Análise da vulnerabilidade sísmica do arco da Rua Augusta

Em Portugal grande parte dos edifícios históricos antigos são constituídos por alvenaria de pedra. Este género de construção é particularmente vulnerável a ações de natureza dinâmica, nomeadamente a ações sísmicas. O estudo da vulnerabilidade sísmica destes edifícios permite estimar os níveis de dano expectáveis, aquando da ocorrência de um sismo e apoiar o desenvolvimento de técnicas de reforço que permitam evitar o colapso dos mesmos. O objetivo principal do presente estudo é avaliar a vulnerabilidade sísmica do arco da rua Augusta em Lisboa, perante um evento sísmico regulamentar, utilizando um programa de cálculo comercial especializado que permite a utilização de análises dinâmicas não lineares. Numa primeira fase procedeu-se à identificação modal do arco, com recurso a ensaios de vibração ambiental. Os resultados destes ensaios de caracterização dinâmica foram utilizados para calibrar o modelo numérico, o qual foi desenvolvido no programa de cálculo Extreme Loading for Structures, baseado no Método dos Elementos Aplicados. O modelo numérico foi utilizado, numa segunda fase, para avaliar a vulnerabilidade sísmica do arco. Uma análise preliminar pushover permitiu obter a curva de capacidade da estrutura, que por sua vez, possibilita a definição os limites de um conjunto de estados de dano considerados relevantes para o arco. Subsequentes análises sísmicas não lineares e a definição de curvas de fragilidade, permitem estimar os níveis de dano prováveis para vários níveis de ação sísmica e concluir sobre a vulnerabilidade sísmica do Arco da Rua Augusta perante um cenário sísmico regulamentar.

The roman theatre of Bracara Augusta

This paper aims to present the main features of the roman theatre of Bracara Augusta identified in 1999. Although it is still under study, a significant set of evidence made it possible to present its characteristics, to value the socioeconomic issues related with its construction and to discuss the aspects related to the development of the NW Iberian Peninsula cities, where traditionally this type of equipment was believed to be absent, and to understand the diffusion of roman public architecture models in peripheral regions within the Western Empire.

The domestic architecture of Bracara Augusta and its evolution

The excavations carried out under the rescue “Project of Bracara Augusta” have generated significant amounts of data that enabled the reconstruction of Bracara Augusta urban evolution and the characterization of its buildings and blocks. This paper aims to enhance the existing data related with the domestic architecture of the roman town, which was mainly represented by the houses of domus type.
