Estas ?ltimas consistem em taludes com altura de at? 40 metros e inclina??o variando de 30o a 90o com a horizontal. Assim, esta disserta??o teve como objetivo a avalia??o da estabilidade da fal?sia da Ponta do Pirambu em Tibau do Sul/RN, e a realiza??o de um estudo param?trico sobre a estabilidade de uma fal?sia homog?nea considerando como vari?veis a coes?o do material, a altura da fal?sia e a inclina??o do talude. O estudo na Ponta do Pirambu considerou ainda a possibilidade da exist?ncia de uma cobertura coluvionar com espessura variando de 0,50 a 5,00 metros. As an?lises foram realizadas pelo m?todo de Bishop, utilizando o programa GEO5. Na an?lise param?trica foram produzidos gr?ficos que relacionam altura da fal?sia com a inclina??o, para fatores de seguran?a iguais a 1,00 e 1,50; al?m de gr?ficos onde ? poss?vel obter facilmente o menor fator de seguran?a a partir da coes?o, altura da fal?sia e sua inclina??o. Concluiu-se que esses gr?ficos s?o muito ?teis para an?lises preliminares, para a defini??o de ?reas cr?ticas em mapeamentos de riscos em ?reas de fal?sias e para determina??o de uma equa??o para obten??o do menor fator de seguran?a em fun??o dos par?metros de resist?ncia e da geometria de um talude. Em rela??o ? fal?sia da Ponta do Pirambu, os resultados mostraram que a fal?sia est? sujeita a deslizamentos superficiais localizados nos pontos onde pode haver a presen?a do col?vio com espessuras superiores a dois metros. Entretanto, a fal?sia se mant?m est?vel, apresentando fator de seguran?a global igual ou superior a 2,50 na condi??o saturada. / The coastline from Rio Grande do Norte state is characterized for the presence of dunes and cliffs. The latter consist of slopes with height up to 40 meters and inclinations ranging from 30? to 90? wich horizontal. Thus, this dissertation had as objective the evaluation of the stability of cliff from Ponta do Pirambu in Tibau do Sul/RN, and the realization of a parametric study on the stability of a homogeneous cliff considering as variables the material's cohesion, the cliff height and the slope inclination. The study in Ponta do Pirambu considered yet the possibility of the existence of a colluvial cover with thickness ranging from 0.50 to 5.00 meters. The analyzes were performed by Bishop method, using GEO5 software. In parametric analysis were produced graphics that relate height cliff with the inclination, to safety factors equals to 1.00 and 1.50; besides graphics where it is possible easily get the lowest safety factor as from the cohesion, cliff height and its inclination. It was concluded that these graphs are very useful to preliminary analyzes, for the definition of critical areas in risk mappings in areas of cliffs and for determination of an equation for obtaining the lowest safety factor function of the strength parameters and of slope geometry. Regarding the cliff from Ponta do Pirambu, the results showed that the cliff is subject to superficial landslides located in the points where may there be the presence of colluvium with thicknesses greater than two meters. However, the cliff remains stable presenting the global safety factor equal or superior to 2.50 in the saturated condition.

O local de estudo em quest?o, por ser uma ?rea militar protegida, encontra-se completamente livre de interfer?ncias humanas e sem nenhuma edifica??o em seu topo, fazendo com que as an?lises sejam representativas de condi??es naturais impostas aos taludes estudados. As atividades desenvolvidas durante a elabora??o desta disserta??o est?o agrupadas em quatro etapas: revis?o bibliogr?fica, trabalhos de campo, ensaios de laborat?rio e an?lise da estabilidade das fal?sias. Atrav?s de visitas realizadas na ?rea de estudo, foram colhidas informa??es necess?rias para a posterior obten??o dos perfis cr?ticos das fal?sias para an?lise de estabilidade. Foram observados que os perfis em geral n?o s?o ?ngremes, com a presen?a de incis?o basal em alguns trechos. Verificou-se nas an?lises que as tens?es de tra??o atuantes apresentam valores baixos. O principal mecanismo respons?vel por deflagrar os processos de instabilidade ? o aumento parcial da satura??o dos solos ocasionado pelas precipita??es pluviom?tricas, o que diminui sua resist?ncia e gera movimentos de massa. Pelos ensaios realizados observou-se que o intercepto de coes?o dos solos saturados ? em torno de 26% do valor obtido para os solos no teor de umidade natural. Contudo, os ?ngulos de atrito em ambos os casos sofrem inexpressivas varia??es. Concluiu-se que a presen?a da incis?o basal n?o apresentou efeitos significativos na redu??o da estabilidade nas configura??es analisadas pelos m?todos por Equil?brio-Limite, enquanto que pela an?lise de tens?es observa-se um aumento de tens?es de tra??o na face da se??o. O estudo da an?lise de estabilidade realizado neste trabalho representou efetivamente os tipos de ruptura observados nas fal?sias do litoral do Rio Grande do Norte, sendo bem mais coerentes que os obtidos pelos m?todos tradicionais. / This Dissertation treat of obtaining geotechnical properties of sediments of Barreiras Formation and the stability analysis of the cliffs located at the Barreira do Inferno Launches Center, Parnamirim, Rio Grande do Norte State. Coastal areas attracts great interest for the population in general, and developments in these regions are quite common, causing erosive processes to be studied in order to provide a better understanding of the factors influencing the Stability of the cliffs and consequently their safety. The study site in question, being a protected military area, is completely free of human interference and without any edification at its top, making the analysis representative of natural conditions imposed on the slopes studied. The activities developed during the elaboration of this dissertation are grouped in four stages: bibliographic revision, fieldwork, laboratory tests and stability analysis of the cliffs. Based on visits accomplished in situ, information was collected for the subsequent retrieval of the critical profiles of the cliffs for stability analysis. It was observed that the profiles in general aren?t steep, with the presence of basal incision in some areas. It was verified in analyzes that the tensile tensions acting are low. The main mechanism responsible for triggering the instability processes is the partial increase of soil saturation caused by rainfall, which decreases its resistance and generates mass movements. From the tests carried out, it was observed that the cohesion intercept of the saturated soils is around 26% of the obtained value in the natural moisture content. However, the angles of friction in both cases suffer inexpressive variations It was concluded that the presence of the basal incision had no significant effect on the reduction of stability in the configurations analyzed by the limit equilibrium methods, while stress analysis showed an increase in tensile stresses on the face of the section. The study of the stability analysis performed in this work effectively represented the types of rupture observed in the cliffs of the coast of Rio Grande do Norte, being more coherent than those obtained by traditional methods.

Oliveira, Josenalde Barbosa de 14 December 2007 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-17T14:54:46Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 JosenaldeBO.pdf: 1494350 bytes, checksum: 7c76ccebcfe52ebc97b3be9b7982ebd0 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-12-14 / In this thesis, it is developed the robustness and stability analysis of a variable structure model reference adaptive controller considering the presence of disturbances and unmodeled dynamics. The controller is applied to uncertain, monovariable, linear time-invariant plants with relative degree one, and its development is based on the indirect adaptive control. In the direct approach, well known in the literature, the switching laws are designed for the controller parameters. In the indirect one, they are designed for the plant parameters and, thus, the selection of the relays upper bounds becomes more intuitive, whereas they are related to physical parameters, which present uncertainties that can be known easier, such as resistances, capacitances, inertia moments and friction coefficients. Two versions for the controller algorithm with the stability analysis are presented. The global asymptotic stability with respect to a compact set is guaranteed for both cases. Simulation results under adverse operation conditions in order to verify the theoretical results and to show the performance and robustness of the proposed controller are showed. Moreover, for practical purposes, some simplifications on the original algorithm are developed / Nesta tese ? desenvolvida a an?lise de estabilidade e robustez ? din?mica n?o modelada e ?s perturba??es externas de um controlador adaptativo por modelo de refer?ncia e estrutura vari?vel aplicado a plantas incertas, monovari?veis, lineares e invariantes no tempo com grau relativo unit?rio. O projeto de tal controlador ? baseado na abordagem indireta do controle adaptativo. Na abordagem direta, j? amplamente conhecida na literatura, as leis chaveadas s?o projetadas diretamente para os par?metros do controlador. Na abordagem indireta, as mesmas s?o projetadas para os par?metros da planta e, conseq?entemente, o dimensionamento das amplitudes dos rel?s torna-se mais intuitivo, tendo em vista estarem associadas a par?metros f?sicos, os quais apresentam incertezas que podem ser conhecidas mais facilmente, tais como resist?ncias, capacit?ncias, momentos de in?rcia e coeficientes de atrito. S?o apresentadas duas vers?es para o algoritmo do controlador, sendo suas an?lises de estabilidade desenvolvidas, assim como resultados de simula??o sob condi??es de opera??o adversas para verificar os resultados te?ricos obtidos e ilustrar o desempenho e a robustez do controlador proposto. A estabilidade assint?tica global com respeito a um conjunto compacto ? garantida em ambos os casos. Adicionalmente, para fins de aplicabilidade pr?tica, s?o desenvolvidas algumas simplifica??es no algoritmo original

Armando Ribeiro Gon?alves, mais conhecida como Barragem de A?u, ? uma obra geot?cnica de expressiva notoriedade e import?ncia no Rio Grande do Norte e no Nordeste. Al?m do seu porte ? ? a maior barragem do RN ? e import?ncia, ganhou destaque na literatura nacional e internacional pelo rompimento do talude de montante no final do per?odo construtivo. A partir da an?lise dos dados de instrumenta??o dispon?veis no meio acad?mico, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o comportamento da obra nas etapas de constru??o do maci?o, primeiro enchimento e opera??o do reservat?rio. Em cada etapa, foi analisado: o comportamento tens?o-deforma??o; a varia??o de poro-press?es; e a estabilidade de taludes. As an?lises foram feitas com os softwares Sigma/W, Seep/W e Slope/W, pertencentes ao pacote Geo-Studio, da empresa Geo-Slope. Os resultados das modelagens foram comparados aos dados da instrumenta??o, dispon?veis em Rocha (2003). Na an?lise comparativa dos deslocamentos verticais, a maior diferen?a entre os resultados da modelagem e os dados da instrumenta??o foi de 8,9 cm, no extens?metro T7, no final do primeiro enchimento. Na an?lise da estabilidade, o fator de seguran?a mais baixo foi de 1,3, fornecido pelo m?todo dos elementos finitos, para o talude de montante, na fase de opera??o do reservat?rio. Entretanto, a m?dia dos fatores de seguran?a obtidos pelos m?todos baseados no equil?brio-limite nesta etapa foi de 2,4. Para o talude de jusante, esse fator foi de 1,6 em todas as etapas. Esses resultados comprovam a condi??o est?vel da barragem de A?u. Na an?lise de poropress?es, os piez?metros pneum?ticos apresentaram maiores diverg?ncias, entre modelagem e instrumenta??o, do que os de tubo aberto. A diferen?a mais expressiva foi de 46% (23 kPa), no piez?metro PZP1, no primeiro enchimento do reservat?rio. Entretanto, considerando as diferen?as obtidas por outros autores que tamb?m estudaram o fluxo nesta barragem, conclui-se que os resultados da an?lise s?o satisfat?rios e que os par?metros adotados s?o adequados para caracterizar os solos modelados. / The A?u Dam is an important geotechnical built in Rio Grande do Norte and in Northeast Brazilian, especially because of its size and complexity. In addition to its size and importance, it has gained prominence in the national and international literature because of the collapse in upstream slope in the end of construction period. This paper aimed to analyze its behavior in stages of dam construction, first filling and operation of the reservoir. In each step, were analyzed: the stress-strain behavior, the flow and the pore-pressure variation, and the slope stability. These analyses were performed with the software Sigma/W, Seep/W and Slope/W, which are components in a suite of geotechnical products called GeoStudio, produced by Geo-Slope International Ltd. The results were compared with the instrumentation dates available in Rocha (2003). In the comparative analysis of vertical displacements, the largest difference between modeling results and instrumentation data was 8.9 cm, in the T7 extensometer, at the end of the first filling. In the stability analysis, the lowest safety factor was 1.3 for the upstream slope in the reservoir operation phase, but the media of the safety factors obtained by the methods based on limit equilibrium was 2.4. For a downstream slope, this factor was equal to 1.6 in all stages. These results confirm the dam stable condition. In pore-pressure analysis, the pneumatic piezometers presented greater divergences between modeling and instrumentation than those of the Casagrande type. The most significant difference was 46% (23 kPa), in the PZP1 piezometer, at the first filling of the reservoir. However, considering the differences obtained by other authors who also studied the water flow in this dam, we conclude that the results of the present analysis are satisfactory and that the adopted parameters are adequate to characterize the soils modeled.
