Esta dissertação apresenta uma avaliação do comportamento de estacas hélice contínua quanto à capacidade de carga, ao recalque e à segurança e confiabilidade, a partir de um cenário de análise em que foi considerado um banco de dados de 58 provas de carga estáticas, realizadas em estacas hélice contínua de 13 obras distintas. Esta pesquisa está focada principalmente no comportamento carga-recalque e confiabilidade de fundações em estacas hélice contínua. Nesta análise foi também verificada a aplicabilidade do método proposto por Aoki (1989) para determinação da curva carga-recalque destas provas de carga. Os valores de capacidade de carga medidos foram comparados com os previstos pelos método Aoki & Velloso (1975), o método Decourt & Quaresma (1978), o método de Cabral (1996), e o método Alonso (1996). Estes métodos também foram utilizados para previsão de transferência de carga nas estacas, necessária para a previsão da curva carga-recalque pelos método de Aoki (1989). Adicionalmente, com os resultados das provas de carga foram estimadas para cada obra a probabilidade de ruína da fundação, e de ocorrência de recalques superiores a um valor limite. / This dissertation presents an evaluation of the behavior of continuous flight auger piles on ultimate capacity, settlments, safety and reliability, from a scenario analysis in which we considered a database of 58 static load tests, performed on piles of 13 distinct sites. However, this research is focused on the loaddisplacement behavior and reliability of this type of foundation. This analysis also verified the applicability of the method proposed by Aoki (1989) to determine the load-displacement curve of these pile load tests. The values of measured pile capacity were compared with those provided by the method Aoki & Velloso (1975), the method Decourt & Quaresma (1978), the method Cabral (1996), and the method Alonso (1996). These methods were also used to predict the load transfer along the piles, necessary to predict the load-displacement curve by the method of Aoki (1989). Additionally, the results of these load tests were used to estimate the probability of failure of the foundations tested, and the occurrence of settlements exceeding a threshold value.

Neste intuito, prioriza-se o que o autor conceitua como fé, a partir de três conceitos fundamentais: ultimate concern, being grasped e Incondicional. Baseando-se na análise desses três conceitos, é possível definir o que é a fé e o que a fé não é. Nesta tarefa analítica, especial atenção é dada ao conceito de fé como algo humano e, ao mesmo tempo divino e, como a fé tem relação com alguns dos conceitos que são a base da teologia e filosofia de Tillich, dentre os quais se destacam; a cultura, a religião, a revelação, o método de correlação, os símbolos religiosos e a razão ontológica. Acrescentem-se, ainda, abordagens do conceito de fé idólatra e do conceito de fé absoluta e suas peculiaridades. Finalmente, apresenta-se a distinção entre os domínios da fé e a razão pensada em seu sentido técnico e a relação harmônica entre a fé e a razão ontológica. / This research aims to analyze the peculiarity of Paul Tillich's concept of faith. To do that, the focus is put on three concepts: ultimate concern, being grasped and Inconditional. Based on the analysis of these three concepts, it is possible to define what faith is, and what, in Tillichs point of view, faith is not. In this analytical task, special attention is given to the of the concept of faith as something simultaneously human and divine, and to how real faith relates with several concepts which are the base of Tillich's theology and philosophy, among whose are stressed: culture, religion, revelation, correlation method, religious symbols and ontological reason. Also a treatment of the concepts of idolatrous faith and of absolute faith is developed. Finally, the distinction between the realms of faith and reason, the last conceived in its technical sense, and the harmonious relation between faith and ontological reason are presented.

La conception de la mémoire adaptative défend l’idée selon laquelle la mémoire humaine a évolué, pendant toute l’histoire de l’Homme, de sorte à résoudre des problèmes adaptatifs spécifiques (e.g., trouver de la nourriture, se protéger des prédateurs). De nombreuses recherches soutiennent cette conception en montrant, par exemple, que nous mémorisons mieux les informations quand nous les traitons relativement à notre propre survie (Nairne, Thompson, & Pandeirada, 2007). Récemment, un nouvel effet mnésique est venu renforcer cette approche fonctionnelle de la mémoire : l’effet animé. Il correspond à une meilleure mémorisation des entités animées (entités vivantes, capables de se déplacer de façon autonome, e.g., bébé, sauterelle) comparativement aux entités inanimées (entités non vivantes, e.g., bouilloire, corde). Cet effet serait dû à la plus grande importance des entités animées que de celle inanimées pour la survie et/ou la reproduction. Traiter ces entités de façon privilégiée a été primordiale pour la survie de nos ancêtres, et en conséquence, pour l’évolution de l’espèce humaine. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous nous sommes focalisés sur l'effet animé en mémoire épisodique afin de mieux comprendre les mécanismes proximaux qui le sous-tendent et ses conditions d’apparition. Ainsi nos principaux résultats ont-ils permis d’établir que l’effet animé en mémoire est : (1) lié au processus de remémoration (rappel conscient de détails contextuels) ; (2) indépendant des ressources cognitives disponibles ; (3) en partie sous tendu par de l’imagerie mentale et (4) modérément modulé par le contexte d’encodage. / According to the adaptive memory view, human memory was shaped in the distant past to remember fitness relevant information (e.g., finding food, protecting ourselves from predators). An increasing number of studies favor this view, by showing that information related to to survival is memorized better than information not related to survival (Nairne, Thompson, & Pandeirada, 2007). Recently, a new type of findings further supports this functional approach of memory: animacy effects, that is to say the observation that animates (living things able of independent movements; e.g., baby, grasshopper) are remembered better than inanimates (non-living things e.g., teakettle, rope). One account of this memory effect has been that animates are of greater importance for survival and/or reproduction. In effect, knowing how to interact with animates was crucial for the survival of our ancestors, and thus, for the evolution of our species. In this work, our main purposes were to identify some proximate mechanisms underpinning animacy effects in episodic memory as well as the contexts in which these effects are observed. Taken overall, our findings accord with the claim that animacy effects in memory are: (1) linked to recollection (conscious recall of contextual details); (2) independent of cognitive resources; (3) partially underpinned by mental imagery and (4) to some extent modulated by encoding context.

Cette thèse traite de portefeuilles d’assurance avec risques dépendants en théorie du risque.<p>Le premier chapitre traite les modèles avec risques équicorrelés. Nous proposons une structure mathématique qui amène à une fonction génératrice de probabilités particulière (fgp) proposé par Tallis. Cette fgp implique des variables équicorrelées. Puis, nous étudions l’effet de ce type de dépendance sur des quantités d’intérêt dans la littérature actuarielle telle que la fonction de répartition de la somme des montants des sinistres, les primes stop-loss et les probabilités de ruine sur horizon fini. Nous utilisons la structure proposée pour corriger des erreurs dans la littérature dues au fait que plusieurs auteurs agissaient comme si la somme des variables aléatoires équicorrélés aient nécessairement la fgp proposée par Tallis. <p><p>Dans le second chapitre, nous proposons un modèle qui combine les modèles avec chocs et les modèles avec mélanges communs en introduisant une variable qui contrôle le niveau du choc. Dans le cadre de ce nouveau modèle, nous considérons deux applications où nous généralisons le modèle de Bernoulli avec choc et le modèle de Poisson avec choc. Nous étudions, dans les deux applications, l’effet de la dépendance sur la fonction de répartition des montants des sinistres, les primes stop-loss et les probabilités de ruine sur horizon fini et infini. Pour la deuxième application, nous proposons une construction basée sur les copules qui permet de contrôler le niveau de dépendance avec le niveau du choc.<p><p>Dans le troisième chapitre, nous proposons, une généralisation du modèle classique de Poisson où les montants des sinistres et les intersinistres sont supposés dépendants. Nous calculons la transformée de Laplace des probabilités de survie. Dans le cas particulier où les montants des sinistres ont une distribution exponentielle nous obtenons des formules explicites pour les probabilités de survie. <p><p>Dans le quatrième chapitre nous généralisons le modèle classique de Poisson en introduisant de la dépendance entre les intersinistres. Nous utilisons le lien entre les files fluides et le processus du risque pour modéliser la dépendance.

The thesis is focused on the design of the reconstruction of the reinforced concrete pre-stressed construction of the clinker reservoir. The supporting system of the structure consists of a reinforced concrete wall on which a prestressing reinforcement is applied in the sprayed concrete layer. Preliminary research revealed disturbances that could disrupt static objects. The aim of this work is to propose a solution for the reinforcement of the supporting structure. The thesis contains two variants of the reconstruction solution. A static report is prepared for the selected option, including the impact of the construction, the construction procedure and the drawing documentation.

Diploma thesis is focused on the design of prestressed concrete membrane from the lightweight concrete. The concrete membrane is in the interaction with the bearing steel structure, which one is supported. I did only one variant of the solution, which was optimized. The goal of the design was determined the initial state of a membrane and ensure to in the end of design working life was the membrane in the compression state and the cracks couldn’t appear. The structure is modelled in the main (longitudinal) direction as a spatial frame in program ANSYS 17.2. This tool enables to perform analysis of the construction stages. The rheology is calculated manually and supplied to the model as relative strain. The whole structure is checked for ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state according to valid Eurocodes. Transverse direction is modelled by shell elements in program RFEM 5.12. Construction stages and global behaviour of the structure were analysed. The checks have been calculated manually and control in program IDEA StatiCa. The attachments of the thesis are drawings, visualisation and schemes of construction stages.

The Master’s thesis is focused on the analysis and design of selected members of load-bearing structure of an apartment house according to the ultimate limit states (ULS) and seviceability limit states (SLS). The calculation and the analysis was supported by design software SCIA ENGINEER 2017. Structural analysis deals with the design of the reinforced concrete floor slab of 1.PP, beams in 1.PP, selected walls in 1.NP and column in 1.PP and 1.NP. Thework beside this deals with the calculation and design of foundation of the object.

The diploma thesis deals with structural solution of the reinforced structures of the polyfunctional building. The structure is designed and assessed for for ultimate limit state in accordance with ČSN EN 1992-1-1: Design of concrete structures – Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings.

The purpose of the master’s thesis is about a concept of a pedestrian bridge´s bearing construction for pedestrian endorsed wires above a highway R35. The work includes a statical construction calculation of the suspended foot bridge of six spans, which has been chosen from three options. The chosen option is built of a monolithic, pre-stressed concrete board supported by suspenders, which is made by segmental elements above the fast highway. Calculation of a longitudinal direction has been made in an ANSYS application. Assembling status and cross direction of the construction has been modelled at SCIA Engineer. The construction´s recognition has been made manually expect of several towers cross-section, where the judgement has been made at IDEA StatiCa.
