During the steel production process, industrial waste is generated, including granulated blast furnace slag and balloon powder, generated in the pig iron production stage; and electric arc furnace dust, obtained in the production stage of the steelworks. In the northern region, the highlight in steel production is SINOBRAS - Siderúrgica Norte Brasil SA, located in the municipality of Marabá-PA, which also experiences the problem of waste disposal, and therefore has been supporting partnerships with educational institutions in the region for expansion of destination alternatives. Thus, this research aims to evaluate the influence of waste from the SINOBRAS industry, granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), balloon powder (BP) and electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) in cementitious matrices, predicting applications in mass concrete for dams . The research methodology was carried out in two stages, the first being directed towards the study of waste, analyzing its physicochemical and mineralogical characteristics, the pozzolanicity potential according to ABNT NBR 12653:2015, and classification according to the type of solid waste according to ABNT NBR 10004:2004. The second stage of the methodology comprised the analysis of cement matrices composed of the residues, combined with GBFS (GBFS70+BP30; GBFS50+EAFD50), in order to increase the potential performance of the properties verified for mass concrete, with compressive strength tests being carried out, setting times, heat of hydration and alkali-aggregate reaction. It was concluded in the residue study stage that BP and EAFD did not present pozzolanic properties, indicating that they are not interesting for applications of cementitious materials. As for the classification, the GBFS and the BP were classified as class IIA waste - non-hazardous and non-inert, while the EAFD was classified as class I - hazardous. In the second stage of the study, the EAFD combined with the GBFS showed pozzolanicity and the BP, even after combination, remained non-pozzolanic. Evaluating the combined cementitious matrices, the (GBFS50+EAFD50) obtained satisfactory results in all properties, since it promoted a reduction of heat of hydration by 7% and, consequently, an increase in setting times (about 6 hours), and mitigation of expansion reactions, in aggregates gravel and sand by 49%. and 75% respectively. Therefore, the use of the matrix GBFS50+EAFD50, in the studied content, can be a technically viable alternative for applications in mass concrete for dams, being necessary, however, to advance in the research, aiming to produce the concrete traces composed by the matrix combined (GBFS50+EAFD50).

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-12-21) RAMOS, Jaqueline Pinheiro; VILHENA, Karyme do Socorro de Souza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3071495983880548
The construction of dams and their reservoirs generates a series of problems, among them, it is mentioned the erosions in the banks of the reservoirs. The soils forming the UHE-Tucuruí region are subject to different uses and occupations that over time have undergone changes with the seasonality of the lake and the increasing use of land, without considering the potentials and limitations of the soil. Some of these areas already show signs of degradation and erosion occurrence points are also identified. The present work seeks to determine the chemical and physical attributes for the evaluation of erodibility in soils located in the reservoir area of Tucuruí Hydroelectric Power Plant. With the selection of native forest, planting and pasture areas, the collected and deformed samples were collected to perform the chemical and physical tests at the Civil Engineering Laboratory of the Federal University of Pará at the Campus Universitário de Tucuruí. After obtaining the results of the physical and chemical properties of the soils can be prescribed the changes caused by the difference of their use and occupation, in the comparative between the areas, the established parameters showed the chemical degradation of the soil and the loss of nutrients that trigger the erosive processes. Multivariate analysis techniques were applied: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Grouping Analysis (HCA) to correlate the variables, the understanding of the data set was facilitated and the interrelation between the variables and samples became clearer, From these analyzes, it was possible to determine that the pasture area in the superficial layer is the one that most differs from the others, when considering all the attributes analyzed and the extracted samples, in addition, the multivariate analysis highlighted the information set, which variables are undergoing changes as a consequence of anthropic activity.

Análise computacional do rompimento hipotético da barragem de Tucuruí-PA com o auxílio do software Mike Flood
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-10-10) SANTOS, Marlon Braga dos; GOUVEIA, Fernanda Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1772072130947378; SANTOS, Viviane Almeida dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1489376127395764
Present work seeks to elaborate flood maps and to perform the flood wave analysis, due to the hypothetical break of the dam of the Tucuruí Hydroelectric Power Plant (Tucuruí HPP), using commercial software MIKE FLOOD. For such purpose, are considered, the overtopping scenario and the total rupture of the Tucuruí HPP concrete dam. Methodology adopted for the research consisted of the collection of technical information regarding the damming, in addition the hydrological study of the areas upstream and downstream of the dam, that are essential for the definition of the input parameters in the computational model to be elaborated. Computational hydrodynamic modeling was carried out in three stages: the first consisted of an one-dimensional analysis in MIKE 11 software; subsequently, with the MIKE 21 software, the triangular calculation mesh was generated for the two-dimensional analysis; and finally, the coupled analysis of the two models previously developed with the MIKE FLOOD software was proceeded. Results indicated areas of flood of up to 84.71 km² for the first one hundred and ten minutes after the rupture gap formation, with a reaction time of approximately eight minutes for the resident population in the urban area of Tucuruí, indicating high potential of loss of human life. It should be noted that the hypothetical floodplain covers residential areas and the commercial center of the city, as well as several urban facilities and public agencies, in addition of one of the most important access roads to the city, BR 422, which restricts the definition of evacuation of the affected population. Thus, it is concluded that the consequences of the rupture of the Tucuruí HPP for the analyzed scenario justify the elaboration of an Emergency Action Plan that guarantees the population security the downstream and that minimizes the economic and environmental impacts resulting from such event.

The present work aims to analyze the ground cover, of the Belo Monte Dam complex region using NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), calculated from TM / Landsat 5 and OLI / Landsat 8 images from 2008 to 2018. The use of images over the 10-year period can continuously identify trends in the pixels due to the change in land use. The mapping consisted of a polygon (buffer) on each side of the Xingu River, the images obtained during the dry period, in the Imaging Division of the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The scenes were processed and the thematic maps generated in ArcGIS® 10.2.2. and the NDVI tool was applied for the mapping of areas and then a grid was generated with the processed values, than the creation of thematic classes based on intervals of index values, for the generation of thematic images, with associated defined value intervals to a color scale. The reduction in NDVI values in the years 2008, 2009, 2016 and 2017 shows the direct influence of the decrease in vegetation due to deforestation. It is checked that during the time series, that from 2013 to 2016 there was a constancy in the NDVI values, indicating that in those years there were no major losses of plant biomass. Thus, the application of the index shows an efficiency when analyzing the behavior of the vegetation made it possible to verify a huge loss of plant biomass and increase of exposed soil due to the implantation of the Belo Monte Dam.

Análise da contaminação e distribuição espacial de metais pesados em áreas de influência de mineração em um estuário tropical na Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-02-19) SILVA, Matheus Cavalcante; MONTE, Christiane do Nascimento; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6178162183692365; ISHIHARA, Júnior Hiroyuki; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3498874642887006; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0081-7913
Tropical estuaries are often impacted by heavy metals, but the spatial distribution and contamination of these pollutants have been insufficiently investigated between sediments and water in South America, especially in the little-studied regions of the Amazon. In order to contribute to this gap, this study investigated the spatial distribution and contamination of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) in the surface waters and sediments of the Pará River Estuary (PRE) (Pará, Brazil), which has been affected by various mining activities. Thus, different procedures were integrated, including a systematic review of the literature on tailings spill events and impacts derived from these events, sedimentary and mineralogical characterization, estimation of organic matter in the sediment, physical-chemical parameters of the water, determination of metals in the sediment and water, contamination assessment indices and statistical analyses. The results showed that the kaolin tailings storage systems in Barcarena-PA are more unsafe than the alternative disposal systems reported in the literature, resulting in kaolin tailings leaking into regional water bodies and spreading areas used for bathing. On the other hand, the disposal of bauxite tailings in the area prioritizes alternative systems with higher solids content, facilitating control actions. In addition, the bauxite and kaolin tailings had predominantly silty fractions and mineralogy marked by the presence of aluminum hydroxides. All the samples showed low concentrations of heavy metals in the sediments, suggesting the action of resuspension in an area with predominantly sandy sediments. As an exception, Cd showed high concentrations in Murucupi and Furo do Arrozal, which triggered high levels of contamination in these areas. All the sampling sites indicated that there was a high concentration of heavy metals and a high degree of contamination of the water, except in the vicinity of Vila do Conde. Furthermore, high ecological risks are associated with the metals present in the water from anthropogenic activities, compromising the quality of the estuarine ecosystem.

Análise da influência do uso e ocupação da terra na concentração de sólidos em suspensão em reservatório hidrelétrico com o uso do sensoriamento remoto
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-07-09) SOUZA, Fabíola Esquerdo de; SOARES, Carlos Benedito Santana da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9153957633685323; ISHIHARA, Júnior Hiroyuki; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3498874642887006; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0081-7913
The use of remote sensing in reservoir sediment monitoring is important for temporal spac knowledge of sediment deposition in dam structures. In this context, this research was developed in the hydrographic basin that covers the Tucuruí HOU reservoir, in which suspended sediment concentration data from the M1 monitoring station located at 2 km upstream of the dam were acquired, and were integrated into the analyses to understand the relationship between the responses of satellite images and field measurements. Sediment analyses were performed with 14-year time series of MODIS images, composed of 8 days. Surface reflectance estimates were calculated using simplinear regression and coefficient of determination (R2). For the use and occupation of the land of the hydrographic basin, a temporal analysis of Landsat-5, Landsat-8 OLI/TIRS images was performed. Next, the land use and occupation were related to water quality analyses of stations upstream 1 (M1), Amount Repartimento (MR) and Montante Pacurui (MP). The results show that the calibration curve generated the linear regression equation with good fit for MI monitoring station, presenting efficiency in the data estimated by reflectance through this model. The analyses of land use and occupation show that over the years there was a reduction in forest formation and at the same time pasture growth occurred. In relation to water quality, the impacts caused by anthropic actions have negative influences. Thus, it is possible to observe the relevance of the use of remote sensing techniques, geoprocessing and geotechnologies, as instruments that help in the planning of land use and occupation, in the analysis of water quality and management of water resources in reservoir regions, since these technologies enable greater spatial scope of the analyses with lower costs.

The Tocantins - Araguaia hydrographic region has become a major power in the generation of hydraulic energy with the installation of large hydroelectric plants and the formation of several artificial lakes, resulting in hydrological changes and possible changes in the microclimate and rainfall. The analysis of rainfall behavior in the hydrographic basin becomes of fundamental importance for the management of water resources. In order to subsidize the management and planning of water resources in the region, an analysis of the spatial-temporal rainfall variability was carried out in the Lake HPP-Tucuruí / PA region, being divided into 4 quadrants (NE, NO , SO and SE) and 12 sub-areas (NE50, NE100, NE200, NO50, NO100, NO200, SO50, SO100, SO200, SE50, SE100 and SE200), considering the period of 30 years (1988-2017), in order to analyze the behavior of the rains in the region. To this end, data were collected and analyzed from 30 pluviometric stations that appear in the database of the ANA platform (HidroWeb base), within a radius of up to 200 km from the hydroelectric plant. With the aid of the QGIS 3.0.3 software, the isohyets maps were drawn using the linear ordinary kriging interpolation method, representing the heights of the water slides. The results showed variability in the spatial and temporal distribution of the total volume precipitated in the referred period of study, identified in the results of standard deviation and variance, in addition to the result of the trend of rains by Mann Kendall's non-parametric tests. The pluviometric indexes showed decreases, when analyzing the entire study area, with an average rainfall of 2157.73 mm. There was a greater decrease in precipitation in the southern part of the region, which showed lower rainfall. In the northern regions, where the artificial lake formed by the Tucuruí dam is found, there were higher rainfall averages. The Mann-Kendall (MK) results showed a greater decrease in the quadrants of the microscale (close to the bus), especially at NO50, which showed a significant trend of decreasing rainfall in the study region (Z = -2.24).

As a result of the latest accidents involving the dam collapse scenario in Brazil and the strong demand from society and supervisory bodies demanding more safety in dam projects, Eletronorte, responsible for HPP Tucuruí, in 2017 prepared the Safety Plan, and in 2023, together with the municipalities located in the ZAS (Self-rescue Zone), it consolidated the integration of Emergency and Contingency Plans. In this sense, this work aimed to analyze the response actions to the Tucuruí dam collapse scenario in the context of municipalities located in ZAS. The methodological steps used to achieve the results were as follows: Characterize the Tucuruí HPP and the municipalities located in the ZAS (Tucuruí and Breu Branco); Description of the history of preparation and integration, PAE-UHE Tucuruí and PLANCONS of the ZAS municipalities; Evaluate the structuring of COMDECs in the ZAS municipalities, based on the criteria of the COMDECs Diagnostic Report in Brazil and Evaluate the operational logistics of the SCI (Incident Command System) defined in the PLANCONs of Tucuruí and Breu Branco. The results revealed that COMDECs are deficient in terms of training, and in Tucuruí, agents need additional training that meets the thematic axes offered by the National Civil Protection and Defense System – SINPDEC. At COMDEC Breu Branco, a lack of training for all members was identified, with courses being carried out only by the coordination. The financial resources verified to support COMDECs' actions are only allocated in cases of occurrences and there is no preventive financial planning in both municipalities. In terms of infrastructure, COMDEC in Breu Branco is not capable of operating in this emergency scenario, as it has limitations in terms of response support from the 8th GBM. Finally, this study presented, for the first time, the weaknesses observed in the context of the collapse of the Tucuruí dam, in terms of the operationalization of the PAE-PLANCONs in the ZAS municipalities, demonstrating that the COMDECS need better structuring and that the Plans must undergo planning adjustments, aiming for better effectiveness in response actions, which can reduce the vulnerability of the population in the post-disaster period.

Due to tragic accidents related to the failure of tailings dams in Minas Gerais, the disposal of tailings in dams has become an increasingly urgent topic of discussion, especially in relation to the risks associated with this approach. Consequently, mining companies have sought to implement alternative methods for managing tailings resulting from their operations. However, in this direction, the work analyzes the level of the environmental impact in the area of influence of tailings dams in the municipality of Poconé – MT, identifying the major damages that can be caused by a tailings dam rupture. To this end, maps of environmental impacts on the selected dams were created, using the software QGIS, also known as Quantum GIS. The Kernel method was also used, which is an analytical approach that is frequently applied in the assessment of risks and environmental sensitivity in relation to mining tailings dams. The results of the research revealed that throughout the work it was possible to observe that the mining tailings dams existing in the municipal limit of Poconé/MT are defined as structures that promote a “very high” environmental impact, mainly in the urban area than if it occurs the rupture could affect legal preservation areas and the city's drainage system, thus impacting the life of the community in general. With the data obtained, it was possible to analyze the environmental impact of tailings dams on local communities, including the possible relocation of families, access to drinking water and the health of people living nearby. Therefore, the analysis of the environmental impact in the area of influence of tailings dams in Poconé, Mato Grosso, is a crucial part of the responsible management process of mining activities, as it can help develop strategies to mitigate these impacts and ensure the protection of the environment.

In Brazil, an execution of earth dams or earth dams are quite common methods and used mainly to meet the demands of mining, irrigation or water storage for the production of hydroelectric energy. It is the importance or the monitoring and safety analysis of these rules to reduce environmental risks, safety factors, technological factors and observe the behavior and performance when planned. This dissertation seeks to understand dam safety monitoring procedures using items 01-A, 01-B and 01-C of the Belo Monte HPP intermediate reservoir by studying the different processes to ensure the safety of organizations. The methodological tracking adopted was carried out through the collection of technical information related to the studied structures, analysis of construction projects and verification of the methodologies adopted to contemplate the filling of reservoirs, reading of all or checklists that are field inspections, in addition to the data of the graphs, results of the auscultation instruments located in the body of the buses in the period of execution and operation that comprised the years 2015 to 2018. The type of research refers to a case study of documentary nature, since they are analyzed safety monitoring data in addition to the behavior of structures. The results reveal that, when compared to the safety procedures adopted at the international level, there is a shortage of the Brazilian safety inspection bodies, it refers to a more specific and clear methodology regarding the process of the first test of a reservoir, and in general lines , non-involved monitoring methods if associated, non-compliance in non-mandatory visual inspections or an instrumental reading outside the reference adopted as safety. However, when different non-conformities and / or anomalies present themselves both in visual inspection and in instrument monitoring, this action requires corrective action in the short term, as it is considered an unfavorable scenario in the security of the structure and associated with the strengthened correlation. to display a downstream of the structures.

Brazil is considered a country highly rich in water availability, however, it is not always in a condition to use, or there is no equal distribution among the states and municipalities of the country. In this way, conflicts can arise associated to the access and distribution of this water resource. Therefore, this study aims to analyze conflicts over water use in the Mid Tocantins River Basin District. To do so, the methodology used was to carry out the following steps: morphometric characterization of the river basin, identification of multiple uses and respective volumes granted both upstream and downstream of Estreito / MA UHE, identification of the main agents and possible actors in areas of conflict, modeling the behavior of agents and the environment and conducting conflict analysis based on the Games Theory, making it possible to propose mitigating measures. With respect to the morphometric characterization of the hydrographic basin, it has a low tendency to great floods, presented a degree of branching of the waterways of 5th order and an average altitude of 259 m. Regarding the multiple uses with federal grant, there is a difference in relation to the granting purpose upstream and downstream of the Estreito Dam, having as the largest user upstream, irrigation, and as the main user downstream of the UHE, industry. Regarding the analysis of conflicts over water use, after the application of game theory, it was verified that both upstream and downstream had several conflict agents, characterizing the generation of electric energy as the largest generator of them. It is concluded that the main mitigating measure is the proposition of greater interaction and dialogue among the agents that generate conflict, because in this way, the greater the probability of minimizing the problems of access, distribution and conflicts over the use of water. And, the application of game theory proved to be ffective, presenting a differential in the analysis of conflicts, making it possible to reiterate the importance of dialogue and interaction between the sectors of water use within the catchment area of the middle Tocantins.

The vibrations induced by blasting in mining are finite waves that can disrupt geotechnical structures. For the present research, seismographs were installed in various positions along a slope with approximately two hundred meters of difference in height from the bottom of the pit to the top, in order to analyze the speed and acceleration of the particles at the moment of the wave transmission and their consequences to the stability of rocky mass. It is known that the course of these vibratory oscillations causes the particles to move and then return to the equilibrium state. Therefore, it is important to study which waves were generated in the detonation and their behavior in the lithology covered. A slope in the selected mine, Vale S.A. property, was analyzed, which is composed mostly of phyllite and quartzite, sometimes continuous, sometimes discontinuous, as there is a fractured zone of N / S orientation that extends from the top of the slope to its base. In this context, there are at least 3 fracture directions that act as an escape zone for groundwater, constituting a geotechnical problem of material disaggregation, resulting in great erosion. The vibrations induced by the detonations of explosives in the mine can increase the erosion condition when they propagate through the fractured area. The highest seismographic reading obtained among the seismographs was used in this study and the evaluation of the reduction in the safety factor of selected sections was carried out. Later, the maximum value for vibration in which the slope remains stable is also calculated, on Slide2 software. The evaluation of the results on the slope Allowed the interpretation of the effects of vibrations on the slopes reduced between 4.1% and 4.8% the values of the safety factors and shows that the lower the slope safety factor, the greater this interference from the vibration in the stability of the structure. A difference equal to 8% was observed when comparing the section with the highest Safety Factor and the one with the lowest Safety Factor.

Knowledge of the location of reservoirs of water bodies is extremely important for the study and management of water resources. However, the registration of such information is mandatory for large dams, however, it is performed in a purely informative manner by most entrepreneurs, and it is up to them to correctly inform the data or simply ignore its importance. The cost of on-site registration is high, in addition to taking a long time on the part of environmental agencies such as ANA, ANM, SEMAS. In this sense, orbital images can offer maps of buslocations at low cost, covering large areas, including difficult to access. The present work has as main objective to perform a temporal space analysis through the MNDWI index, with the objective of subsidizing the registration and location of the buses in the state of Pará, which have an area of water depth greater than 3,600m², using for this purpose , 192 imagesof the Landsat sensor that cover the entire state territory. The results obtained showed a significant increase of 656% in the total number of dams in the last 20 years, mainly in the eastern region of the State. Having identified 3,704 dams in the State of Pará, however, only a total of 314 are registered on the ANA website, throughout the State. It was also identified the relationship between the largest cattle and soybean producing cities as the cities with the highest number of buses. It can be concluded that the method used proved to be efficient, since it managed to efficiently characterize the evolution of the dams over time, as well as their distribution and spatial variation, thus being able to assist in the planning of the inspection bodies in the identification of the most critical sites that need to be inspected, thus making inspection more effective and allowing better management of water resources.

The safety of dams is associated to the stability of the structures that compose them. In a earthfill dam, there are mentioned the slopes, which are surfaces that form an angle with the horizontal one. Its study using numerical methods, like the finite element method (FEM), makes possible the estimate of displacements, stresses and strains. It is aimed in this study to contribute in the efficiency of the numerical analysis devoted to the slopes. Through the development of a resource turned specifically to dams, the objective in the present work is to present an algorithm able to check the stability of slopes in the period of its construction using a numerical method without mesh. For the proposed analyses, there was used the element free Galerkin method (EFGM), applying it in the strength reduction method (SRM). After the idealization of a model and solution using the limit equilibrium method and the strength reduction method with the help of the FEM, both in commercial software (GeoStudio), there were obtained and were compared the results of a model in which there is applied the strength reduction method with the use of the EFGM. The analysis by the strength reduction method was divided in determination of the in situ stresses of the foundation, construction of the landfill and strength reduction of the soil. Numerically, in the stage of getting the in situ stresses, the EFGM presented better result when compared to FEM, taking as a reference the classic mathematical model of the soil mechanics for subhorizontal surfaces. In the stages of construction of the landfill and of strength reduction, the relative approximation error the EFGM regarding the FEM was nearly always superior to 5%. However, it noticed if that in the main answers, i.e. in the determination of the slip surface and of the strength reduction factor, the results were similar, as in the strength reduction method, with the EFGM regarding the FEM, as that regarding the limit equilibrium method. In the comparison with the FEM, there were obtained more conservative strength reduction factors. In spite of being an information not available openly, it concluded if that the elastoplastic constitutive model used in the commercial software is not the linear elastic perfectly plastic model, which was hypothesis adopted for the EFGM. Besides the differences due to the behavior idealized for the material, the application of meshfree method also requires more studies related to the definition of the representation of the domain. The main advantage of the adoption of the proposed method is the possibility to test more parameters in less time, which makes it useful in preliminary construction studies. For that, it must be observed that, in spite of the limitations in displacement estimation, which are useful to associate numerical results to the observations in field, the conditions in which there is slip at slope can be appreciated in satisfactory, conformable way when it was shown in comparisons with the most used methods.

The construction of dams became necessary for national development, the Amazon region, for having a great hydro-energetic potential, was also used for the construction of these projects. River Araguari's hydrographic basin has three hydroelectric dams (Coaracy Nunes, Ferreira Gomes and Cachoeira Caldeirão) built in its middle course, in the municipality of Ferreira Gomes, however the construction generated several problems, such as loss of territoriality, difficulties in subsistence of villages and the environment modification. However, in 1998, there was the enactment of the Seringal Triunfo National Heritage Private Reserve, which aims to conserve biodiversity. Therefore, there is a need for studies aimed at improving the knowledge of vegetation cover, which have occurred since the enactment of the RPPN. In this sense, the present study sought to understand whether there were changes in the vegetation cover in the RPPN from 2000 to 2015, after its approval and with the construction of UHE Ferreira Gomes and Cachoeira Caldeirão. For this, remote sensing data were used. Twelve images obtained from the TM/Landsat-5, ETM+/Landsat 7 and OLI/Landsat-8 satellites were used, delimiting the study area with the creation of two polygons (buffer), one located within the RPPN and another adjacent with approximately the same size. Digital processing techniques were applied to these images with the aid of pixel counting software. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was calculated, making it possible to obtain the median. The obtained results show that the image processing allowed differentiate its constituent elements (vegetal cover and exposed soil). The calculation of the NDVI medians, for the scenes between the years 2000 to 2015, in the area located within the RPPN ranged from 0,37 to 0,64 and the medians of the adjacent area ranged from 0,29 to 0,63, thus, the statistical analysis showed no relationship with the years (F1,10 = 0,02 and P = 0,87), indicating that during the analyzed period there was a stability in the vegetation cover, the same occurred for the adjacent area (F1,10 = 0,11 and P = 0,74). This stability in the area of the RPPN may be related to the role it plays in nature conservation and in the adjacent area to the stagnation of population growth in the municipality. The use of images from remote sensors proved to be a very valuable tool for the present research, even without carrying out an on-site visit, it was possible to calculate the NDVI. Therefore, it is recommended for future work to analyze the NDVI from years prior to 2000, that is, years prior to the approval of the RPPN, as well as on-site visits, for the validation of the components observed in the NDVI, for the NDVI classification to the studied locality.

The Formoso River Project, located in the state of Tocantins, is the largest irrigation project in Latin America and its structures, made up of three dams, have worried the supervisory body due to the compromised state of conservation of these structures, with evidence of pathologies and anomalies at various points. The state government, which is the developer of the dams, in 2012 even contracted revitalization projects for the enterprise, but to date the works have not been carried out, which makes the safety of the dams more vulnerable. The general objective of the research is to analyze the risk situation of the Calumbi II dam, which makes up the Rio Formoso irrigation project, through the application of the FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) risk tool, identifying the most likely failure modes and with greater potential. Other objectives would be: the description of the interventions recommended by the consultancy hired by the entrepreneur and the critical analysis of the lack of dam safety management. The research methodology was based on four stages: a) characterization of the Rio Formoso Project and the case study dam; b) survey of anomalies and pathologies found in the dam; c) application of the FMEA risk tool and d) critical analysis of the dam's safety management case study. The results indicated that the Calumbi II dam presents several pathologies and anomalies (presence of large trees and shrub vegetation on the crest, retraction cracks, erosion and water surges on the slopes), and that despite the dam operating at minimum levels, failures may occur. The FMEA tool demonstrated that the highest priority failure mode would be upstream slope instability (NPR=336), secondly, failure due to piping (NPR=320) and thirdly, but more remote, failure due to dam overtopping ( NPR=144). From the aspect of the analysis of the safety management of the Calumbi II Dam, the vulnerability of the enterprise was concluded, since the dam does not have a PSB or PAE, it does not have installed instrumentation, there is no professional responsible for safety, it does not have studies of risk assessments, does not receive regular periodic inspections by the supervisory body.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-03-05) RAMBO, Luis Henrique; SILVA, Adriano Frutuoso da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3321059172343690
In recent years, dams in Brazil have been constantly related to the occurrence of numerous engineering problems, whether in design, construction methods, control, monitoring, instrumentation, etc., these situations were created as a result of some accidents that occurred, such as Mariana's cases and Brumadinho / MG. The inadequate design and construction of these structures represents a great risk to society, the environment and the economy. Thus, in this work, we chose, as a case study, to analyze the safety of the Laborrie tailings dam, located in the Lourenço district, in the state of Amapá, based on risk analysis and associated potential damage. The methodologies used were: SABESP, COGERH (modified), USACE, CNRH Res. 143/2012 and ANM Ordinance 70.389 / 2017. The study identified the similarity in the methods, oscillating in the weights used for calculations, as well as identified the method that does not use any relevant item in the analysis of tailings dams. Therefore, it is concluded that for the Laborrie Dam case study, the use for risk assessment of tailings dams using the ANM methodology and resolution 143, are the most indicated, which does not invalidate the use of the other methodologies, however, each particularity of the proposed method must be analyzed, in order to fill in the information that really has relevance and direct impact in the search for a closer approximation of the result.

The decharacterization of tailings has become an extremely relevant and urgent topic in the contemporary global scenario. Given the recent disasters and environmental tragedies resulting from the collapse of mining dams in Brazil in 2015 and 2019, the need to implement efficient and safe processes for the deactivation and recovery of these structures has become imperative. The complexity inherent to this type of enterprise demands a careful and comprehensive approach in evaluating the available options. The simple selection of an alternative based on a single criterion, such as financial cost or deadline, for example, can result in adverse consequences and negative impacts from both a technical, economic, environmental and social point of view. Given the above, this dissertation aims to explore the importance of analyzing alternatives considering multiple criteria in the process of choosing the best solution for the mining dam decharacterization project. Through a literature review and presentation of a case study of the decharacterization of a Manganese dam using the assessment of technical, environmental, economic and socioeconomic requirements as a decisive element in choosing the solution to be detailed. The methodology consists of analyzing the proposed alternative scenarios, including the definition and weighting of the multiple variables to be evaluated. The result obtained demonstrates that the adoption of multiple criteria, which encompass not only economic aspects, but also environmental, social, technical and safety aspects, was fundamental to guarantee a well-informed and sustainable decision. It was evidenced that the analysis of multiple criteria was also able to favor the decision-making process in mining dam decharacterization solutions, facilitating traceability and understanding between the stakeholders involved in projects of this nature.

The construction of hydroelectric power plants in the world is based on increasing demand for energy and river flood control. At the national level they are alternatives due to the great Brazilian hydroelectric potential. The Tucuruí Hydro-Power Complex is located in the Tocantins-Araguaia Basin and over 1,100 islands have been formed from the filling of the reservoir, inhabited by some 6,500 people, most of whom have vegetable extraction and animal husbandry as their source of income. Among these islands, one can highlight the Germoplasma Island, which is a permanent preservation area (APP) and is located 3 km from the Tucuruí dam. This island was created in order to guarantee the conservation of the plant genetic material of the region flooded by the dam. On the island of germplasm, some forest matrices planted on the courts are perishing. In other courts the productivity of the forest species is decreasing. This problem can hinder the extraction of seeds for seedling production and propagation. The purpose of this research was to determine the physical and chemical attributes of the soil and characterize the area in situ (PC3), shade planting (Q18) and full sun planting (Q17) ex situ area of the germplasm island located in the lake of the Tucuruí hydroelectric power station. Deformed composite samples were collected from 10 to 30 sub-samples in each area at depths of 0-10cm and 10-20cm. The samples were then prepared and analyzed in the Civil Engineering Laboratory of the Federal University of Pará at the Tucuruí University Campus. The chemical and physical results of the soils were submitted to the Tukey statistical test at 5% probability, Hierarchical Grouping Analysis (HCA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results of the soil chemical and physical analyses made it possible to understand the characteristics of the germplasm island areas. The highest levels of calcium and magnesium were found in Q17, due to the management performed in the plantation. Moreover, it presents high weathering and low organic matter content, and therefore, low Cation Exchange Capacity. In relation to the Q17 and Q18 planting areas, the shading planting provides the best conditions for the development of plant species and maintenance of soil quality, as it showed similarity between the chemical attributes of the natural vegetation area. From the data obtained and statistical analysis, there was greater similarity between the areas PC3 and Q18. Through the results of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) it was possible to visualize the contribution of soil chemical attributes in the characterization of the studied areas. The soil chemical attributes that contributed the most were: ∆pH (-0.333), Al3+ (-0.332) and pH H2O (0.323), H+ (-0.534), Fe2+ (0.410) and AP (-0.379). Hierarchical Component Analysis (HCA) confirmed the results obtained in Principal Component Analysis (PCA).
