Para transformar a água bruta em água potável, a VM utiliza o processo convencional de tratamento, com adição de diversos componentes, formando resíduos a serem removidos nas etapas de decantação e filtração, principalmente nos decantadores, sendo estes resíduos chamados de lodo. A disposição final dos lodos gerados nas ETAs constitui atualmente um dos principais passivos ambientais do setor de saneamento. Há muito, o destino destes resíduos de ETA vinha sendo os cursos d’água próximos das estações, podendo causar efeitos, principalmente à fauna aquática e a saúde humana, pois o mesmo contém metais, tóxicos entre outros contaminantes. Esta prática tem sido questionada por órgãos ambientais. Atualmente, um dos grandes desafios é a busca de destinação final desses lodos, ambientalmente vantajosa e econômica e tecnicamente viável. Entre as possibilidades aponta-se incorporação do lodo em compostagem e seu uso na fabricação de tijolos. Neste estudo realizou-se a caracterização do resíduo gerado na ETA VM, após secagem em estufa sob controle de temperatura na faixa de 103-1050C. Foram encontradas concentrações de metais e semi metais nas faixas de: 6,00 - 9,57 mg L-1 Al; 2,14 – 2,89 mg L-1 As; 0,30 - 0,50 x10-3 mg L-1 Be; < 0,10 – 0,12 x10-3 mg L-1 Cd; 0,83 – 0,14 mg L-1 Cr; <2,0 – 0,11 mg L-1 Pb; 6,50 – 12,50 x 10-3 mg L-1 V. Resultados obtidos de testes de resistência de bloco (fbk =fbk,est= 7,8 Mpa) e de absorção de umidade ( ≤ 13%), além de testes de lixiviação: As < 0,035 mg L-1, Cd < 0,020 mg L-1 ,Pb < 0,20 mg L-1, Cr< 0,070 mg L-1, Al < 1,2 mg L-1, Be< 0,020 mg L-1, V<0,30 mg L-1, comprovam a adequação do lodo para uso na confecção de blocos na construção civil. Como o volume de água tratada em média é 178.710 m3 dia-1 na ETA VM, e a produção de resíduo no final do tratamento é de 42,20 g m-3 SST a produção de blocos por dia poderá ser de 15.814, considerando a composição do material nas seguintes proporções: 1,0: 3,7: 0,85: 0,28 correspondendo a cimento:areia:água:lodo. A tecnologia identificada neste trabalho para a destinação final do resíduo da ETA VM é econômica e ambientalmente adequada. / Salvador

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att jämföra kvaliteten som erhålls vid olika typer av fri stationsetablering. Tre olika metoder har jämförts vilka är etablering mot kända stompunkter (traditionell metod), etablering mot GNSS-bestämda punkter med snabb metod och etablering mot GNSS-bestämda punkter med långsam metod. Den snabba metoden går ut på att mäta in en punkt med fem (5) positionsbestämmelser med GNSS samtidigt som totalstationen mäter in punkten som ett bakåtobjekt. Varje punkt behöver då besökas endast en gång. Den långsamma metoden går ut på att mäta in alla punkter som ska användas som bakåtobjekt med tjugo (20) positionsbestämmelser med GNSS, för att därefter mäta in dem med totalstation. Varje bakåtobjekt måste då besökas två gånger. Arbetet utfördes i Arvika kommun. Tre stompunkter användes som huvudsakliga bakåtobjekt. Dessa punkter användes som bakåtobjekt för att jämföra kvaliteten på GNSS-mätningarna relativt de sanna koordinaterna på stompunkterna vilka hämtas från respektive punktbeskrivning. Olika antal bakåtobjekt mättes in med GNSS för att undersöka hur kvaliteten förändrades i takt med att fler bakåtobjekt tillkom. Fri stationsetablering genomfördes i varje metod med tre, fem och sju bakåtobjekt. Det gjordes tre mätomgångar för att kunna jämföra mätningarna med varandra. Slutsatser som dras är att vid uppdatering av primärkartan räcker det med att använda den snabba GNSS-metoden tillsammans med tre bakåtobjekt för att uppnå tillfredsställande kvalitet. Vid finutsättning bör den långsamma metoden med fem bakåtobjekt användas istället.  Arbetet beskriver även teorin bakom GNSS-tekniken och fri station. / The purpose of this degree project is to compare the quality obtained from different types of free station establishment. Three different methods have been compared. The methods are establishing towards control points (traditional method), establishing towards GNSSdetermined points with a fast method and establishing towards GNSS-determined points with a slow method. The fast method is to measure a point with five (5) positions with GNSS while the total station measures the point as backsights simultaneously. Using this method each point needs to be visited only once. The slow method is to first measure all points to be used as backsights with 20 positions with GNSS, then return to each point and measure them with the total station. Each point must then be visited twice. Three control points in the city of Arvika were used as backsights. It was also those points that were measured with GNSS to compare the quality of GNSS measurements relative to their "true" coordinates extracted from the point description. Different number of backsights were used to investigate how the quality changed as more backsights were added. Free station establishment was performed with each method using three, five and seven backward objects. Three measuring rounds were made to compare the measurements in each round with each other. Conclusions drawn are that, when updating the primary chart, it is sufficient to use the fast GNSS method along with three backsights to achieve satisfactory quality, but in construction measuring where the quality needs to be very high the slow method with five backsights should be used instead. The work also describes the theory behind GNSS technology and free station.

L’urbanisation engendre, par l’imperméabilisation des surfaces et la présence de bâtiments, une modification locale du climat et, plus spécifiquement, le phénomène d’îlot de chaleur urbain (ICU). Ce phénomène se traduit par l’augmentation de la température en ville la nuit. Lors des vagues de chaleur ce phénomène peut causer un inconfort voire une surmortalité. Dans le contexte du changement climatique et d’une dynamique démographique importante, la thèse est réalisée sur le territoire de Rennes Métropole. Au cours de cette thèse, plusieurs objectifs sont poursuivis. Dans un premier temps, l’étude porte sur l’analyse de la variabilité spatiale de l’ICU selon l’occupation du sol et des formes urbaines. Afin d’observer ce phénomène sur le territoire de Rennes Métropole, plusieurs réseaux de mesuressont mis en place. Le premier réseau concerne l’échelle de l’agglomération avec 22 stations météorologiques. Le second réseau est établi à l’échelle intra-urbaine avec l’installation de 20 capteurs de température. Enfin, le troisième réseau de mesures vise à observer la variabilité de l’ICU au sein de deux quartiers rennais et d’une petite ville, Vezin-le-Coquet. Dans un second temps, des modèles de spatialisation de l’ICU sont construits à l’échelle de l’agglomération, puis, à l’échelle intra-urbaine. Ces modèles permettent de réaliser des cartes de l’ICU pour ces deux échelles emboitées. Dans un troisième temps, l’analyse temporelle est établie par la relation entre les types de temps et l’ICU. Cette analyse permet de construire un modèle de prévision de l’ICU quotidien. A partir de ce modèle, l’ICU quotidien est projeté par les sorties régionalisées des modèles du changement climatique. Plusieurs outils d’aide à la décision sont proposés à partir des modèles développés de l’ICU. L’exposition de l’agglomération rennaise au changement climatique est évaluée à partir des cartes de l’ICU et de plusieurs indices projetés par les sorties régionalisées des modèles du changement climatique / Urban development, characterized by the presence of buildings and impervious surfaces, modify the local climate and in particular, enhance the urban heat island (UHI). This phenomenon raises temperatures in cities at night, which could cause discomfort and over-mortality during heat waves. In the context of climate change and important population dynamics, this thesis is carried out in the Rennes Metropolitan area (in Brittany). Firstly, this thesis focuses on the spatial analysis of UHI variability according to land use and urban forms. To observe UHI in the Rennes Metropolitan area, a network of multiple measurement types were implemented at various scale. 1) a network of 22 permanents weather stations located in urban/rural sites; 2) a network of 20 temperature sensors placed in intra-urban area; and 3) a network of temperature measurements in two neighborhoods of Rennes and a small town, Vezin-le-Coquet. Secondly, spatial models of UHI were designed in this thesis at both the urban agglomeration and intra-urban scale. This multi-scale approach produced UHI map for these nesting-scales. Thirdly, this thesis determined the temporal variability of UHI by looking at the interaction between weather types and UHI. This analysis produced a statistical model of daily UHI magnitude according to meteorological observations. This model combined with data from downscaled climate change scenarios provided future projections of UHI. Lastly, this study deals with tools for town planning to prevent intensive UHI. UHI maps and downscaled climate change scenarios defined the risk assessment in the Rennes Metropolitan area

The master’s thesis deals with upgrading of the Dluhonice railway station. The aim is design the station to suit the operation and the requirements of the manager. The integral parts of the thesis are adjustments to the railway superstructure, substructure and drainage system of the station.

The thesis is about the programmatic exchange and confluence between production processes, public transportation and people. The proposed intervention would be developed to fit in with the City of Tshwane Spatial development framework and an industracity vision and framework for the location in Pretoria West, developed by the framework group. The new intervention will deal with both production process and public activity in the design of a train station and intermodal freight warehouse. The site location is in Pretoria West, a mixed use suburb with restricted industry, business, retail, flats and single residential areas. The site is the Pretoria West Power Station an intersect fir existing infrastructure and public transportation routes. The aim of the investigation is the integration of public functions with industrial functions in ways that contest monotonous urban environments, preserving the heritage of the site in the outcome. The research questions what can be done to facilitate the return of lost production, increase the interaction of people and processes and address the decaying historical fabric of the Pretoria West Power Station. The study examines the history of production and railway stations, uses descriptive survey methods, precedent studies and architectural and urban theory to inform the intervention. The aim of the design is to transform an industrial site into a vibrant integrated environment, introducing programmes that will attract people , but keep the industrial character intact. The character of the site will be conserved through the introduction of new light industries, keeping the memory of process. The design concept links into the idea of electrical input and output exchanges of a power station. It focuses on the exchanges of energy, physical and visual exchanges between heritage, people and products, service exchanges and exchanges in function between freight and passengers and in context - heritage and production. The design objectives are to extend the railway line as a suspended platform to provide access and exchange for freight and passengers and to depart from the introverted nature of the existing buildings to encourage public interaction with the history of the site and the production processes. The railway track infrastructure will serve multiple purposes. / Dissertation (MArch (Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Architecture / unrestricted
