Esta dissertação trata da problemática da Reabilitação de edifícios. Abordando deste modo os prós e contras da prática da conservação ou reabilitação. De um modo geral, para além da população de uma cidade, os edifícios constituem a imagem da cidade, bem como conferem a sua identidade. Deste modo, os edifícios antigos salvaguardam o património histórico, preservando toda a sua identidade cultural, bem como as memórias. Com a história dos edifícios, é possível revelar a nossa identidade, a qual faz parte da nossa herança cultural. Deste modo, o antigo palácio da Família Feu Guião, faz parte de um dos exemplos mais notáveis da arquitectura existente no Bairro da Fonte Nova, tratando-se de um edifício dos finais do século XVIII, possui uma grande História não só pelas várias gerações que por ali passaram, como também pelas várias épocas de construção. No entanto, encontra-se em mau estado de conservação, necessitando urgentemente de uma intervenção de modo a salvaguardar toda a herança cultural. Assim, segundo uma estratégia global das acções de reabilitação, é elaborada uma proposta de intervenção de modo não só a preservar o edifício, bem como melhorar o seu desempenho.

La presente tesis investiga sobre la manera en que la arquitectura se ha construido para utilizar la luz natural, con el fin de aplicar estos conocimientos a la rehabilitación de edificios históricos. Para ello es necesario conocer aspectos técnicos en el uso de la luz, partiendo por comprender cuáles son los fenómenos físicos que debiéramos conocer los arquitectos para poder utilizarla adecuadamente. Es necesario también saber cómo es el comportamiento de los materiales frente a la luz y cómo utilizar¬los en el contexto rehabilitación. Dentro de los aspectos técnicos, se establece cuáles son las estrate¬gias, los sistemas y las tecnologías necesarias para la utilización de la luz en arquitectura, y se organiza esta información con el fin de hacerla clara, accesible y útil. Sin embargo, la luz no puede ser empleada en forma adecuada si no se conocen los requerimientos y las necesidades que el ser humano tiene respecto de ella, para habitar en forma confortable y salu¬dable. Es por eso que se establecen a su vez los requerimientos humanos respecto de la luz desde el punto de vista de sus características biológicas, su percepción y sus necesidades ergonómicas. Como la tesis se enmarca dentro de la problemática de la rehabilitación de edificios históricos, es necesario conocer cuál es la relación entre los procesos histórico-culturales y la técnica para utilizar la luz en la historia de la arquitectura. Se busca establecer la correlación entre historia y técnica, con el fin de responder en forma adecuada a los valores patrimoniales de un edificio histórico al alterar un aspecto tan importante como su iluminación natural. Con este conjunto de conocimientos técnicos, humanos e históricos establecidos en la primera parte de la tesis, se propone un protocolo de diseño para un proyecto de rehabilitación en cinco casos de estudio. Esta herramienta analiza el comportamiento actual de la luz para una determinada función, detecta los problemas lumínicos, establece criterios para la elección de soluciones y analiza el compor¬tamiento de estas soluciones. Finalmente compara los resultados lumínicos de las condiciones actua¬les y la solución propuesta. Por último, la investigación genera criterios que pueden ser aplicables a la normativa chilena de plani¬ficación territorial respecto del uso de la luz en contextos urbanos patrimoniales. ABSTRACT This thesis addresses how the architecture has been built to use natural light, in order to apply this knowledge to the historic buildings rehabilitation. This requires knowing technical aspects in the use of light, starting to understand what physical phenomena we, the architects, should know to use it properly. It is also necessary to know how materials behave in regards to light and how to use it in the rehabilitation context. Among the technical aspects, we should define strategies, systems and techno¬logies necessary for the use of light in architecture, and organize this information in order to make it clear, available and useful. However, light cannot be used properly if are not known requirements and needs that human beings have towards it, to live in comfortable and healthy way. That is why light human requirements are determined to know how light influences their cycles, perception and comfort. As the thesis is in frame of rehabilitation of historic building problem, it is necessary to know how is the relationship between historic-cultural processes and technology of light use, in the architecture history. It seeks to establish the correlation between History and technology, in order to give an ade¬quately answer to the heritage values of a historic building by altering an important aspect like its natural lighting. With this set of technical, human and historical knowledge, established in the first part of the thesis, a protocol is proposed for a rehabilitation project design in five study cases. This tool analyzes current behavior of light for a specifically function, detects lighting problems, establishes criteria for the selec¬tion of solutions and analyzes solution behaviors. Additionally, it compares results of current lighting conditions and the proposed solution. Finally this research generates criteria that may be applicable to Chilean territorial planning legislation, regarding use of light in patrimonial urban contexts.

La envolvente de la edificación es la responsable de equilibrar el intercambio energético entre el interior y el exterior, por lo tanto cualquier actuación encaminada a la reducción del consumo energético ha de establecer, como uno de sus objetivos prioritarios, la mejora del comportamiento de la misma. Las edificaciones anteriores a 1940 constituyen la mayor parte de las existentes en áreas rurales y centros urbanos. En ellas, la repercusión de la fachada sobre las transmitancias globales pone de manifiesto la necesidad de intervención. Sin embargo, su elevada inercia térmica y los importantes saltos térmicos característicos de gran parte de España plantean la importancia de que aquélla se efectúe por el exterior. A tal respecto, la falta de disponibilidad de espesor suficiente para implantar sistemas tipo SATE deriva en que, frecuentemente, la única solución viable sea la de aislar por el interior perdiendo con ello la capacidad de acumulación térmica del muro y con el asociado riesgo de condensaciones. La amplia tradición en el empleo de revestimientos, especialmente en base de cal, permiten que éstos sean utilizados no sólo como elemento estético o de protección de la obra de fábrica antigua sino también para la mejora del comportamiento térmico del soporte, si se aprovecha el mecanismo de transmisión térmica por radiación. Éste es el objetivo de la presente Tesis Doctoral en la que se estudia la modificación de las propiedades radiantes de los morteros de revestimiento para la mejora de la eficiencia energética de las construcciones históricas, principalmente las constituidas por muros monolíticos, aunque podría ser de aplicación a otro tipo de construcciones compuestas por diversas capas. Como punto de partida, se estudió y revisó la documentación disponible sobre las investigaciones de las tres áreas científico-tecnológicas que convergen en la Tesis Doctoral: rehabilitación, material y comportamiento térmico, a partir de lo cual se comprobó la inexistencia de estudios similares al objeto de la presente Tesis Doctoral. Complementariamente, se analizaron los revestimientos en lo concerniente a los materiales que los constituyen, la composición de las mezclas y características de cada una de las capas así como al enfoque que, desde el punto de vista térmico, se estimaba más adecuado para la obtención de los objetivos propuestos. Basándonos en dichos análisis, se preseleccionaron ochenta materiales que fueron ensayados en términos de reflectancia y emisividad para elegir cuatro con los que se continuó la investigación. Éstos, junto con la cal elegida para la investigación y el árido marmóreo característico de la última capa de revestimiento, fueron caracterizados térmicamente, de forma pormenorizada, así como química y físicamente. Los fundamentos teóricos y los estudios preliminares desarrollados con distintos materiales, en estado fresco y endurecido, fueron empleados en la dosificación de componentes de las mezclas, en dos proporciones distintas, para el estudio del efecto del agregado. Éstas se ensayaron en estado fresco, para comprobar su adecuación de puesta en obra y prever su VI adherencia al soporte, así como en estado endurecido a 28 y 90 días de curado, para conocer las propiedades que permitieran prever su compatibilidad con aquél y estimar el alcance de la reducción de transferencias térmicas lograda. Además, se estudiaron las características generales de las mezclas que sirvieron para establecer correlaciones entre distintas propiedades y entender los resultados mecánicos, físicos (comportamiento frente al agua) y energéticos. Del estudio conjunto de las distintas propiedades analizadas se propusieron dos mezclas, una blanca y otra coloreada, cuyas características permiten garantizar la compatibilidad con la obra de fábrica antigua, desde el punto de vista físico y mecánico, y preservar la autenticidad de los revestimientos, en cuanto a la técnica de aplicación tradicional en sistemas multicapa. El comportamiento térmico de las mismas, sobre una obra de fábrica de 40 cm de espesor, se estimó, en estado estacionario y pseudo-transitorio, demostrándose reducciones del flujo térmico entre 16-48%, en condiciones de verano, y entre el 6-11%, en invierno, en función de la coloración y de la rugosidad de la superficie, en comparación con el empleo de la mezcla tradicional. Por lo que, se constata la viabilidad de los materiales compuestos propuestos y su adecuación al objetivo de la investigación. VII ABSTRACT The envelope is responsible for balancing the energy exchange between the inside and outside in buildings. For this reason, any action aimed at reducing energy consumption must establish, as one of its key priorities, its improvement. In rural areas and urban centers, most of the constructions were built before 1940. In them, the impact of the façade on the global transmittance highlights the need for intervention. However, its high thermal inertia and fluctuation of temperatures in the majority of Spain bring up that it should be placed outside the insulation. In this regard, the lack of availability of enough thickness to implement systems such as ETICS results in that often the only viable solution is to isolate the interior, losing thereby the wall’s heat storage capacity with the associated risk of condensation. The tradition in the use of renders, especially lime-based, allows us to use them not only as an aesthetic element or to protect the ancient masonry, but also for improved thermal performance of the support by taking advantage of the heat transfer mechanism by radiation. This is the aim of this Doctoral Thesis in which the modification of the radiative properties of lime mortars for renders to improve the energy efficiency of historic buildings, mainly composed of monolithic walls, is studied, although it could be applied to other structures composed of several layers. As a starting point, the available literature in the three scientific-technological areas that converge at the Doctoral Thesis: rehabilitation, material and thermal behaviour, was reviewed, and confirmed the absence of researches similar to this Doctoral Thesis. Additionally, the renders were studied with regard to the materials that constitute them, the composition of the mixtures and the characteristics of each layer, as well as to the approach which, from a thermal point of view, was deemed the most suitable for achieving the objectives sets. Based on thre aforementioned analysis, eighty materials tested in terms of reflectance and emissivity were pre-selected, to choose four with which the research was continued. Common marble sand, used in the last layer of the renders, together with the appointed materials and hydrated lime were characterized thermally, in detail, as well as chemically and physically. The theoretical bases and preliminary studies with different materials, in fresh and hardened state, were used in the dosage of the composition of the mixtures. In order to study their effect they were used in two different proportions, that is, ten mixtures in total. These were tested in their fresh state to evaluate their setting-up suitability and foresee their adhesion to the support, as well as in their hardened state, at 28 and 90 days of curing, to establish the properties which enabled us to anticipate their compatibility with the old masonry walls and estimate the scope of the reduction of heat transfers achieved. In addition, the general characteristics of the mixtures used to establish correlations and to understand the mechanical, physical and energy results were studied. Two mixtures, one white and one colored, were proposed as the result of the different properties analysed, whose characteristics allow the guarantee of mechanical and physical compatibility VIII with the old masonry and preserve the authenticity of the renders. The thermal behavior of both, applied on a masonry wall 40 cm thick, was estimated at a steady and pseudo-transient state, with heat flow reductions between 16-48% during summertime and 6-11% during wintertime, depending on the color and surface roughness, compared to the use of the traditional mixture. So, the viability of the proposed composite materials and their fitness to the aim of the research are established.

In the 1994 Mw 6.7 Northridge and 1995 Mw 6.9 Kobe earthquakes, steel moment-frame buildings were exposed to an unexpected flaw. The commonly utilized welded unreinforced flange, bolted web connections were observed to experience brittle fractures in a number of buildings, even at low levels of seismic demand. A majority of these buildings have not been retrofitted and may be susceptible to structural collapse in a major earthquake.
This dissertation presents a case study of retrofitting a 20-story pre-Northridge steel moment-frame building. Twelve retrofit schemes are developed that present some range in degree of intervention. Three retrofitting techniques are considered: upgrading the brittle beam-to-column moment resisting connections, and implementing either conventional or buckling-restrained brace elements within the existing moment-frame bays. The retrofit schemes include some that are designed to the basic safety objective of ASCE-41 Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings.
Detailed finite element models of the base line building and the retrofit schemes are constructed. The models include considerations of brittle beam-to-column moment resisting connection fractures, column splice fractures, column baseplate fractures, accidental contributions from ``simple'' non-moment resisting beam-to-column connections to the lateral force-resisting system, and composite actions of beams with the overlying floor system. In addition, foundation interaction is included through nonlinear translational springs underneath basement columns.
To investigate the effectiveness of the retrofit schemes, the building models are analyzed under ground motions from three large magnitude simulated earthquakes that cause intense shaking in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, and under recorded ground motions from actual earthquakes. It is found that retrofit schemes that convert the existing moment-frames into braced-frames by implementing either conventional or buckling-restrained braces are effective in limiting structural damage and mitigating structural collapse. In the three simulated earthquakes, a 20% chance of simulated collapse is realized at PGV of around 0.6 m/s for the base line model, but at PGV of around 1.8 m/s for some of the retrofit schemes. However, conventional braces are observed to deteriorate rapidly. Hence, if a braced-frame that employs conventional braces survives a large earthquake, it is questionable how much service the braces provide in potential aftershocks.

Seismic risk evaluation of built-up areas involves analysis of the level of earthquake hazard of the region, building vulnerability and exposure. Within this approach that defines seismic risk, building vulnerability assessment assumes great importance, not only because of the obvious physical consequences in the eventual occurrence of a seismic event, but also because it is the one of the few potential aspects in which engineering research can intervene. In fact, rigorous vulnerability assessment of existing buildings and the implementation of appropriate retrofitting solutions can help to reduce the levels of physical damage, loss of life and the economic impact of future seismic events. Vulnerability studies of urban centresshould be developed with the aim of identifying building fragilities and reducing seismic risk. As part of the rehabilitation of the historic city centre of Coimbra, a complete identification and inspection survey of old masonry buildings has been carried out. The main purpose of this research is to discuss vulnerability assessment methodologies, particularly those of the first level, through the proposal and development of a method previously used to determine the level of vulnerability, in the assessment of physical damage and its relationship with seismic intensity.
