Steel construction first appeared in Brazil 50 years ago, but only in the last fifteen years has it been rediscovered by contractors and professionals that have become more interested in this kind of building technology. There are many factors which regulate steel construction development, but incentives are growing in order to increase the steel consumption in civil construction, because this consumption is lower than others countries. Talking about the industrialization of construction, the integrated design is very important and the New Production Philosophy (lean production) is a good reference theory for the design process improvement. Thus, the design process improvement is fundamental to enhance production process efficiency. The characteristics of the product are defined by the design and these characteristics influence production costs. This study starts with an exploratory research, looking through the definition of the case study focus. Aspects like market, costs, technology, planning, productivity, standards, design, waste, quality, labour and problematic topics about steel construction were examined and deficiencies in the design stage were noted. After this, the study investigates two design processes of steel construction projects, analyzing then in accordance with the New Production Philosophy. Finally, this study suggests some actions and policies for improving the design process in steel projects.

The steel-concrete composite structures are systems that involve the interaction of structural steel components with concrete elements to resist external forces. This interaction between steel and concrete should be guaranteed to ensure that loads are supported. As such, adhesion tensions between the concrete and the steel should not be exceeded. In cases where they are, the use of shearing connectors becomes necessary. The influence of the use of shearing connectors in composite columns is greatly undervalued in the majority of scientific papers, with its use recommended only in situations of high vibration. In this paper, the behavior of composite columns is analyzed with the use of shearing connectors taken into consideration through numerical analysis using Ansys programming and based on the finite element method. To achieve this, an ideal model that reflects the situation was adopted permitting as study of the element, the load, and the contour conditions adequate for usage. Composite columns with and without shearing connectors were modeled. A load was applied to each model with varying eccentricity to create an interaction curve defining the moment of flexion in function of normal force. From the interactive curves that were constructed, the importance of the use of shearing connectors was analyzed. This analysis compares results to data supplied by EUROCODE 4(1994) and the influence of different values for maximum adhesion tension of the last load of the composite column.

The understanding of the different deterioration mechanisms, which can attack the concrete, is highly relevant to predict, prevent or minimize the deterioration of the concrete constructions. Among the several deterioration mechanisms of concrete, the biodeterioration is one of the more recently observed. The full description of the biodeterioration of concretes is very complex and involves the necessity for synthesis of information from diverse disciplines and cross specialization. The main objective of this study was to observe the aesthetic and microestructural impacts of the Cladosporium sphaerospermum colonisation on the concrete. mortars. This work includes a literature review of the microstructure of materials, kinds of microorganisms and their metabolisms, types and mechanisms of biodeterioration, preventive measures and treatment against the biodeterioration, and techniques for analysing microstructure of concrete. The methodology used consists of inoculating the concrete mortars with spores of fungus Cladosporium sphaerospermum, which produces a dark and large stain on the surface of the material (aesthetic impact). The impact of the fungus on the material microstructure was evaluated by using the following techniques: XRD, SEM/EDS, TG, DTA, chemical analysis and mineralogical calculation. These techniques allowed detecting the calcium carbonates solubilisation as well as the evidence of the beginning of a chemical biodeterioration of the concrete.

This work presents a study of the net section rupture of bolted flat plates and single angles of steel tension members capacities. The modes of failure of the tension members subjected to static loads and connected with bolts are exposed at first. After that, the mode of failure of rupture of net section is established as the center of interest. A brief report above researches about the subject is presented and the sources of design calculations used by some current specifications are indicated. Afterwards, design calculations for service ability criterion, used by current specifications for laminated, welded and cold formed steel members, are presented and the divergences between those criterions are pointed out. A comparative analysis with numeric examples with laminated and welded members is accomplished, in order to exemplify the specification prescriptions. A numeric simulation of plates with concentric connections and single angles with eccentric connections are realized by the finite element analysis (FEA), in the program Ansys 5.5. After the presentation of the results, procedures to calculate the resistance of the studied models are proposed, and a comparative analysis between the results obtained on the numeric simulation and on the design calculations for service ability criterion is realized, showing the differences between them and indicating the ones that have more approximation with numeric results.

The steel slag or BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace) slag is a by-product generated in integrated steel plants. The use of this material in bases and sub-bases of pavements may present technical, economical and environmental advantages compared to natural aggregates. However, problems, like the expansibility and the deficiency of technical criteria for its acceptance, limit the use of steel slags in pavements. The expansibility of steel slags is mainly generated by hydration of free calcium and magnesium oxides (CaO and MgO). The purpose of this study is to evaluate compaction and expansibility of a steel slag using laboratory tests. And then contributing for definition of technical criteria of expansibility evaluation of this material for use in bases and sub-bases of pavements. The steel slag of this study is originated in a integrated steel plant located in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil. In this work, the laboratory compaction tests were conducted using standard and modified effort, and for the expansibility tests three methods were used: PTM-130/78, JIS 5015/92 and ASTM D 4792/00. The compaction tests of the steel slag did not yield optimum water content, showing the same characteristic of granular materials. Statistical analysis of compaction tests did not show significant differences between two procedures (with and without reuse of material), between two efforts of compaction (standard and modified effort) and between two different samples (with and without treatment for expansion reduction). The statistical analysis of expansibility tests using method PTM-130/78 show that: The water content of compaction was not statistically significant in the expansion results; the influence of the temperature in the expansion results was statistically significant; and the influence of the effort of compaction in the expansion results was statistically significant. Also a technical criterion for acceptance of lots of steel slag is proposed here, using PTM- 130/78 test method. The criterion includes sampling procedure, a statistical significant methodology to calculate the minimum number of specimens and the maximum limit of 3% expansion using PTM-130/78 test method.

The research bring up the discussion about the need of rethinking the living, appropriate to all life phases and not only that produced for the adult-man-pattern, as it is verified nowadays in the practices of the estate market. It is fact that the called third age people is receiving more attention in the part of the researchers of different areas, mainly with the increase in the number of senior people due the increase of life expectation and decrease of the birth rate, but there are still few referring studies to the adaptation of architectural spaces, especially in buildings of apartments. The desire of most people, to live more and more, can result in an extended time of life, marked by incapacities and dependence. The challenge is to get a larger more life with quality. In that sense, the home place, symbol and representation of the social identity of each one, needs to be thought from way to adapt all the stages of the life. This research presents suggestions of a theoretical conceptual model, through the analysis of the physical space of buildings of apartments built/projected in Vitória/ES, tracing a parallel among the ones that are produced/offered for the market and the seniors' needs that request dimensionally and appropriate ambients, specifics for them to in such a way to make them safe and comfortable, allowing them larger independence through the projected spaces by using materials and appropriate accessories, and looking for to assist the functional and physical limitations of the third age. Two apartments were analyzed, being one with the typology of the decade of 1970 and another of the year of 2005, with program of 03 rooms with suite, social bathroom, living room, cooking and service areas. It was established a comparative situation among the current production and considered ideal in terms of adaptation of the physical space for the third age. Through it, it can be proven that with a minimum area increase is possible to produce apartments projected based in the universal drawing.

The assembly facility, flexibility and diversity had made with that the storage racks systems to be widely used in Brazil. These systems normally consist of cold-formed steel members, and the connections of these are made by semi-rigid links, with bolts or not. Its columns are usually open thin walled perforated to accept the rabbet with other members. The design codes of cold-formed steel structures do not could be apply for racks systems for several reasons: verification of global stability, effect of the out-of-plumbness, horizontal and vertical imposed accidentally by transport equipments and the influence of perforations in the columns load capacity. Due these particularities, some manufactures have developed specific procedures for structural verification and design of these systems. The Storage Equipment Manufactures Association (SEMA, England, 1980), the Rack Manufactures Institute (RMI, USA, 1997) and Federation Européene de la Manutetion (FEM, 1996), applied in England, United States and Europe, respectively, are examples of specification developed for design of racks. In this work, experimental analysis in short columns with section had been carried through rack sections with different thicknesses, with and without holes, in order to evaluate the influence of the perforations in the load capacity and the deformations suffer during the test. The experimental results of perforated columns had been compared with RMI procedure and the proposed equation by Sarawit and Peköz (2003). Already for columns without holes, the association was made between the American and Brazilian codes for cold-formed steel structures. And, finally, is considered a new formulation to apply the NBR 14762 to perforated columns, using the effective area design by RMI.

This work aims at developing a mathematical model and a methodological approach for the location of recycling industries of green coconut residuals. The coconut hard cover can cause environmental impacts when discharged along the beaches or in land farming. These residuals can be recycled and transformed into fibres, a qualified and profitable use, that can also generate jobs and revenues. It is of great importance the location study, theme approached in the present study using the following methodological steps: the characterization of the reverse chain logistics of the green coconut; selection of the places that are potential candidates to settle the recycling industries; estimation of the residual amount that is produced, travel distances and costs; development of a model of mixed linear and no linear programming; and choice of the tools for solution of the model. The modeling takes into account the amount of recycling industries, its capacities, the best locations and the corresponding residual distribution, which minimize the costs of installation, operation, stock and transport. Ten scenarios related to the problem were created for Espírito Santo State combining the numbers of industries, capacities and locations, and varying the involved costs, the amount of residues and the life time of the industries. The mathematical model showed to be a quite useful tool for analysis of location problems, due to its operational simplicity as well as the availability in the market of Solver and What´sBest!. As expected, the results agree with the reality of Espírito Santo State concerning the landfill location in the Cariacica district, actual place of destination of the green coconut residuals generated in the Grande Vitória region, being the same chosen in the ten used sceneries.

This paper has the objective of identifying the priority points of the Urban Passengers Transport System by bus within the city of Vitória ES by the passengers, hereafter referred to as `users´, the bus company and the office within the local Government, applying the Quality Function Deployment (QFD), that established the correlation between the company and both the Government body and users perception. From results obtained, it is the intention to give subsidies for the bus company and the Government body in order to prioritize some aspects relating to the quality of service, taking into consideration the users perception in relation to the importance of customer satisfaction. Amongst the stages of the methodology highlights the following: Questionnaire for the customers whereby the levels of customer satisfaction was gauged, and the degree of importance given to each issue found in previous research. Also including correspondence received in customer suggestion boxes was taken into consideration. Meetings taken place with both the employees of the bus company and the government body, whereby the employees identified the items necessary for monitoring and checking, and established its correlation of Quality Demand. From the outcome of both the results of the questionnaire and issues addressed at subsequent meetings, were built the matrix for quality of both Company and Government body, which resulted in the prioritization of monitoring and checking. In relation to the users satisfaction level, the research showed that more than half of those interviewed evaluated the items towards the fleet and crew as ´good´. The response relating to the actual operating of the company had the highest percentage of results identifying rated as ´regular´ ´bad´ and´ ´ very bad´. Also where the items that had the highest number of evaluations were rated ´very important´ and ` important´. In relation to prioritizing the items of the company monitoring, highlighted the items related to index of execution of trips and rate of occupation of the vehicle. In relation to prioritizing of checking by the Government body concluded that it had had three areas highlighted: to assure the accomplishment of the constant trips in the Orders of Service of Operation and to assure that the schedule of exit and arrival of the vehicles are accomplished. A further priority raised was the penalty which would be applied to the company in the event of a violation of the items being checked. Through this prioritization was observed a difference of point of view between the users and the Government body regarding the quality of service provided by the bus company. This indicated the necessity of a review of priorities of the Government body and the afore mentioned company.

The application of dynamic analysis in structures is growing together with the new technologies of construction. Knowledge about the behavior of materials and its consequent optimized usage allow making structures more and more slender. This tendency of design are leading to structures systems with natural frequencies much and much lower and, therefore closer to the frequency of the dynamic excitation associated to the human beings activities, such as: walking, running and jumping. As a consequence, dynamic loads due to human rhythmic activities can be enough to cause frequencies near the resonance, making the system sufficiently vulnerable to the effects of vibrations, exceeding the recommended limits for human comfort, resulting in discomfort for people. This work intends to study the behavior of composite floor systems (steel-concrete), subjected to human rhythmic activities like aerobic activities and free jumps. For such, analysis in composite floor models will be done using the Finite Element Method (FEM). It was considered the usual techniques of discretization using the computer program Ansys. The beams are simulated by finite elements considering flexion and torsion effects. The concrete floors are simulated by elements with membrane capability. The dynamics loads were modeling using diferents metodologies. One of these, uses experimental parameters that considere effects produced by crowds, and other, use parameters from international recomendations. Later, the results obtained, in terms of the maximums accelerations (peaks accelerations), are confronted and compared to those supplied by the technical literature available about the subject, from the point of view of human comfort. The results obtained in this study show that composite floors analyzed are submitted to high accelerations that can be cause problems, because exceed the limits associated to the human comfort.

Rail transportation typically demands large investment in rolling-stock and infrastructure and is also known for its good fuel efficiency when compared to other modes of transportation. In spite of good fuel efficiency, fuel consumption is still responsible for a significant part of variable costs. This has motivated railroads to improve technology and operational practices which may reduce fuel consumption. An optimization model with focus in rolling stock and fuel consumption was developed in order to help tactical planning of railroad freight transportation with an integrated view of the network (line and yard operations). The model development was guided for application in the iron ore transportation performed by a well-known Brazilian railroad. Different predefined train consist options are operated simultaneously from eleven mines toward an export terminal. Three intermediate terminals may be used to combine train consists. The model helps decision making process related to which trains (services) should run, how frequently and what should be the sequence of activities to be performed from origin to destination of freight. This kind of problem is known as service network design. It is possible to choose between long or short trains (by changing service frequency), as well as direct train connections or more than one train between terminals. Line and yard congestions were modeled and led to an integer nonlinear formulation, solved by software which uses a branch-and-bound based method. The solutions found considered the tradeoff between yard and line costs. Finally, results are discussed and vary according to different approaches for the objective function.

This work aims at evaluating the degradation state in concretes located in a production unit at a steel plant, which were submitted to long periods of exposure to high temperature cycles from production process, by researching the effects on their physical and mechanical properties, and also the changes on their microstructure. In order to develop this experimental program, 2 lots of concrete samples were molded: the first one with compressive strength characteristic (fck) ≥ 30 MPa and water and cement relation w/c ≤ 0,55; the second one with compressive strength characteristic (fck) ≥ 40 MPa and water and cement relation w/c ≤ 0,45. These samples were exposed to similar termic cycles periods, placed at specific locations in the steel plant where high temperatures were identified on concrete structures from steel production process. During the evaluation period, the concrete samples were submitted to the same termic cycles that concrete structures are exposed. In addition, some control concrete samples were molded with the same technical features, but these ones were stored in water saturated with lime, in a room with temperature control in order to compare the result of both tests. After this step, all the concrete samples were submitted to laboratory tests for verification of compressive strength, elastic modulus, quantity of voids, water absorption, carbonation depth, adhesion of steel bar and microstructure verification. As a result, it was possible to observe that the termic cycles caused changes at concrete properties in the evaluated concrete samples. These changes provided the understanding of concrete state of degradation in several locations at a steel plant where there are high temperature cycles acting on the concrete.

Most residential buildings do not take into consideration environmental issues. It have been decided to study the issue and make a project test, that means, a original project in preliminary stage, of a residential condominium in Serra, Espirito Santo, with sustainable features considering the nature, the local climate, social, cultural, and economic aspects. To prepare the test were considered environmental strategies based on LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for new buildings. This essay serves as a starting point for further research to achieve an architecture that considers the climate and the Brazilian cultural, social and economic necessities, taking advantage of the existing natural wealth in order to meet the huge housing demand quantitatively and qualitatively.

The transportation management is fundamental to maintaining the company’s competitiveness seeing that transport represents around 60% of total logistics cost. It is also known that the transportation mode in Brazil is highly concentrated on the road transportation and one of the most significant costs for the trucking companies is the fuel cost. In this context, this dissertation presents the development of a mathematic model, based on concepts of operations research, which optimizes the fuel cost in the road freight transportations and assists the company’s decision making on refueling policy choices. Basically, in order to reduce the total cost, this model analyzes the fuel prices variations in a road network and, thereby, defines routes, gas stations and the ideal quantities of fuel to be refueled. Therefore, to assist the development of this model, the research raises the impact of the fuel cost on trucking companies and the majors academics articles related the refueling optimization. It was observed that this model can help the truckload companies in reducing their costs, and, consequently, to contribute to their competitiveness.

The use of the lean manufacturing system is well known, but its application in logistics is a recent practice that can bring many benefits such as improved quality and productivity, minimize costs and reduce waste in processes. This study has the target to analyze the existence of correlation between the seven types of lean waste (overproduction, processing, storage, transport, handling, waiting and defects) and the primary activities of the logistics (order processing, inventory and transportation). To rescue the theoretical work, this dissertation begins with a literature review on the key concepts covered in the survey: logistics, lean thinking, lean logistics and performance indicators. To achieve the proposed objective was chosen the case study (carried out in a company providing road transportation of cargo). As an instrument of data collection used the semi-structured interview based on a preestablished, indirect observation, analysis of records and documents of the company studied and the preparation of flow chart of current value. For the treatment of data we used structural equation modeling, adopting the method of application of Hair et al (2009) suggests a process in which development of six stages. The existence of the correlation was evident in the correlation matrix and change model, in which new relationships were made and provided new adjustment indicators, obtaining a satisfactory model.

The increasing competition among the supply chains generated by economic globalization and technological innovation has required logistics networks becoming increasingly complex. Thus, planning of logistics networks has become increasingly important and the location of facilities a strategic issue in search of competitive advantage. This study is included in a stream of research about the facilities location theory and aims to analyze a logistics network established by setting the amount and location of one or more distribution centers to minimize the total costs associated with the chain as a whole, without compromising the level of service. To this end, a nonlinear programming model is proposed in order to solve a real problem of a company in the oil sector. It also proposed a method of analysis for facility location problems, which lists the main steps to be followed. Finally, it presents a sensitivity analysis in order to obtain managerial insights, where various scenarios will be generated and optimized. The results obtained by computer simulation using the AIMMS software were adequate to solve the proposed problem, with the conclusions reached in agreement with the literature.

Tourism becomes a sector of more important time for the economic and social development of a country, contributing for the reduction of disparity of the regions and favoring for its growth. The transport service, as well as road infrastructure is essential part of the tourism in order to promote movement of tourists to the intended destination. The economic and social importance of the tourism sector has given rise to the need to study methods that can measure the power of attraction of their tourists destinations, beyond the efficiency in attracting investment in tourism in relation to investment in roads leading to these destinations. This paper presents a dissertation proposal which aims to apply the general methodology of Data Envelopment Analysis to measure the efficiency in the capture of Tourism Investment in relation to Investment in Highways in Tourist Routes of the Espírito Santo, and thus assistance the government in making decisions so that minimum standards of quality of road infrastructure and tourism are warranted to users. For this study were analyzed 87 stretches road linking Vitória to each urban community that compose these Courses. The stretch were divided into two groups due to the difference in the traffic volume with the primary reason the double track. Analyzes of the two groups and of the results achieved were made, and finally the conclusion of this paper is presented with proposals for future works.

The Brazilian civil construction has grown effectively in the last decade due to the increased demand combined with the government social programs, in order to improve infrastructure and reduce the housing deficit. Another factor related to such growth is that Brazil shall host big sportive events, and it has been prepared to do so. As a result, the country has become a construction site. Although the growth production goes fast, its quality improvement does not follow the same standard. The construction techniques commonly used in Brazil are obsolete though some buildings are built with advanced technology. This study leads to a constructive technique, the precast in concrete, which aims to promote the rationalization and industrialization of civil construction, aiming to gain speed and quality in construction among other benefits. A short historical in building activity is presented from pre-history to the current Brazilian construction. Since then, its characteristics are analyzed, and we describe the precast in concrete within its advantages, as well as some aspects of its production and application. From that point, are listed and analyzed some aspects that have caused obstacles to greater use of industrialized building systems, the precast concrete system. Issues as previously presented are related to segments which are directly related to civil construction, the public sector, the productive sector and the professional sector. For each segment functions will be presented in this important sector. Finally, some proposals are presented in the areas of public policy, sustainability and quality of the final product in pursuit of providing the expanded use of precast concrete system.

This dissertation presents an operational capacity analysis of a port terminal fertilizer, considering the current infrastructure, the operational characteristics and future scenarios, aiming to support a better use of resources of the terminal. The proposed method consisted of the operational characterization of port terminal, identification of relevant variables for the model development, data collection and analysis. Was used the Rockwell Arena simulation software for the construction of the simulation model representing the port operation, and the model was validated for the current conditions. Based on the operational model, six alternative scenarios were generated, with changes in the rate of arrival of ships, cars and trucks, causing changes in volumes of incoming and outgoing cargo. By analyzing the results it was concluded that changes in the increased movements of ships, cars and trucks and increased storage capacity proposed in some scenarios are viable, and in other scenarios the increase in demand puts at risk the level of service the entire port system, due to the generation of queues and excessive waiting time in queue, beyond the limited capacity of some resources.

Problems that deal with wheelchair users’ public transportation are often solved by Dial a Ride Problem (DARP) with time window (Time Window – TW). The goal of this type of problem is the minimization of the operation cost, in other words, the ride time respecting constraints like time windows for pickup and delivery of each user, the number of vehicles available and each vehicle capacity. This thesis proposes an exact Mixed Integer Linear Program model to solve the DARPTW. In order to apply the model in a real application, the model was tested with data provided by the Vitória City Hall Infrastructure and Transportation Secretary. The model was implemented using CPLEX software and the results showed that instances up to 20 wheelchair users’ can be solved optimally. Moreover, it was done an analysis for fleet used.
