The aim of the work was to design a town hall for Brno city, burrough Sever. Currently, the location is separated from public life by a high wall. What is more, it does not match the style of surrounding buildings. The proposed town hall design strives to revive the location. It uses one of the three existing buildings built in 1920. The building is proposed to be rennovated and extended by a new modern architectonic object. This way, the whole complex would naturally fit into the original structure. The location of the town hall merges the historic with the modern introducing new values into the place.

[pt] O uso de surfactantes zwitteriônicos em métodos de recuperação avançada de petróleo é um tema atual, devido ao potencial de aplicação em reservatórios do Présal. No entanto, há a possibilidade destes sofrerem o processo de adsorção na superfície das rochas do reservatório, o que pode tornar a injeção destas substâncias inviável economicamente. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a adsorção estática do surfactante cocoamidopropil betaína (CAPB) na superfície de uma rocha análoga do Pré-sal (travertino), em fluídos de diferentes salinidades. Inicialmente, realizou-se a determinação da concentração micelar crítica do surfactante, assim como da área superficial, composição e morfologia da rocha, e o potencial zeta em solução. A partir destes resultados, foi desenvolvido um procedimento para obter as isotermas de adsorção do CAPB sobre a superfície do travertino, à temperatura de 30 graus C e utilizando como fase aquosa soluções micelares preparadas em diferentes salmouras. Os resultados indicaram que a adsorção do surfactante aumentou com o aumento na salinidade. Os dados experimentais foram ajustados para os modelos clássicos de isotermas e o melhor ajuste foi obtido com o modelo de Langmuir. Para uma melhor compreensão do mecanismo de adsorção e do efeito da salinidade, foram realizadas simulações de especiação de superfície no software PHREEQC. Os resultados sugerem que a adsorção é superior nos cenários onde há maior quantidade de sítios superficiais resultantes da adsorção iônica dos íons determinantes de potencial (PDI). A partir destes resultados, pode-se concluir que a adsorção do CAPB é governada pela composição iônica do meio e pelo impacto desses íons na especiação química da superfície da rocha de travertino. / [en] The use of zwitterionic surfactants in advanced oil recovery methods is a current topic, due to its potential application in pre-salt reservoirs. However, there is a possibility that they may adsorb on the surface of the reservoir rocks, which can make the injection of these substances economically unfeasible. The objective of this work was to investigate the static adsorption of the surfactant cocoamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) on the surface of a pre-salt analogous rock (travertine), in fluids of different salinity. Initially, the critical micelle concentration of the surfactant was determined, as well as the surface area, composition and morphology of the rock, and its zeta potential in solution. From these results, a procedure was developed to obtain the isotherms of CAPB adsorption on the travertine surface, at a temperature of 30 degrees C while using micellar solutions prepared in different brines. The results indicated that surfactant increased with salinity. The experimental data were fitted to the classical isotherm models and the best fit was obtained with the Langmuir model. For a better understanding of the adsorption mechanism and the salinity effect, surface speciation simulations were performed in the PHREEQC software. The results suggest that the adsorption is superior in scenarios where there is a greater amount of surface sites resulting from the ionic adsorption of potential determining ions (PDI). From these results, it can be concluded that CAPB adsorption is governed by the ionic composition of the medium and by the impact of these ions on the chemical speciation of the travertine rock surface.

[pt] Para uma melhor previsibilidade e gerenciamento de reservatórios de hidrocarbonetos é necessário estabelecer modelos constitutivos adequados para representar o comportamento mecânico e hidráulico desses materiais. Durante a produção de hidrocarbonetos, ocorre um aumento das tensões efetivas devido à redução de pressão de poros. Isto pode levar à redução do espaço poroso do reservatório, podendo chegar ao colapso de poros. A compactação dos reservatórios é consequência da alteração do estado de tensões, que produzem deformações elásticas e plásticas, levando eventualmente à ruptura da rocha. Sabe-se que a resistência dos carbonatos está relacionada à porosidade, mineralogia e arranjo dos grãos. Sendo que este tipo de rocha, geralmente, tem um comportamento elastoplástico com características anisotrópicas. O uso de modelos constitutivos avançados é necessário para reproduzir o complexo comportamento de tensão-deformação-permeabilidade das rochas carbonáticas. Os modelos elastoplásticos isotrópicos Lade-Kim e Cam Clay Modificado com Coesão (CCMC), são usados neste trabalho para tentar representar o comportamento geomecânico do travertino; rocha análoga a uma das fácies do Pré-Sal brasileiro. Parâmetros destes modelos para este tipo de rochas dificilmente são encontrados na literatura, sendo sua determinação dependente de ensaios de laboratório cuidadosamente realizados. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo contribuir com o estabelecimento de modelos adequados para representar o comportamento geomecânico da rocha carbonática travertino em função da porosidade. Como parte do presente trabalho foi desenvolvido um modelo anisótropico denominado CALK, baseado no modelo isotrópico de Lade-Kim. Além disso ensaios triaxiais a compressão, hidrostáticos e compressão uniaxial foram realizados em amostras da rocha carbonática travertino com diferentes orientações das camadas em relação ao eixo axial das amostras (paralelo, Beta = 90 graus; ortogonal, Beta = 0 grau; e inclinado, Beta = 45 graus). Os resultados dos ensaios foram usados para estabelecer parâmetros dos modelos constitutivos Lade-Kim e CCMC. O processo de retroanálise foi utilizado, incorporando o algoritmo Lade-Kim, desenvolvido em MATLAB 2017 e FORTRAN 90 nos algoritmos DREAM e MINPACK, respectivamente. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a metodologia proposta e o modelo CALK é capaz de representar adequadamente, o comportamento mecânico do travertino observado em laboratório. / [en] For better predictability and management of hydrocarbon reservoirs it is necessary to establish adequate constitutive models to represent the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of these materials. During the production of hydrocarbons, an increase in effective stresses occur due to the reduction of pore pressure. This can lead to a reduction in the pore space of the reservoir and may lead to pore collapse. The compaction of the reservoirs is a consequence of the alteration of the state of stress, which produce elastic and plastic deformations, eventually leading to failure of the rock. It is known that the resistance of the carbonates is related to the porosity, mineralogy and arrangement of the grains. Since this type of rock usually has an elastoplastic behavior with anisotropic characteristics. The use of advanced constitutive models is necessary to reproduce the complex stress-strainpermeability behavior of sedimentary rocks. The Lade-Kim and Modified Cam Clay with Cohesion (CCMC) isotropic models are used in this work to try to represent the geomechanical behavior of travertine; a rock analogous to one of the Brazilian Pre-Salt facies. Parameters of these models for these type of rocks are seldom found in the literature, and their determination depends on carefully performed laboratory tests. The present work aims to contribute with the establishment of adequate models to represent the geomechanical behavior of travertine carbonate as a function of porosity. As a part of the present work an anisotropic model called CALK was developed, based on the isotropic model of Lade-Kim. In addition, triaxial compression, hydrostatic and uniaxial compression tests were performed on travertine carbonate samples with different orientations of the layers in relation to the axial axis of the samples ( parallel, Beta = 90 degrees , orthogonal, Beta = 0 degrees and inclined, Beta = 45 degrees) The results of the tests were used to establish parameters of the constitutive models Lade-Kim and CCMC. The retro-analysis process was used, incorporating the Lade-Kim algorithm, developed in MATLAB 2017 and FORTRAN 90, to the DREAM and MINPACK algorithms, respectively. The results indicate that the proposed methodology and the CALK model are able to adequately represent the mechanical behavior of the travertine observed in the laboratory.

No / A profile across 8 layers from a fossil travertine terrace from a low temperature geothermal spring located in Svalbard, Norway has been studied using both Raman spectroscopy and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) techniques to identify minerals and organic life signals. Calcite, anatase, quartz, haematite, magnetite and graphite as well as scytonemin, three different carotenoids, chlorophyll and a chlorophyll-like compound were identified as geo- and biosignatures respectively, using 785 and/or 514 nm Raman laser excitation wavelengths. No morphological biosignatures representing remnant microbial signals were detected by high-resolution imaging, although spectral analyses indicated the presence of organics. In contrast, in all layers, Raman spectra identified a series of different organic pigments indicating little to no degradation or change of the organic signatures and thus indicating the preservation of fossil biomarker compounds throughout the life time of the springs despite the lack of remnant morphological indicators. With a view towards planetary exploration we discuss the implications of the differences in Raman band intensities observed when spectra were collected with the different laser excitations. We show that these differences, as well as the different detection capability of the 785 and 514 nm laser, could lead to ambiguous compound identification. We show that the identification of bio and geosignatures, as well as fossil organic pigments, using Raman spectroscopy is possible. These results are relevant since both lasers have been considered for miniaturized Raman spectrometers for planetary exploration.

Résumé La plupart des régions équatoriales humides, dont fait partie le Rwanda, sont caractérisées par une altération avancée des roches, des températures relativement élevées, de fortes intensités des pluies qui se traduisent par des phénomènes de ruissellement et dérosion accompagnées par la lixiviation déléments nutritifs avec pour corollaires lacidification et la réduction de la fertilité des sols. Lun des moyens daméliorer la fertilité passe par la mise en uvre de techniques destinées à modifier les caractéristiques défavorables du sol. Ce travail a pour objectif dévaluer les effets de lapport dans le sol de biomasses végétales fraîches collectées dans le milieu naturel, combinées avec du travertin, sur lamélioration de la fertilité et de la productivité des sols acides du Rwanda. Afin datteindre ce but, deux types dessais ont été mis en place sur le terrain au niveau du site de Rubona en moyenne altitude et de Gakuta en haute altitude. Il sagit tout dabord dun essai portant sur la mise en culture en milieu naturel de deux espèces végétales Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsley) A Gray et Tephrosia vogelii (Hook F) et lévaluation de leur production en biomasse et en quantités déléments. Lautre essai, consiste en lévaluation des caractéristiques des sols et des rendements de la culture du maïs des parcelles fertilisées avec les biomasses de ces espèces et/ou de NPK chacun combiné ou non avec du travertin. Le choix de Tithonia diversifolia a été basé sur son potentiel fertilisant et de production en biomasse tandis que celui de Tephrosia vogelii sur son utilisation dans les exploitations agricoles sous forme de haie anti-érosive. Les résultats obtenus indiquent que ces espèces ont un potentiel élevé de production en biomasse et en accumulation déléments dans leurs milieux écologiques favorables. Elles donnent des rendements de 18,7 t.ha-1.an-1 pour Tithonia diversifolia à Rubona et 11,4 t.ha-1.an-1 pour Tephrosia vogelii à Gakuta. Au terme de quatre saisons culturales dexpérimentation, les traitements avec la biomasse de Tithonia diversifolia combinée au travertin ont significativement augmenté le pH, la CECE, le Veff et réduit le taux de saturation en aluminium échangeable dans les deux sites. A Rubona, laugmentation de 0,8 unité de pH a induit un écart positif de 43,9 % et 2,9 cmolc.kg-1 de sol respectivement pour Veff et de CECE et une réduction de 60 à 11 % pour mAl. A Gakuta, ces écarts sont respectivement de 20,5 % et 4,1 cmolc.kg-1 de sol et de 20 à 0,4 % pour une amélioration de 0,7 unité de pH. Ce même traitement et celui relatif à la biomasse de Tithonia diversifolia seule ont amélioré les teneurs en Cot des sols de 0,1 à 0,5 %. Les effets des traitements sur la disponibilité du phosphore sont les plus marqués avec lengrais minéral NPK utilisé seul ou en combinaison avec le travertin. Les teneurs correspondantes ont été multipliées par 2,8 et 2,7 à Rubona et 1,3 à Gakuta à la quatrième saison. Sagissant des paramètres microbiologiques du sol (azote microbien, carbone microbien, respiration basale et respiration induite par le substrat), une amélioration sensible a été observée dans les traitements avec la biomasse de Tithonia diversifolia ou de Tephrosia vogelii en combinaison avec le travertin ou de la biomasse de Tithonia diversifolia appliquée seule. Lanalyse des échantillons de terres par la méthode de spectroscopie proche infrarouge a permis de prédire avec la meilleure précision (0,8<r2<1,0 et 2,3<RPD<5,4) la plupart des paramètres chimiques et microbiologiques pris en compte dans cette étude (pH, Cot, Nt, CEC, CECE, Nmic, Cmic, RBAS, RIS). Pour le maïs, les rendements en biomasse et en grains sont positivement influencés par le traitement avec la biomasse de Tithonia diversifolia combinée avec du travertin. Ce traitement présente une meilleure efficience agronomique. A la quatrième saison, le rendement en grain pour ce traitement a été multiplié par 4,7 et 2,8 par rapport au témoin respectivement à Rubona et à Gakuta.

This rocky block, called T-Block, was stored in the courtyard of the Laborat?rio Experimental Petr?leo "Kelsen Valente" (LabPetro), of Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), so that from it were performed Scientific studies, mainly for research groups universities and research centers working in brazilian areas of reservoir characterization and 3D digital imaging. The purpose of this work is the development of a Model Solid Digital, from the use of non-invasive techniques of digital 3D imaging of internal and external surfaces of the T-Block. For the imaging of the external surfaces technology has been used LIDAR (Light Detection and Range) and the imaging surface Interior was done using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), moreover, profiles were obtained with a Gamma Ray Gamae-spect?metro laptop. The goal of 3D digital imaging involved the identification and parameterization of surface geological and sedimentary facies that could represent heterogeneities depositional mesoscale, based on study of a block rocky with dimensions of approximately 1.60 m x 1.60 m x 2.70 m. The data acquired by means of terrestrial laser scanner made available georeferenced spatial information of the surface of the block (X, Y, Z), and varying the intensity values of the return laser beam and high resolution RGB data (3 mm x 3 mm), total points acquired 28,505,106. This information was used as an aid in the interpretation of radargrams and are ready to be displayed in rooms virtual reality. With the GPR was obtained 15 profiles of 2.3 m and 2 3D grids, each with 24 sections horizontal of 1.3 and 14 m vertical sections of 2.3 m, both the Antenna 900 MHz to about 2600 MHz antenna. Finally, the use of GPR associated with Laser Scanner enabled the identification and 3D mapping of 3 different radarf?cies which were correlated with three sedimentary facies as had been defined at the outset. The 6 profiles showed gamma a low amplitude variation in the values of radioactivity. This is likely due to the fact of the sedimentary layers profiled have the same mineralogical composition, being composed by carbonate sediments, with no clay in siliciclastic pellitic layers or other mineral carrier elements radioactive / Nesse trabalho s?o apresentados os procedimentos metodol?gicos envolvidos no imageamento digital em mesoescala de um bloco de rochas travertinas de idade quatern?ria, oriundas da cidade de Acquasanta, situada na cordilheira dos Apeninos, na It?lia. Esse bloco rochoso, denominado de T-Block, foi armazenado no p?tio do Laborat?rio Experimental de Petr?leo "Kelsen Valente" (LabPetro), da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) para que a partir dele fossem realizados estudos cient?ficos, principalmente para grupos de pesquisa das universidades e centros de pesquisa brasileiros que atuam nas ?reas de caracteriza??o de reservat?rio e imageamento digital 3D. A proposta deste trabalho consiste na elabora??o de um Modelo de S?lido Digital, a partir da utiliza??o de t?cnicas n?o-invasivas de imageamento digital 3D das superf?cies interna e externa do T-Block. Para o imageamento das superf?cies externas foi utilizada a tecnologia LIDAR (Light Detection and Range) e para o imageamento das superf?cies internas foi feita a utiliza??o do Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), al?m disso, foram adquiridos perfis de Gamma Ray com um Gamaespect?metro port?til. O objetivo do imageamento digital 3D consistiu na identifica??o e parametriza??o de superf?cies geol?gicas e de f?cies sedimentares que pudessem representar heterogeneidades deposicionais em mesoescala, tomando como base de estudo um bloco rochoso com dimens?es de aproximadamente 1,60m x 1,60m x 2,70 m. Os dados adquiridos por meio do Laser Scanner terrestre disponibilizaram informa??es espaciais georreferenciadas da superf?cie do bloco (X, Y, Z), al?m de valores de varia??o de intensidade de retorno do raio laser e dados RGB com alta resolu??o (3 mm x 3 mm), totalizando 28.505.106 pontos adquiridos. Essas informa??es foram utilizadas como auxilio durante a interpreta??o dos radargramas e est?o prontas para ser exibidas em salas de realidade virtual. Com o GPR, foram adquiridos 15 perfis de 2,3 m e 2 grids 3D, cada um com 24 se??es horizontais de 1,3 m e 14 se??es verticais de 2,3 m, tanto com a antena de 900 MHz quanto com a antena de 2600 MHz. Por fim, o uso do GPR associado ao Laser Scanner possibilitou a identifica??o e mapeamento 3D de 3 radarf?cies distintas as quais foram correlacionadas a 3 f?cies sedimentares j? que j? haviam sido definidas no inicio do trabalho. Os 6 perfis de raios gama mostraram uma baixa varia??o na amplitude dos valores de radioatividade. Provavelmente, isso ocorreu devido ao fato das camadas sedimentares perfiladas possu?rem a mesma composi??o mineral?gica, sendo compostas por sedimentos carbon?ticos, com aus?ncia de argila silicicl?stica nas camadas mais pel?ticas ou de outro mineral portador de elementos radioativos

Les carbonates de sources hydrothermales (ou Geothermal Spring Carbonate, GSC) sont des systèmes carbonatés qui se développent autour de sources dont les eaux ont circulé en profondeur et sont remontées le long de failles perméables. Leur développement est contrôlé en tout premier lieu par la nature des eaux souterraines auxquelles ils sont liés. La formation de ces carbonates dépend d’interactions complexes entre les processus hydrologiques, tectoniques et structuraux se produisant avant l’émergence. Par la suite, la sédimentation est régie par de nombreux processus résultant des variations hydrologiques et chimiques de l’eau ainsi que par l’activité biologique. Du fait des interactions complexes entre ces facteurs, la sédimentation est sensible à de faible variations environnementales et il en résulte ainsi un grand nombre d’environnement de dépôts et de lithofacies.Le but de cette étude est d’améliorer les connaissances et les concepts fondamentaux propres au développement des carbonates de sources hydrothermales (GSC). Pour cela, elle s’appuie principalement sur l’examen des faciès que ce soit à petite échelle, comme l’observation des microstructures (microfabrics), ou à grande échelle, comme leur agencement en trois dimensions. De tels examens ont été effectués dans des sites hydrothermaux où ces carbonates se sont développés au cours du Quaternaire (région de Rapolano en Italie, bassin de Denizli en Turquie ou encore le Parc du Yellowstone dans le Wyoming, USA). / Geothermal spring carbonate (GSC) corresponds to a complex carbonate system formed around carbonate-rich springs fed by rising groundwaters along permeable fault zones. Their development is mainly controlled by the nature of springwaters emerging above water table. Therefore carbonate deposition is, in this setting, intimately related to complex interactions between hydrological, tectonic and structural processes occurring prior to water emergence. Moreover, carbonate sedimentation from springwater results from sedimentary processes controlled by complex interactions between hydrological, chemical characteristics and biological activity. Such processes are sensitive to slight environmental variations and thus lead to a large spectrum of lithofacies and ecosystems.The aim of this study is to improve knowledge and fundamental concepts regarding development of geothermal spring carbonates. For that purpose, lithofacies investigation, from microfabrics at micro-scale to 3-dimensional configuration at field-scale, is considered as an essential tool. Such investigations had been carried out in sites where Quaternary and actively forming GSCs were abundant (e.g. Rapolano region, Italy, Denizli Basin, Turkey and Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA).

Le travertin, connu sous le terme de lapis tiburtinus dans l’Antiquité romaine, est une roche issue de la précipitation du carbonate dissous dans les eaux de sources chaudes (travertins) ou froides (tufs calcaires), sous l’influence de processus physico-chimiques et/ou biologiques. Ce phénomène est décrit dès l’époque gréco-romaine par les auteurs antiques (Strabon, Pline l’Ancien, Vitruve), qui témoignent d’une roche qui se forme sous leurs yeux, qui dessine le paysage et qui est largement exploitée pour la construction (p. ex. le Colisée à Rome, le Temple grec de Ségeste en Sicile). Abondamment répartis à la surface de la Terre et caractérisés par une certaine diversité morphologique, les travertins représentent d’excellents enregistreurs des conditions climatiques et hydrologiques de leur dépôt, offrant un potentiel très fiable d’archives sédimentaires utilisées au sein de problématiques paléoenvironnementales. La notion de travertins anthropiques définie ici prend en compte l’influence de l’Homme sur ces formations sédimentaires et les eaux qui leur sont associées. Elle est illustrée par une approche géoarchéologique des dépôts de travertins préservés sur le site antique de Jebel Oust, en Tunisie, où l’exploitation d’une source chaude est attestée depuis le début de notre ère jusqu’à son tarissement dès la fin de l’Antiquité tardive. La source thermale surgissant sur le versant oriental de la montagne fut l’objet d’un culte aux époques romaine puis paléochrétienne et alimentait en eau chaude, par le biais d’un aqueduc, un édifice thermal localisé en aval. Notre approche géoarchéologique met en lumière l’anthropisation du versant qui se traduit par un contrôle du fonctionnement de la source chaude et des dynamiques sédimentaires associées. En parallèle, l’analyse des travertins préservés au sein des structures antiques révèle des informations primordiales sur les conditions de déroulement du culte et sur les pratiques balnéaires (fonction des salles thermales, gestion de l’eau, phases de réfection, états d’abandon). Une vision plus générale d’une géoarchéologie des travertins anthropiques propose une nouvelle approche des problématiques liées à l’eau, en insistant sur la gestion plus ou moins complexe d’une source carbonatée, chaude ou froide, et en précisant le degré d’impact humain sur le développement des travertins. / Travertine, known as lapis tiburtinus during Roman times, are continental limestones precipitated in calcareous environments from thermal waters of hot springs (travertine) or cool waters of karstic springs (calcareous tufa). This phenomenon is well-known during Classical Antiquity and had been described by several ancient authors (Strabo, Pliny the Elder, Vitruvius) who depicted a stone that forms extremely rapidly, a stone that outlines the landscape and which is largely used for construction (e.g. The Colosseum in Roma, the Greek temple at Segesta in Sicily). These deposits are widespread on Earth’s surface showing various morphologies and are great sedimentary records of climatic and hydrologic conditions. Thus they represent valuable proxies for palaeoenvironmental studies. The notion of anthropogenic travertine takes into consideration human impact on these deposits and on travertine-depositing waters. It is documented by the study of the roman site of Jebel Oust, Tunisia, where the exploitation of a hot spring is attested from the first century A.D. to the end of Late Antiquity. The site is characterized by a temple settled around the spring’s vent associated with Roman baths located downstream and supplied with hot water via an aqueduct. Our geoarchaeological approach brings to light the anthropization of the regional geosystem expressed by an entire control over the hot spring and its associated deposits. Furthermore the study of travertines preserved in the archaeological structures reveals precious and original information about water cult and bathing practices during Antiquity (thermal rooms function, water management, repair phases, states of neglect and decay). Moreover, geoarchaeology of anthropogenic travertine intends to offer a new approach of research‘s problematic dealing with water managements and integrating human impact on travertine’s development.

The building structure of new philharmonic orchestra is a longstanding dream of concert hall, whose level is comparable to state-of -the-art concert halls in the world. Where should be the new building located was one of the demands of my assignment. How to involve contemporary architecture to historical context or to urban context in a way that the location of the building will agree with its place in the society, but in a way that it will still respect the heritage of contemporary philharmonic orchestra and heritage of Teofil Hansen? The main aim of the design was to find out the most appropriate location and to design the building structure of new philharmonic orchestra that would meet all contemporary acoustic and personal requirements and would take into consideration all development trends.
