  • Crashworthiness of the Douro Waterway Lock Gates and Potential
    Crashworthiness of the Douro Waterway Lock Gates and Potential Improvements André Sequeira Guedes Tristany Farinha Thesis to obtain the Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering Supervisors: Prof. Luís Filipe Galrão dos Reis Prof. Luís Alberto Gonçalves de Sousa Examination Committee: Chairperson: Prof. João Orlando Marques Folgado Supervisors: Luís Alberto Gonçalves de Sousa Member of the committee: Marta Isabel Pimenta Verdete da Silva Carvalho November 2016 ii Agradecimentos Os meus sinceros agradecimentos aos meus orientadores: professores Luís Reis e Luís Sousa, pela sua disponibilidade e apoio no decorrer deste projecto, conselhos técnicos e viagens para a LTU. Uma nota de agradecimento ao engenheiro José Varandas pelos dados fornecidos e pelo feedback sobre o meu trabalho. Como não poderia deixar de ser um sincero obrigado à equipa do projecto PSEM por aturarem 6 meses de nula contribuição para o projecto mas de longa ocupação de espaço e recursos. Em especial ao Frederico e ao Mário pelos conselhos e companhia durante escrita da dissertação. Finalmente agradeço à minha família pelo ânimo e apoio prestado ao logo destes longos anos de estudo e compreensão por ausências prolongadas. iii iv Resumo A recente tendência de aumento do tráfego de navios no rio Douro e a possível reactivação das minas de ferro em Moncorvo forneceram o necessário impulso para se iniciarem os estudos preliminares sobre a modernização da via navegável. Desde a construção das eclusas no Douro que a tonelagem máxima permitida aos navios foi aumentada de 2200 para 2900 toneladas, é então evidente que a resistência das comportas nas eclusas a impactos de navios tem de ser reavaliada em face das circunstâncias actuais.
