Rovisco Pais, 1,1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal; [email protected] ABSTRACT: This work studied the theme of Slope Stability, based on a certain set of written works on proper methods to apply in certain situations, such as in containment works. The study aimed, in particular, the implementation of a Slope stabilization work. Over six months, we had the opportunity to experience the course of a work from the beginning to the end, and all decisions and setbacks that have emerged derived from several factors, climatic and construction, among others. Over the course of the work, there has been two specific construction technologies in particular an implementation of a curtain of bored piles on the ground, supported by buttresses and other, related to the execution of micropiles, as passive reinforcement solution. The methodology used was through direct contact with the completion of the work By employing the computer software Plaxis, it was estimated deformation values and elaborated a comparative analysis. The results showed that accompanied intervention contributed to improving the stability on the slope, proven by comparative analysis of the displacements obtained in Plaxis, for interventions. KEY-WORDS: Slope stability, bored piles wall, micro-piles, modeling. 1. INTRODUCTION The population mobility nowadays has been of increasing importance to the governing organisms. The population growth along with the better life conditions, based on the each time more frequent everyday technological innovations made the families turn their concerns towards the comfort and well-being domains, which were unreachable before. Adding to that fact, the matter of an existing time pressure on today’s population, life style, leads to a big time spent on travels as well as a big percentage of the day life. This way, it’s important to maintain the roads pathways in best operation for its users. Thus, this study portrays the monitoring of the execution work for the stabilization of a road platform, in the proximity of Bucelas, between Km 68+850 and 69+000, through re-profiling of the slope, with the execution of a curtain of bored piles, complemented by reinforcements of the existing estabilization structures, using passive solutions, materialized by micro-piles. The same slope had already been target of interventions before, which did not fully solve the stability problem. A comparative analysis, based on estimated values through numeric modeling, was also made, in order to confirm the improvements imposed in the slope by the new solution, relative to the previous interventions. 2. CASE STUDY: N115, Km 68+850 TO Km 69+000, Near Bucelas – Slope Stability 2.1. GENERAL FRAMEWORK The slope in study, is located near Bucelas, Loures, Portugal, on a national road, EN115, concerning the Km 68+850 to 69+000, as shown on . The job intends to re- profile the slope, in order to improve its overall stability. EN115 N ZONE IN STUDY Figure 1 - Description of the zone being studied (GOOGLE MAPS) The intervention on the slope consisted of a group of 3 proposed solutions, on which one of them was new construction and the other two, reinforcements of the existing structures. The new construction dictated the execution of a curtain of bored piles, with buttresses composed by HEB 160 profiles, both founded on the competent ground. Regarding the reinforcements, both using micro-piles, replacing the existing anchored structures, wherein the load verified a continued loss, as will be seen later on. On Figure 2 are represented, as plant, the localization of the solutions. Estrada Figure 2 - Description of the group of solutions to execute, as plant. 2.1. RESTRICTIONS 2.2.1 Geological and Geotechnical Nature According to the geological investigation works, made over the various phases of the intervention on the slope, all of them were able to confirm that the existing ground in the zone affected by instability belonged to the Mesozoic Era, corresponding to the Late Jurassic, denominated by J4-5. The present ground was composed by marl and limestone, showed a stratification composed by the alternating of marl levels and marly clays, with limestone essentially marly. It was also observed that the solid limestone was fragmented by two families of fractures: one of which with sub-parallel direction to the stratification, but with opposed incline, and the other with a virtually perpendicular direction to the ones before. It was still possible to verify that the existence of the fractures allowed the percolation of water on them. The geotechnical characterization allowed to resume the following values which characterize the geotechnical zoning obtained, Table 1, and used to future analysis. The geotechnical zoning divided the soil in 4 distinct layers. The superficial layer constituted by landfills (ZG1), with approximately 1 meter thick, supported by a layer of clay (ZG2), of varying thickness, until around 7,5 meters deep. The solid competent and stable marly limestone (ZG4), was found under the layer of clay, its thickness being unknown. It was still possible to verify the insurgence of a layer composed by marl ZG3, of varying thickness between 0,5 to 1 meter, on the interface between the layer of clay and the solid marly limestone.

Therefore, the intervention to be executed on the slope accounted for all the existing structures, minimizing the impact on the structures and in the optimal functioning of the EN115, as observed on Figure 1. 2.2. BRIEF HISTORY As mentioned before, the present case of study had already been target of two interventions, 1st and 2nd phases, which will be described then. At beginning of 2001, the slope in study registered significant movement, and even leading to the interruption of traffic on said road, as illustrated on Figure 3. Figure 3 - Boundary of the zone where the incident occurred. The main cause of the incident occurred was the water, which by infiltrating the terrain formed a flow and raised the interstitial pressures, lowering the effective tensions on the terrain, as well as the softening of the soils, leading to the diminishing of the resistance to the soil cut. On Figure 4, it is possible to observe the destabilizing action of the water on the slope. Alrota Slope RIVER Actual position of tree Original position of EN115 Original position of tree Actual position of EN115 Water Flow Figure 4 - Triggering action of the water destabilization. A set of solutions mainly of hydraulic character was executed, between 2001 and 2005, corresponding to the 1st and 2nd phases, constituted by anchored retaining structures, along the passage of the road platform, network drainage, constituted by trenches, of forwarding and capture of the water, and finally, a retaining structure formed by gabions, as seen on Figure 5. Figure 5 - Executed solutions project of 1st and 2nd phases. 2.3 PROJECT 3RD PHASE Taking into account the efficiency of the previous structures, corresponding to the 1st and 2nd phases considering the use of ground anchors and drainage trenches, since the main destabilizing factor was the water. Although, the present monitoring on the ground anchors, showed a continuous evolution on the loss of load, as Figure 6 proves, from the end of the intervention until November 2010. LOAD (kN) Figure 6 - Description of the evolution of load on the anchors. This way, facing what was exposed before, the solution of intervention on the project of 3rd phase was restricted by not considering the ground anchors, since the solutions before did not show the ability to improve the system of slope stabilization. Therefore, the solution of intervention proposed by the project of the 3rd phase, integrated the realization of a curtain of bored piles, of φ1000 diameter, with the centers spaced by 2 meters, with buttresses, both solutions founded on the competent ground ZG4. The curtain of bored piles was completed by the installation of gabion baskets on the space between the buttresses, as well as a drainage system, composed by vertical drains, and containment and water boilers. On the other hand, reinforcement solutions were still part of said intervention, using micro-piles founded on the competent ground (ZG4), of the anchored structures, which were still losing load. On Figure 7 are illustrated the solutions executed by the 3rd phase project. Estrada Figure 7 - Set of integrating solutions on 3rd phase. 2.5. MODELING A numeric modeling analysis was also executed, with the intent of comparing the solutions imposed on the slope, by the projects of the 1st and 2nd phases and the 3rd phase, to confirm if there was any improvement imposed by the solution of the 3rd phase. The comparative analysis based on the displacement values of the road platform, estimated by the software Plaxis, in which were defined the geometry shown on Figure 8. The referred model is composed by the soil layers, parameterized according to the values on Table 1, and by the existing structures on the slope, executed over all the interventions of which it was target. ZG1 ZG2 ZG4 ZG3 Figure 8 - Geometry of the model used on the numeric modeling. Regarding the solution finalized by the intervention of 1st and 2nd phases, it was obtained a maximum displacement, on the road platform of around 3 cm.

Portuguese sailors of the ship S.Gabriel celebrated their return to Portugal after having discovered the sea route to the Indies by enjoying Bucelas wine. During Shakespeare time, Bucelas wine became very popular with the British royal court as well throughout England. The wine called ”charneco”, named after a small village in Bucelas, is mentioned in Sharkespeare’s Henry the VI play, part 2, writen in 1594. A unique terroir made of limestone and marl, a hillside facing south-east under the influence of the atlantic ocean, for a very fine fresh wine : Quinta da Murta, tucked away in gentle chalky hills of Bucelas region, is located 25 km North East Lisbon, in the Basin Lusitanica dating from upper Jurassic, lower Tithonian (Portlandian). The Soil is formed of calcareous marl, crystalline limestone with numerous presence of fossils trigonia, ostrea and various bivalves such as buchotrigonia freixialensis and the foraminifer anchispirocyclina lusitanica. All contribute to a very fine mineralite with shell note, roundness and suppleness of the wine. The vineyards are all planted on high slope, south and south-east exposition, at 250 meters altitude, protected from Atlantic westerlies winds by a ridge of hills.

  • Leading Lisbon Against Carbon Emissions a Paradigm Shift in Urban Mobility
    Susana Carvalho, Nuno Domingues, Jorge Lucas, Afonso Sebastião, Leading Lisbon against carbon emissions, 45th ISOCARP Congress 2009 Leading Lisbon against carbon emissions A paradigm shift in Urban Mobility Introduction and Framework One of the EU concerns transmitted in the Commission Communication of 15 May 2001 – Sustainable Development in Europe for a Better World: European Union Strategy, in favour of sustainable development, states that “Traffic congestion has been increasing rapidly and is reaching a situation of paralysis. This phenomenon essentially affects urban areas which are also facing other problems such as, for example, city centre degradation, expansion of suburban areas and concentration of serious poverty and social exclusion”. The Stockholm European Council, in March 2001, determined that the Lisbon Strategy should be completed with the inclusion of an environmental dimension, thus bringing together the three dimensions of sustainable development - economic development, social cohesion and environmental protection. This policy guideline was put into practice by the Gothenburg European Council in June 2001, with the adoption of the EU sustainable development strategy, which recognised the need for urgent action to be taken in four priority intervention areas: climate change, sustainable transport, public health risks and natural resources. An increase in internal wealth of a country leads to an increase in car ownership, given that cars are associated with a certain social status. However, it can be seen that in countries with a higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP) people are more environmentally aware, opting in much larger percentages for the use of public transport (PT). In Portugal, there has been a reduction in the annual rate of increase in wealth production since 2000; this, however, has not been accompanied by a corresponding reduction in primary energy consumption and in greenhouse gas emissions ( Relatório de Estado do Ambiente, 2006 ).

  • Explanatory Variables of Road Traffic in Portugal Industrial Engineering
    Explanatory Variables of Road Traffic in Portugal João Diogo Martins Lopes Barata Dissertation submitted to obtain the Master Degree in Industrial Engineering and Management Jury Chairman: Prof. Rui Miguel Loureiro Nobre Baptista Supervisor: Prof. Maria Margarida Martelo Catalão Lopes de Oliveira Pires Pina Member: Prof. João Manuel Marcelino Dias Zambujal de Oliveira November 2012 2 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Margarida Catalão and Engineer Francisco Esteves, for their invaluable assistance throughout this dissertation. Without their insight, vision, effort, knowledge and moral support this dissertation would have been a difficult task. 3 Abstract During the last years Portuguese passenger and goods transport has been growing at a larger rate than GDP. Also, road traffic has increased its market share as compared with other transportation means. Several factors may justify this evolution, being some on transport supply while others on transport demand. For supply, improved accessibility conditions (modals, quality, time, and cost), while for demand socioeconomic factors (population, employment, GDP, income, fuel price) seem to play a key role. Although there exists several evidence concerning which factors have been shaping demand evolution, quantification lacks research. One difficulty for this task is the nonexistence of a unique database with Portuguese road traffic statistics. Also, available data do not have the same time horizon or statistical confidence. In this study a characterization of demand evolution based on fuel sales statistics is suggested, given that his information is available for broad time horizons and is territorially disaggregated. These statistics are also compatible with socioeconomical official ones published by official entities. Model results point out per capita values of gross domestic product, gross value added, compensation of employees and employment, alongside with fuel price, as key determinants for road traffic in Portugal.

The influx of new people and things rapidly transformed it into a multicultural country in permanent contact with the rest of Europe and the wider world. While we possess a vast amount of knowledge describing the overseas contacts and acquisition of goods from historical documents, in recent years archaeological excavations have begun to reveal direct evidence of these interactions. This includes thousands of people and objects such as ceramics, ivory and stone artefacts produced in overseas territories in Africa, South America and Asia.
