Geotechnical Characterization in Lisbon and Surrounding Counties for Earthquake Engineering Proposes
13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering Vancouver, B.C., Canada August 1-6, 2004 Paper No. 2288 GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION IN LISBON AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES FOR EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING PROPOSES Paula TEVES-COSTA1, 2 and Isabel M. ALMEIDA2, 3 SUMMARY The geotechnical soil characterization of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area and Adjacent Counties was based on the analysis of data obtained from geotechnical boreholes, geophysical methods, and laboratory analysis. In order to characterize their seismic behaviour, the soils in this area were classified in 4 different classes. Linear modelling was performed for all soil types, and non-linear modelling for the most vulnerable soil type. The most vulnerable situations were identified, corresponding, in practice, to an increase of 1 or 2 degrees in the observed seismic intensity. INTRODUCTION Through its history, Portugal mainland has experienced the effects of various moderate to strong earthquakes, thus presenting a moderate seismic risk, more important in the Lisbon and Lower Tagus Valley, and Algarve regions. In consequence, the National Civil Protection Service promoted a study of the seismic risk in the Lisbon metropolitan area and adjacent counties, involving technicians and researchers from various institutions. In the adopted methodology, the parish was considered as the analysis unit, and the location of the Parish Board representative of the total parish. The geotechnical soil characterization is of the utmost importance for seismic risk assessment, being used, in particular, for site effect assessment. Those effects may be defined as phenomena originating significant changes in the seismic movement in a given location, increasing the seismic intensity observed by 1 or 2 degrees. -

Quantification of Subsidence Rates Associated with Groundwater Flow Using Sar Interferometry J
QUANTIFICATION OF SUBSIDENCE RATES ASSOCIATED WITH GROUNDWATER FLOW USING SAR INTERFEROMETRY J. Catalao (1), G. Nico(2), V. Conde(1), J.M. Miranda(1) (1)IDL, Universidade Lisboa, Campo Grande , Portugal, Email:[email protected] (2)CNR-IAC, Bari, Italy, Email:[email protected] ABSTRACT estimated by InSAR, and the temporal evolution of the deformation and possible cause. In this work we present the results of an experiment to detect a subsidence phenomenon by SAR interferometry in the city of Lisbon, Portugal. A time series of ERS and ENVISAT-ASAR images, covering four different time periods, was acquired over the Lisbon city and processed by the Persistent Scatterers (PS) technique. Furthermore, a topographic survey was carried out in the urban area interested by the subsidence phenomenon at different times, 1976, 1996 and 2010. An interpretation of terrain deformations using also measurements of piezometric heads, geotechnical reports of the underground and building constructions is given. 1. INTRODUCTION Figure 1.

Through Four Seasons Eyes the Insightful Guide for Enlightened Travel There’S No Doubt About It: Lisbon Gets Under Your Skin
Lisbonthrough Four Seasons eyes THE INSIGHTFUL GUIDE FOR ENLIGHTENED TRAVEL There’s no doubt about it: Lisbon gets under your skin. I moved here over a decade ago with my wife, with a view to staying for two years; now I don’t think we’ll ever leave. I love the way the city’s multiple identities beat with the same equable heart; how it’s both seductively stylish and sublimely serene. I love the cramped little houses of Alfama and the sprawling expanse of Belém; the forests and beaches, the surfing and wineries. I love the trams and the way the evening light shrouds the buildings in a warm glow; and how everything in and around the city somehow seems more vibrant, more alive… This guidebook was itself inspired by the ever-changing faces of Lisbon. Tired of guides that were only updated annually at best, we set about creating an insightful, up-to-the-minute log of the very best of Lisbon’s hotspots and hideaways, food and wine, history and culture to help our guests make the most of every moment of their stay, whether they’re with us for two days or two weeks. My thanks go to Mariana Rebelo de Sousa and Mario de Castro for their unwavering input, as well as to our guests, staff and friends for their many contributions. We’re constantly updating the information you’re about to read so please don’t hesitate to contact us with your top tips for future inclusion, or news on ‘no-longer-so-hot’-spots contained within. -
Police Stations, Urban Space, and Bureaucracy in Lisbon, C. 1850-1910
Technologies of Government: Police Stations, Urban Space, and Bureaucracy in Lisbon, c. 1850-1910 Gonçalo Rocha Gonçalves1 Abstract The evolution of police stations reveals crucial aspects in the modern development of the police force and of policing practices in general. The spatial rationalities involved in the territorialization of the State, the formation of different spaces where the sociocultural and technical dynamics of the police were engendered, and the emergence of places through which communities could visualize and interact with the State were all major components of this process. This article seeks to examine these issues, assessing their significance for the working lives of policemen and for the interactions between the police and the local population in Lisbon in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Keywords Police; State-Building; Territorialization; Bureaucracy; Lisbon Resumo As esquadras de polícia sinalizam aspetos cruciais do moderno desenvolvimento da polícia e do policiamento. As racionalidades espaciais na territorialização do Estado, o engendramento das dinâmicas socioculturais e técnicas que marcaram as forças policiais e o surgimento de "lugares" através dos quais a sociedade visualizou e interagiu com o Estado foram componentes essenciais deste processo. Este artigo procura examinar estas questões, avaliando sua importância nas vidas de trabalho dos polícias e nas interações entre a polícia e a população em Lisboa no final do século XIX e início do século XX. Palavras-Chave Polícia; Construção do Estado; Territorialização; Burocracia; Lisboa 1 Department of History. Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
