The Lisbon and Lower Tagus Valley area have suffered the effect of historical earthquakes that caused important damages and loss of lives. Some of these earthquake sources are local but they are still poorly known due to the difficulty in finding geological outcrops, together with low-slip rates and erosion/sedimentation processes that erase surface ruptures. Identification of seismogenic sources capable of pro...
O Vale Inferior do Tejo (VIT) tem sofrido os efeitos de sismos históricos. Algumas das fontes sismogénicas são conhecidas. Com vista a uma avaliação correcta das fontes sismogénicas em futuros estudos de perigosidade sísmica, integraram-se dados de reflexão sísmica, com dados de métodos potenciais e dados de epicentros relocalizados. As informações recolhidas a partir dos parâmetros das falhas irão ajudar à ...
Estudos levados a cabo na zona da falha de Carcavai revelaram a ocorrência de deformações (fracturação e filões detríticos) em sedimentos plio-quaternários, indicando actividade neotectónica. A generalidade das fracturas aparenta corresponder à expressão superficial secundária da actividade naquela zona de falha. Os dados adquiridos apontampara uma zona de falha complexa de desligamento esquerdo, com compone...
Oak timber is valuated for its beauty, good mechanical properties and natural durability and may have multiple uses. An understanding of the factors that affect oak timber quality is essential. It is important to have quality control of physical, mechanical and technological wood characteristics in order to define the better primary processing and end-use. Silviculture may significantly impact wood quality and ...
The Lisbon and surrounding area of the Lower Tagus Valley has experienced in the past the effects of several moderate sized earthquakes that caused significant damage and destruction. They have been attributed to local sources, though in some cases the source remains to be located. The lack of outcrops in the flat lying Quaternary terrains, the low slip-rates of the area in connection with sedimentation and ero...
