title: A model for municipal management of CDW

description: Abstract Construction & demolition waste (CDW) is the waste generated during construction, demolition, renovation and repair works. The generation of CDW is high in the current production systems, organized in line with the generation and disposal of waste materials. In an attempt to alleviate this problem, some municipalities in Brazil have started using differentiated management of CDW, notably after the issue of Resolution 307/2002 (modified by Res. 348/2004, 431/2011 and 448/2012) by the National Environment Council (Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente - Conama) and Law 12,305 /2010, which established the National Policy for Solid Waste (Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos - PNRS). With the aim of helping municipalities to deal with the problem, this article, which results from a doctoral research study, presents a model for municipal management of CDW. Soft systems methodologies were used to map, organise and systematise different practices, legislation requirements, perceptions, concepts and the views of different actors involved with CDW in Brazil. The survey data was from 2009 to 2013, obtained through a literature review, indirect documentation in eight municipalities with good practices and direct documentation in the municipalities of Belo Horizonte and João Pessoa. The model was structured in 3 dimensions, which were subsequently detailed in strategies and targets. This model can help Brazilian municipalities to implement gradual and consistent improvements to deal with the challenge posed by CDW.

title: Investigation of wastes due to unfinished work and their impact on the cycle time of construction processes

description: Abstract Construction waste constitutes an obstacle for the improvement of productivity. Among the different kinds of construction waste, making-do stands out as a source of other types of waste. When Fireman et al. (2013) studied making-do waste, they concluded that it could be triggered by a kind of general waste called unfinished work. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of unfinished work in construction processes and its impact on the cycle time of services. The study consisted in a field survey carried out on five construction sites, involving direct observation. The research tools used were forms, questionnaires and checklists, all adapted from the literature, with the aim of identifying and classifying unfinished work. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with site managers and supervisors. Time measurements were taken to check the impact of unfinished work on cycle time. The results showed that failures in the sequence of tasks associated with failures in quality management were triggers for the unfinished work. The study showed that the construction sites that had formalised short-term plans were able to mitigate the impacts of this type of waste. On most of the construction sites investigated, the planned cycle time was not met, and also that those sites that had larger management teams presented lower added time.

title: Evaluation of tactile floors as a wayfinding element in a special-needs school for children with visual impairment

description: Abstract This article aims to analyze the spatial orientation of visually impaired students in a special education school in the city of São Paulo, before and after the installation of tactile tiles, an important element in the system called wayfinding. In the first phase of the study (October to December, 2012), observations were made with pre-school and elementary school students with visual impairment (blindness and low vision) for evaluation of orientation while moving around in the school building. After a renovation of the existing flooring in 2014, the authors installed tactile signage on the floor (ABNT NBR/9050, 2004) in the circulation areas and initiated the second phase of the study (August and September, 2014) with new observations. The adopted assumptions were considered for determining the case study unit and the criteria for choosing the data collection tool. The study showed that the implementation of tactile signage on the floor in the circulation areas of visually impaired students requires familiarity with its use through guidance and mobility training (O&M), availability and concomitant use of tactile maps, adoption of directional walking sticks, different recess schedules for different classes, definition of circulation paths, security in circulation, and monitoring.

title: Iron precipitation under controlled oxygen flow: Mineralogical implications for BIF precursors in the Archean ocean; X-ray diffraction data

description: Banded iron formation (BIF) deposition in the Archean ocean is thought to have been initiated by the oxidation of dissolved iron into ferric primary precursor phases that descended through the water column and were deposited on the seafloor. Effective interpretation of the trace element and isotopic composition of BIFs in the geologic record requires an understanding of the identity and longevity of those precursor phases.  This study follows the evolution of iron mineralogy, speciation, and redox state during the precipitation of iron under variable oxygen fluxes and in fluids containing different iron complexing anions (chloride, sulfate, and phosphate). Additionally, suspensions collected after incomplete oxidation were anaerobically aged to simulate changes to precursor mineralogy during descent below the seawater redoxcline.

This dataset accompanies the publication of the same name and comprises X-ray diffraction data for all experimental products described therein. The results, interpreted together with results from sequential dissolution, colorimetric determination of redox state, and Fe K-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (not included here), indicate that  under all experimental conditions, intermediate precipitates collected before complete iron uptake contained mineralized ferrous iron. Purely ferric mineral assemblages were not observed until iron was removed from solution. In low-oxygen experiments, intermediate precipitates contained phases with stoichiometric Fe2+, including magnetite, vivianite, and green rust (GR). Chloride green rust (GR1) had more ferric iron than sulfate green rust (GR2) and more readily transitioned to magnetite via disproportionation. GR2 was stable over a broader range of iron uptake; magnetite appeared mainly as an additional oxidation product in sulfate solution. In high oxygen experiments, mineralized ferrous iron occurred in amorphous phases or as a non-stoichiometric component in ferric oxides; final ferric assemblages were less crystalline than in low-oxygen equivalents. 

Low concentrations of phosphate increased the total iron oxidation rate, but also increased the ferrous content of intermediate precipitates. The incorporation of phosphate stabilized GR2 and facilitated GR2 precipitation over a larger range of iron uptake. In higher concentrations of phosphate, vivianite and poorly crystalline ferric hydroxides formed in place of GR. These findings suggest that over a range of possible ocean chemistries, mixed-valence phases may have been short lived but relevant precursors to BIF. Additionally, anionic chemistry and oxidant concentration are shown to influence the crystallinity and chemical resistivity of final ferric assemblages, affecting their reactivity during later anaerobic burial.

title: Streets and recent vertical condos: walled mazes

description: Abstract In Brazil, the process of verticalisation of cities has been intensifying, with an increasingly large number of tall towers. An analysis of the implementation of those new residential high-rise buildings indicates that there is a poor relationship between these private spaces and the streets where they are inserted. These buildings occupy large plots, with extensive façades, and it is clear to see that no consideration was taken regarding their insertion in the urban space. The aim of this study was to investigate street quality in a contemporary environment with vertical occupation. The case study consists of a street in the Gleba Palhano neighbourhood in Londrina, Paraná, Brazil, which presents a high concentration of tall buildings and is currently under consolidation. The theoretical framework of the study enabled the extraction of analytical attributes of public spaces and the analysis of the case study. The results obtained show that this context is detrimental to the daily lives of citizens, since the public space is not used as a place of interaction and social exchange. This paper points to the need to rectify this kind of real estate production in order to create higher quality living environments.

title: Comparative study of roof-harvested rainwater from concrete tiles and green roof for non-potable usage

description: Abstract The article presents a comparison of rainwater quality for rainwater collected from a sloped roof with concrete tiles (residence 1) and from a flat green roof (residence 2). The aims of this study were: (1) to analyze the quality of roof-harvested rainwater based on the guidelines of NBR 15527 (ABNT, 2007) and (2) to monitor the quality of stored rainwater in order to verify the efficiency and performance of both catchment systems. This study was conducted in the city of Curitiba, state of Paraná, Southern Brazil, where rainwater harvesting has been mandatory for new buildings since 2007. Rainwater collected from the roof with concrete tiles showed lower values for turbidity and chemical oxygen demand in most of the results (eight and seven samples, respectively). The green roof contributed to lowering the natural acidity of rainwater. The quality standards for coliforms established by NBR 15527 (ABNT, 2007) were not met in any of the samples collected. Despite the fact that not all parameters met the guidelines established by NBR 15527 (ABNT, 2007), the rainwater is being used for cleaning sidewalks, garden irrigation and toilet flushing, without complaints from its users.

title: BIM components of plumbing systems based on performance criteria

description: Abstract Plumbing systems have numerous components and, in order to make an appropriate choice, several pieces of information must be considered. This research study aims to identify performance-related information based on current technical standards and, using this data, to propose generic BIM components. Constructive research was conducted which included, for a sample of components: an examination of technical documents provided by manufacturers; a survey of the technical information necessary for a performance evaluation based on standards; validation of the technical information selected by a focus group formed by plumbing system designers; the proposition of a model considering this information and proposal and validation of generic BIM components. The main theoretical contributions of this study are the methodology applied to collect technical data for the performance evaluation, the generic model used to characterise the components; and suggestions to incorporate performance-related information into the Brazilian BIM standard. The development of models through the application of this methodology to other plumbing system components will make performance evaluation a decisive variable for selecting solutions and components, thus contributing to the improvement of the design quality of these systems.
