The digital transformation is still little consolidated in Brazilian society. Improvements in performance and differentiation resulting of such transformation have not yet been fully absorbed in companies and in the public administration. In general, solutions required for implementing the digital transformation in cities and in manufacturing processes combine advanced connectivity and au…
Tunnel infrastructures are located in environments with high levels of aggression towards structural elements and materials that make up the massif, and have a projected service life of about a century. Therefore, they are constructions that are connected to degradation phenomena, which are associated with fatigue resulting from service demands, chemical and physical weathering, and fortu…
Tensile strength and modulus of elasticity are important characteristics of rock particles used in rockfill constructions. These properties are commonly determined from specimens taken from the matrix rock. Due to quarry operations for taking rockfill blocks, these properties are modified. Since it is necessary to reduce the material gradation for laboratory test in granular media, it is …
Due to the growing efforts for achieving a sustainable development, the wind energy displays an important role worldwide. As a result of the increasing size of wind turbines and wind towers, the onshore wind turbine foundations will be subjected to higher static and cyclic forces and, therefore, the use of pile group foundations will be more recurrent. This group of piles transfers the lo…
Discontinuities such as, joints, bedding planes, shale, zones of alteration or failure reduce the shear strength of the rock mass (Hoek & Brown, 1980) and (Barton, 1986). In general, this reduction of resistance affects the stability of excavations, located in a rocky massif. When a rock block enters a shear situation, there is a dilatancy in the direction perpendicular to the plane of th…

The internationalization of the research aims to advance infrastructure management, with a focus on tunnels, through the integration of advanced digital modeling technologies and Bayesian optimization. Tunnels play a crucial role in transportation networks and societal well-being, yet the efficient management of these structures faces challenges due to aggressive environments and the comp…
Today Brazilian electricity production depends on hydropower plants. When there is drought, thermal power plants are activated, which are not only costly but also contribute to air pollution. It is necessary to diversify energy sources and, for this reason, the use of wind energy is fundamental for the Brazilian energy matrix. The use of wind energy with modern wind turbines is recent in …
