supported the environmental assessment of the studied area, indicating susceptible and unsuitable areas for the deployment of economic activities and urban sprawl. This study serves as a model can be replicated in other watersheds, assisting in the proper use planning and land use, aiming at the rational use of natural resources

A financeirização da moradia e o Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida

This paper has it is hypotesis on the government program “My Home, My Life” and the assumption that it is a public politic attached to the market logic of financialization of the housing. It is understood that this program encourage capital for the main constructors and incorporated of brazilian heritage elite. It also served as well to promote more rentability to international capital and intensified the sociospacial segregration process as real state speculation has been potencialized. This work aims to present and discuss the program contradictions that have been sustained on the speech of wide subsidy offer and habitance construcution for low income workers - month income until three minimum salaries. Documents have shown that in the first phase of the program, habitance construction for this sector of population corresponded only to 5,5% of total habitation deficit. Businessmen on residance civil construction and public politic representatives have confirmed that the program interests are linked to financial market logic.The real benefits are not for low income workers, but for real state agents through extraordinaty profits of land and the so called new medium workers class(worker class C).We will search for embasement on the country history through the different governments and housing policies, in value theory and the concept of land income to understand the financialization process of the housing. We will also analyse oficial documents and the agents speech involved in real state market to show program contradictions and whose the real benefts are for
