Utilização de sismógrafos de engenharia como ferramenta no controle de qualidade de acessórios de detonação não elétricos

Nesse artigo, são apresentados os trabalhos realizados com o objetivo de verificar se a elevada dispersão dos valores de velocidade de partícula obtidos durante monitoramentos de vibrações decorrentes de desmontes de rocha com a utilização de explosivos, em mineração localizada no município de Limeira (SP), vinculava-se a variações nos tempos dos elementos de retardo dos acessórios de detonação em relação aos nominais. Os experimentos foram realizados em janeiro e junho de 2004. O procedimento adotado para estimar os tempos de retardo de acessórios de detonação não elétricos redundou em resultados que apresentam consistência, necessitando, porém, de estudos mais aprofundados. Os dados obtidos indicam a necessidade de considerar sua ocorrência quando da elaboração de planos de fogo, por suas implicações: ambientais, que inclui aspectos relativos à segurança e econômicas.

Estudio de vibraciones en una cantera de caliza con empleo de detonadores electrónicos

El proyecto refleja el estudio de vibraciones entre dos voladuras, una iniciada con detonadores no eléctricos y otra iniciada con detonadores electrónicos, con aproximadamente la misma cantidad de explosivos y situadas en el mismo punto, en una explotación ubicada al sureste de la Comunidad de Madrid en el término municipal de Morata de Tajuña. Es una explotación en la que se extrae caliza mediante arranque por voladura utilizando como carga base una emulsión y como carga columna anfo. En la cantera suelen realizarse dos voladuras cada mes. El estudio de vibraciones se realizó debido a las quejas de los vecinos ante la onda aérea que producían las voladuras y las posibles grietas en estructuras cercanas a la explotación. ABSTRACT The project reflects the study of vibrations between two blasts, one started with nonelectric detonators and other with electronic detonators, with approximately the same amount of explosives placed in the same spot, on a quarry located at southeast of the Community of Madrid the town of Morata de Tajuña. It is a quarry where limestone is extracted by blasting using as base charge an emulsion, and ANFO as column charge. The quarry do two blast per month. The study of vibrations it´s did to the complains of the neighbors to the aerial wave that it´s produce by the blasts and possible cracks in the structures near at the quarry.

Imaginários da morte: poética das imagens em cemitérios brasileiros

The thesis presented is committed to a poetic reading that results in the creation of meaning and images of the death from the various cultural practices and symbolic representations exposed in urban cemeteries in some Brazilian cities, aiming to give visibility to new understandings about the imaginary of the in the contemporary scene. Death, therefore, will be seen as a imagining condition of anthroposwhen starts itself from the prerogative of the human consciousness of death (MORIN, 1970), in other words, this awareness that man has he will die and that triggers reflections about their existence allows the emergence of a number of practices such as: mourning, funeral rituals and the creation of several impregnated representations of human emotions emerged from the death facing the man and present, in a more evident form in cemeterial spaces. For this, it focuses on the conflictuous dimension that man establishes with death, because the cultural practices and symbolic representations observed in the research field are the result of this conflict and allow the expansion of the senses about this issue, to the extent that these are coated with a fantastic aura, mystical, secret, spooky, fearful, religious, building a complex imagination. The general plan of this study is to discuss and create, from a phenomenology of imagination and materials / dynamics imagination, as well as along the lines treated by Gaston Bachelard, images of death, from a field experience in cemeteries in Brazil. For this, it is assumed, to observe the cultural practices and symbolic representations in these spaces, a posture able to make the experience into the search field a moment of symbolic exchanges and creation. Thus, it was used observation, conversations with visitors and employees of the cemeteries and the capture of photographic records. The data produced as a fragment of a conversation, a tearful outburst about the loss of a relative, a melancholic epitaph, a flower on the grave or a cry captured by photography were seen as detonators of meanings and a poetic of the imagination.
