Se presenta un modelo dinámico de múltiples mercados financieros, organizados como limit order markets, en el cual agentes endógenamente toman decisiones óptimas para maximizar el valor esperado de sus ganacias. Los agentes toman sus decisiones considerando incentivos propios, condiciones de mercado, potenciales decisiones de trading futuras y diferentes estrategias adoptadas por otros agentes. Para efectos de la presente investigación, se compara el escenario de un único mercado financiero ( single market ) con un escenario de dos mercados interconectados que compiten por el flujo de órdenes ( multi markets ). Los resultados indican que la posibilidad de transar en múltiples mercados, beneficia ampliamente a agentes sin valoración privada por el activo, ya que buscan oportunidades de transar en ambos mercados, mientras que perjudica el bienestar de agentes con motivación intrínseca para transar, dado que obtienen peores condiciones de negociación. Por otro lado, se observa una reducción en varias medidas de liquidez en multi markets, lo que sugiere la existencia de externalidades positivas asociadas a mercados consolidados.

Texto completoThis thesis deals with slope stability evolutions carried out by commonly used limit equilibrium (LE) and finite element (FE) methods. The study utilizes two LE based software (SLOPE/W and SLIDE) and one FE based software (PLAXIS). The principal difference between these two analyses approaches is that the LE methods are based on the static of equilibrium whereas FE methods utilise the stress‐strain relationship or constitutive law.
To fulfil one of the aims of the study, the LE based methods are compared based on the factor of safety (FOS) obtained for various load combinations. The comparison is mainly based on simplified slope geometry and assumed input parameters. Among the LE methods, the Bishop simplified (BS), Janbu simplified (JS) and Janbu GPS methods are compared with the Morgenstern‐Price method (M-PM). The two latter methods satisfy both force and moment equilibriums. In addition, M-PM allows a variable interslice force function. These LE methods are well established for many years, and thus some of them are still commonly used in practice for stability analysis. Simplicity and relatively good results are the advantages of these methods.
The comparative study among the LE methods shows that BSM is as good as M-PM for normal condition in circular shear surface (SS) analysis. Similarly, JSM is as good as M‐PM for plane SS analysis. Moreover, the study shows that BSM is insensitive to interslice forces in circular SS analysis, whereas JSM is insensitive to interslice forces in plane SS analysis.This is true for the analyses without any external forces acting in slopes. With some external forces, both methods may be sensitive to the interslice force function, and thus the analyses may result in either higher or lower FOS compared with M-PM. Even if the M-PM assumes an interslice force function in analysis, the method is found suitable, because the method satisfies both force and moment equilibrium conditions. The comparison between Janbu’s GPS method and the M‐PM shows a very good agreement with nominal difference (<2%) in the FOS.
Moreover, the M-PM has been compared with results from the FE analyses. Compared with the FE (PLAXIS) analyses, the LE (M-PM) analyses may estimate 5 – 14% higher FOS, depending on the conditions of a dry slope and a fully saturated slope with hydrostatic pore pressure distributions. For fully saturated conditions in the slope, inaccurate computation of stresses in LE methods may have resulted in larger difference in the computed FOS.
Since, the FE software is based on stress-strain relationship, stress redistributions are surely better computed even for a complicated problem. This has been found one of the advantages in FE simulations. A parameter study shows that the application of a positive dilatancy angle in FE analysis can significantly improve the FOS (4 - 10%). On contrast, the shear surface optimization in LE (M-PM in SLOPE/W) analysis results in lower FOS, and thus minimizing the difference in FOS compared with FE analysis. Thus, the optimisation of the circular SS in LE analyses and application of dilatancy angle in FE analyses may provide very good agreement in FOS keeping the variations less than 5%.
Instability of natural and built-in slopes has been a serious geotechnical challenge, particularly in mountainous countries like Nepal, where a large number of water-induced disasters are experienced every year. Since the country lies in a relatively active earthquake zone, earthquake events may adversely affect the long-term stability of slopes along the highways, around hydropower installations and elsewhere. The selected case study from the Middle Marsyangdi Hydroelectric Project (MMHEP) in Nepal was carried out, focusing on both the groundwater and earthquake effects on long-term stability of slopes. In addition, the analyses were performed for pore pressure distributions by seepage analyses and pseudo-static and dynamic earthquake events imposed in the case slopes.
Another important contribution of this study has been the investigations of the shear strength parameters for the case study slopes. The investigation ranges from the basic index tests, which were carried out to characterize material properties and establish a basis for building-in the test specimens, to the most advanced triaxial tests. Additionally, both consolidated drained and undrained triaxial tests were conducted, aiming to find any differences in the strength parameters. A total of twenty-four triaxial tests from four different soil samples, taken from the case study slopes, were conducted to define the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope, and thus obtained the effective shear strength parameters (c’, φ’) for stability evaluations. In addition, the coefficients of permeability were investigated as an important input for seepage analyses.
Two slopes, one located at the dam site and the other at the powerhouse of the MMHEP, were evaluated for long-term stability conditions. The study, carried out using the monitored groundwater table, reveals that the groundwater is the potential destabilizing factor in the slopes. Both hydrostatic pore pressure distributions with phreatic surface correction and seepage analysis were carried out in the stability analysis. The pore pressure distributions from the seepage analyses indicated critically stable slopes particularly at the toe areas. However, a significant improvement in the FOS was found with lowered groundwater table. Moreover, the study, carried out for the pseudo-static analysis with the selected earthquake acceleration coefficient, shows that otherwise stable slopes become critical in earthquake events. However, the case slopes were found to have higher FOS than the recommended minimum value for such conditions. The dynamic earthquake simulations indicate both positive excess pore pressure and suction developed during the earthquakes. The applied earthquake acceleration of 0.15g (35% of PGA, where PGA = 4.2 m/s2)) shows critical conditions in the slopes. Moreover, larger accumulated displacements were found close to the slope surface compared to the inner side of the slopes. In addition, the dynamic analyses further indicate plastic points all over the slopes and increased shear strains in a particular location.
Nevertheless, the difference in FOS found from the LE and FE analyses may have a little interest, if there is a large uncertainty in the input parameters. Therefore, priority should be given to investigate the shear strength parameters and precise mapping of the slope geometry before selecting an appropriate analysis method. Most preferably, a slope should be analyzed by FE methods, else otherwise by LE based M‐PM or GPS method with investigated input parameters.

Modellerna beskiver hur en mängd genom ändras över tid under inflytande av naturligt urval, mutationer, rekombination och genetisk drift. Fokus ligger på en fas icke-egentlig linkagejämvikt (Quasi Linkage Equilibrium, QLE) med härledningar av Neher och Shraiman. Denna fas finns när rekombination är en snabb process relativt det naturliga urvalet, och förenklar dynamiken avsevärt jämfört med det allmäna fallet. Med användning av resultat som gäller i QLE samt direktkopplingsanalys (Direct Coupling Analysis, DCA) kan man härleda urvalslandskapet i vilket en population befinner sig i, särsklit epistaskoefficienter. Med användning av dessa ideer undersöker vi här i detalj ett samband mellan populationsstorlek, rekombantionshastighet och epistasspridning som beskriver var QLE slutar gälla, från ett DCA- inferens-perspektiv. Vi finner att det inte finns något klart samband mellan den kritiska rekombinationshastigheten och populationsstorleken, men som väntat ett linjärt förhållande mellan epistasvariationen och den kritiska rekombinationshastighete.

Se desarrolla un modelo dinámico a tiempo contínuo que permite el comercio de múltiples mercados financieros interconectados, organizados como limit order markets, en el cual agentes endógenamente toman decisiones óptimas para maximizar el valor esperado de sus ganacias. Los agentes toman sus decisiones considerando incentivos propios, condiciones de mercado, potenciales decisiones de negociación futuras y diferentes estrategias adoptadas por otros agentes. Se concentra el estudio al análisis de divulgación de profundidad y la fragmentación en el contexto de múltiples mercados. Se prueban tres escenarios principales: (i) un único mercado Transparente, (ii) un único mercado Opaco y (iii) un mercado múltiple interconectado entre una bolsa Transparente y una Opaca que comercian el mismo activo. Los resultados principales indican que, en el contexto de un único mercado, la divulgación de profundidad genera una competencia que incrementa el suministro de liquidez y, en consecuencia, reduce el spread, el ruido de mercado e incrementa la profundidad en los precios más competitivos y en el volumen total del libro. Los agentes con una valoración privada absoluta positiva del activo incrementan sus ganancias a costa de los agentes sin valoración privada, al disminuir sus costos de espera y aumentar sus ganancias por transacción. Estos beneficios son amplificados en el contexto de múltiples mercados debido a las restricciones para transar que generan una competencia más agresiva. Se encuentra que hay un flujo de liquidez hacia la componente Transparente debido a los agentes multi mercados proveedores de liquidez, lo cual reduce el spread e incrementa las profundidades. Para mantenerse atractivos, los agentes en la Bolsa Opaca también entran en competencia, lo cual reduce el spread y ruido de mercado en esta bolsa de similar manera. Los agentes multi mercados demandantes de liquidez son los que presentan el mejor rendimiento de todos, principalmente al reducir significativamente los tiempos de sus ejecuciones.
We develop a dynamic model in continuous time to simulate multi markets trading. Traders make endogenously sequential optimal decision to maximize their expected payoffs across different limit order markets, taking into account intrinsic incentives, markets conditions, potential future trading decisions and different strategies adopted by other agents. We focus our study in depth disclosure and lit fragmentation, and test three main scenarios: (i) a single Lit Market, (ii) a single Opaque Market and (iii) Multi Markets interconnected with both Lit and Opaque venues trading a single common asset. Our main results indicate that, in a single market environment, depth disclosure generates a competition that increments liquidity supply and as a consequence, reduces spread, microstructure noise and increases depth at best quotes and total depth of the book. Agents with a positive absolute private valuation of the asset increases their benefits at the expense of agents without a private valuation, by decreasing their waiting costs and increasing their money transfer. These benefits are amplified in a multi market environment due to trading restrictions that generates more aggressive competition. We find a liquidity flow to the Lit venue given by multi market liquidity suppliers, that reduces the spread and increases depths. To stay in competence agents in the Opaque Venue enter the competition as well, reducing spread and microstructure noise in that exchange too. Multi market liquidity demanders with the possibility to trade in both venues have the best performance of all agents, due to a significant reduction in their execution time.

O dimensionamento de estrutura de contenção flexíveis atirantadas geralmente representa um desafio para os engenheiros civis, devido a complexidade do tema e as severas consequências que uma eventual ruptura pode causar. Visando melhorar a compreensão do comportamento dessas estruturas, bem como o seu dimensionamento, o presente trabalho descreve os mecanismos que governam o comportamento dessas contenções, como por exemplo: o arqueamento das tensões; a redistribuição das tensões; concentração de tensões nas ancoragens, etc. Embora estes mecanismos tenha uma forte influência sobre o comportamento de cortinas atirantadas, eles geralmente não são considerados em projetos, já que na prática brasileira, os dimensionamentos dessas contenções são realizados predominante-mente a partir de métodos de cálculo simples, como por exemplo o cálculo por equilíbrio limite, que não leva em conta esses efeitos. Portanto, no presente trabalho são discutidas as limitações dessa abordagem, e em contrapartida são apresentadas, através de um estudo de caso, os benefícios da aplicação do método dos elementos finitos em análises de escavações.
The design of anchored retaining wall usually represents a challenge for civil engineers, due to the complexity of the issue and the severe consequences that a possible rupture can cause. In order to improve understanding of the behavior of these structures, as well as its design, the present work describes the mechanisms that govern the behavior of these structures, for example: the arching of the stress, the redistribution of stress, concentration of stresses in the anchorages, etc. Although these mechanisms have a strong influence on behavior of the anchored retaining wall, they are usually not considered in design, because the Brazilian practice, the projects of these structures are made predominantly from simple calculation methods, for example by calculating the equilibrium limit, that does not account for these effects. Therefore, in the present work the limitations of this approach are discussed, and on the other hand are presented, via a case study, the benefits of the finite element method applied to the excavation analysis.

This paper studies the Great Hall of Trajan's Markets in Rome using equilibrium analysis to determine the limits of stability of its main vault under gravity loading. In particular, the capacities of three structural components were analyzed individually and as one system to compare the difference in stability limits. Recent studies of the hall that used Finite Element Methods predicted high tensile stresses in the structure, suggesting that there was a danger of further damage and potential collapse under seismic loads. This led to the installation of steel reinforcement systems within the vault and supporting structure. The objective of this thesis is to show that equilibrium methods are able to give an accurate sense of the viable states of the structure, and generally, that equilibrium methods are a more appropriate technique for analyzing highly indeterminate historic masonry structures. The results show that the range of horizontal thrust values increases dramatically when the supporting structures (lateral arch and buttress) are included. Hence, the supporting structures are critical to the stability of the vault under static loading. Furthermore, sliding between the travertine blocks is not a consideration under static loading of the vault.

Texto completoThis research thesis was developed with the purpose of contributing to the study of the construction of access ramps to building’s excavations by unsupported provisional slopes analysis to guarantee the global stability factor in the Lima Conglomerate. The access ramps are provisional structures whose construction is not governed by norms or established indications, in addition it does not include a study, it is based on the experience of the person responsible for the work. The city of Lima is located on a gravelly ground which helps to optimize the degree of inclination of the provisional slopes. The scope of this work is to model an access ramp in the typical conglomerate of Lima applying the existing machinery overloads and perform an analysis of global stability against static and pseudodynamic conditions. The minimum resistance parameters characteristic of the Lima gravel, the cohesion parameter and friction angle will be estimated using the retro-analysis technique based on the Limit Equilibrium method in Slide. From this, the slopes will be optimized, evaluating the different degrees of inclination, and the deformations produced in the slopes will be estimated through the Plaxis program, based on Finite Elements. Finally, the conclusions obtained from this research thesis are presented, as well as providing recommendations for future research related to this topic.

Texto completoFöreliggande examensarbete behandlar skillnaden mellan två beräkningsprogram när det kommer till släntstabilitet, nämligen Geoslope SLOPE/W och Novapoint GeoSuite Stability. Syftet med examensarbetet är att jämföra de båda beräkningsprogrammen avseende vid undersökning av släntstabilitet, samt de två programmens hantering av data. De två beräkningsprogrammen använder sig av liknande Limit equilibrium-metoder för att beräkna säkerhetsfaktor samt glidytor för slänter. Man kan förvänta sig att resultatet bör vara varandra likt då dels att de både beräkningsprogrammen använder sig av liknande Limit equilibrium-metoder, men också då stora skillnader i både säkerhetsfaktor och kritisk glidyta ger opålitligt resultat. Examensarbetet kommer även ta upp de faktorer som kan ligga bakom att ett eventuellt brott ska ske i en slänt, då det ger ökad förståelse för de analyser som gjorts. Arbetet utfördes genom att slänter med identiska geometriska relationer samt identiska materialegenskaper modellerades i de båda beräkningsprogrammen, en säkerhetsfaktor samt kritisk glidyta för slänterna togs fram för båda programmen och jämfördes sedan med varandra.

Texto completoAnalysis of slope stability in mining is one of the most important activities of the process of obtaining a mineral resources. Ensuring the excavation stability and the safety of the project are vital to the extraction process. The choice of the form of analysis (2D, quasi-threedimensional or 3D) or of the method (limit equilibrium or numerical analysis) more suitable for this type of study is of paramount importance since, the responsible engineer often end up basing the analysis on familiarity with a particular methodology or on the availability of a particular program, to the detriment of technical factors and relevance to the study. Thus, in order to fill this existing gap and facilitate the selection of the best methodology to be used, the present study brings together the main known methods, their advantages and disadvantages and, therefore, presents a methodology for such a choice to be based on relevant technical parameters. The proposed methodology is somewhat restrictive in the choice of procedures that will be considered, since it has been tried to use methods that have proven applicability, that have considerable advantages over other methods and that are rigorous, satisfying all equilibrium conditions (forces and moments). In order to corroborate the proposed methodology, four different practical situations were presented, demonstrating the applicability of the methodology.

Texto completoA research focus on retro analysis on mine slopes is becoming increasingly important. The dimensions of current mining caves aim to always obtain the best cost benefit ratio as well as the highest safety level. This demands that the work sometimes is done within these limits. In this paper the study of retro analysis is made up of a mixed slope composed of alluvial and rocks, in a coal mine in Arroio dos Ratos, RS. The goal was to carry out a retro analysis study using two analysis methods: The Finite Element Method (FEM) and Limit Equilibrium analysis (LE). The methodology adopted was split into three phases: a field stage for the sample collection and slopes geometric , a laboratory stage to classify all the material and a final computacional stage were model and numerical simulations were created by way of commercial software, Slide and RS2, by RocScience. The results showed that the portion of the slope composed of alluvium had six layers interspersed with well graded sands and high plasticity clays. The simulations observed a difference between the FEM and LE due to the number of layers present in the slope and the interaction among them. Four different scenarios were created in order to observe the behavior of the slope. The FEM presents surface failure similar to one found in the field. The LE always takes into consideration the overall critical surface which is not observed in the field, it also show high security factor levels above one 1.3 that does not reflect a real situation since the slope is collapsed. In spike of the differences, both methods are reliable but they must be used according to the existing problems. For simpler situations with homogeneous slopes LE is recommended while move complex problems and interactions among lawyers calls for FEM.

Devido às consequências negativas associadas à ruptura e deslizamentos de taludes, a análise de estabilidade desses assume uma parte primordial na área da engenharia geotécnica. A maioria dessas análises é realizada de maneira determinística, não incorporando as incertezas inerentes ao sistema. A constatação dessas incertezas em projetos de taludes associa-se a previsão de uma probabilidade de falha no desempenho de taludes quanto à segurança. Nesse contexto, esta dissertação busca avaliar a segurança de taludes através de uma abordagem probabilística, simulando taludes com geometrias e solos variados, verificando ainda a influência da elevação da posição do nível d´água. Para essa finalidade foram realizadas análises probabilísticas utilizando First Order Reliability Method (FORM) com base nos métodos de Equilíbrio Limite, através dos programas computacionais acadêmicos RASS (análises determinísticas) e RELgen (análises probabilísticas). Com base nos resultados, verificou-se que as superfícies críticas obtidas pelos métodos determinísticos podem não coincidir com as superfícies que apresentam a maior probabilidade de falha. Isto é verificado ainda na análise de inclinação da superfície do talude, em que inclinações apresentando fatores de segurança admissíveis, apresentaram probabilidades de falha não aceitáveis. Estas divergências são atribuídas às incertezas inerentes ao sistema. Sendo assim, as análises de estabilidade de talude baseadas apenas nos resultados de análises determinísticas não apresentam todas as variáveis presentes no contexto do projeto. Por fim, através dos resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa é possível inferir que a adoção da análise probabilística em projeto de taludes auxilia de uma forma consistente a avaliação da segurança dos taludes, contribuindo de maneira satisfatória na prática de projetos de engenharia geotécnica.
Due to the negative consequences associated with slope rupture and landslides, the stability analysis of these slopes plays an important role in geotechnical engineering. Most of these analyzes are carried out in a deterministic manner, not incorporating the uncertainties inherent to the system. The observation of these uncertainties in slope projects is associated with the forecast of a probability of failure in slope performance in terms of safety. In this context, this paper present research seeks to evaluate slope safety in a probabilistic manner, simulating slopes with varied geometries and soils, also verifying the influence of elevation of the water level position. For this purpose, were performed probabilistic analyzes using First Order Reliability Method (FORM), based on the Limit Equilibrium methods, RASS (deterministic analysis) and RELgen (probabilistic analyzes). Based on the results, it was found that the critical surfaces obtained by the deterministic methods may not coincide with the highest most probability surfaces to fail. This is still verified in surface slope analysis, where inclinations with acceptable safety factors presented probabilities of failure unacceptable. These divergences are attributed to the uncertainties inherent in the system. Therefore, slope stability analyzes based only on the results of deterministic analyzes do not present all the variables present in the project context. Finally, through the results obtained in this research it is possible to infer that the adoption of probabilistic analysis in slope design assists in a consistent way the assessment of slope safety, contributing in a satisfactory way in the practice of geotechnical engineering projects.

Texto completoThe Peruvian coast has high seismic activity, making essential the implementation of stability analyzes that consider the seismic events. With the development of new numerical tools, dynamic analysis is becoming increasingly important and usual in the design phase is not justified over the execution of static analysis in places as vulnerable to earthquakes. This thesis aims to conduct the analysis of the stability of the cliffs of Lima, Peru, considering for different slopes, in a region highly affected by earthquakes. The analyzes were performed by equilibrium methods limit finite elements and pseudo-static, seeking a comparison between the different methods. The dissertation presents a complete description of the slopes in the study, an evaluation of the seismic condition of the region and finally the stability of Lima cliffs, making use of computer programs Slide (limit equilibrium method) and Plaxis (finite element method). The results showed that all three methods provided adopted gave safety factors, especially when considering less laminated profiles. For homogeneous profiles, obtained differences were of the order of 1.0 at 0.5%. The analysis highlighted the importance of considering the dynamic condition, and were quite sensitive to seismic load values adopted.

Texto completoThe object of research of this thesis is the derivation of heat equation from the underlying microscopic dynamics of the system. Two main models have been studied: a microscopic system described by the discrete Schrödinger equation and an anharmonic chain of oscillators in presence of a gradient of temperature. The first model considered is the one-dimensional discrete linear Schrödinger (DLS) equation perturbed by a conservative stochastic dynamics, that changes the phase of each particles, conserving the total norm (or number of particles). The resulting total dynamics is a degenerate hypoelliptic diffusion with a smooth stationary state. It has been shown that the system has a hydrodynamical limit given by the solution of the heat equation. When it is coupled at the boundaries to two Langevin thermostats at two different chemical potentials, it has been proven that the stationary state, in the limit to infinity, satisfies the Fourier’s law. The second model considered is a chain of anharmonic oscillators immersed in a heat bath with a temperature gradient and a time varying tension applied to one end of the chain while the other side is fixed to a point. We prove that under diffusive space-time rescaling the volume strain distribution of the chain evolves following a non-linear diffusive equation. The stationary states of the dynamics are of non-equilibrium and have a positive entropy production, so the classical relative entropy methods cannot be used. We develop new estimates based on entropic hypocoercivity, that allows to control the distribution of the positions configurations of the chain. The macroscopic limit can be used to model isothermal thermodynamic transformations between non-equilibrium stationary states.

The basic input parameters, namely cohesion and friction angle determined at soil mechanics laboratory were compared to the parameters obtained from back analysis of a large scale slope failure. Input parameters for the analysis are determined by this way. After determining the input parameters, slope stability analyses were carried out both for the permanent and temporary slopes in AfSin-Elbistan lignite basin, Ç

For limit equilibrium analysis, Rocscience SLIDE software, for finite difference analysis in 3-D, Itasca FLAC3D was used. In the limit equilibrium analyses both circular and composite failures were considered. Shear strength reduction method is used for the finite difference method. The results between limit equilibrium and 3-D finite difference methods were compared. When the failure surfaces obtained from the finite difference analyses were imposed to limit equilibrium analysis, computations are resulted in lower factor of safety values for limit equilibrium analysis.

Texto completoCollective dynamics can be observed among many animal species, and have given rise in the last decades to an active and interdisciplinary field of study. Such behaviors are usually modeled by active matter, in which each individual is self-driven and tends to align its velocity with that of its neighbors.In a classical model introduced by Vicsek & al., as well as in numerous related active matter models, a phase transition between chaotic behavior at high temperature and global order at low temperature can be observed. Even though ample evidence of these phase transitions has been obtained for collective dynamics, from a mathematical standpoint, such active systems are not fully understood yet. Some progress has been achieved in the recent years under an assumption of mean-field interactions, however to this day, few rigorous results have been obtained for models involving purely local interactions.In this manuscript, we describe a lattice active particle system interacting locally to align their velocities. This thesis aims at rigorously obtaining, using the formalism developed for hydrodynamic limits of lattice gases, the scaling limit of this out-of-equilibrium system, for which numerous technical and theoretical difficulties arise

Texto completoO perfeito entendimento de deslizamentos de terra tem sido objeto de grande interesse na engenharia geotécnica há muitos anos. Encostas naturais representam um desafio constante para os engenheiros, mais do que os taludes artificiais. Não é incomum que os escorregamentos causam perdas de vidas humanas e também danos materiais. As informações obtidas a partir de retro-análise de casos históricos, têm servido como uma ferramenta valiosa para a compreensão da estabilidade de taludes. Vale a pena notar que o primeiro método de cálculo de estabilidade de taludes, usando divisão de fatia, foi desenvolvido após um acidente na Noruega. Métodos de estabilidade por Equilíbrio Limite, desenvolvidos no século passado são atualmente utilizados na prática da engenharia. Apesar de suas deficiências, eles provaram ser confiáveis na determinação do Fator de Segurança. A geometria 2D e a abordagem completa da condição saturada são provavelmente as questões mais relevantes dos métodos atuais. A condição do solo não saturado está geralmente presente em taludes naturais e os métodos ignoram a influência da sucção do solo sobre a estabilidade do talude. O desenvolvimento de computadores no meio do século passado, tornaram os cálculos Equilíbrio Limite fáceis de serem executados. Por outro lado, eles não podem explicar a natureza do problema ou prever o comportamento do solo antes da ruptura. A década de 1960 marcou o início do desenvolvimento de programas de computador baseados em métodos numéricos que, entre outros, destaca-se, em geotecnia, a aplicação dos métodos de Elementos Finitos (FEM). Este método é ideal para muitos fins, uma vez que permite a simulação da sequência de construção e também a incorporação de diferentes modelos constitutivos. Este trabalho mostra a influência da sucção sobre a estabilidade de encostas naturais. Uma retroanálise de um escorregamento no Morro dos Cabritos, no Rio de Janeiro, foi feita através de um programa de análise de tensão (Plaxis 2D). Os resultados foram comparados com o FS obtido por programa de Equilíbrio Limite (Slide v5). O efeito de sucção do solo foi incorporada nas análises, através de sua influência sobre os parâmetros de resistência do solo e por diferentes possibilidades de infiltração de água na encosta. Este caso histórico foi estudado anteriormente por Gerscovich (1994), que na época, fez analise de fluxo e estabilidade utilizando um abordagem de Equilíbrio Limite 3D. Os resultados mostraram boa concordância entre a análise de Elementos Finitos e a simulação de Equilíbrio Limite, sem a presença de nível de água. Os resultados confirmaram que foi necessário haver pressões positivas para explicar a ruptura do talude.

Texto completoThe aim of this thesis is to prove that for a topologically transitive Markov subshift with countable alphabet and a summable potential ƒ with finite topological pressure Gurevic and bounded variation (ƒ) < ∞, there exists an equilibrium state µtƒ tf for each t > 1 and the family of equilibrium states (µtƒ)t>1 associated to each potential tf has an accumulation point at t > ∞. Moreover if we also assume that ƒ is a Markov potential we prove that the equilibrium states family (µtƒ)t>1 converges when t > ∞. Finally we prove the continuity at ∞ of the entropy with respect to the parameter t. These results do not depend on assuming the existence of Gibbs measures.

Texto completoIn recent years, the proliferation of hidden liquidity in financial markets has increased dramatically and shifted to the center regulatory debates and market micro-structure panels. Yet investors, scientists and policy makers are at odds about its implications and the adequate regulatory responses. This thesis addresses these issues in three separate chapters on both empirical and theoretical grounds. Chapter 1 provides an empirical investigation of the determinants and impact of hidden order submissions. We report that the cross-sectional variation of hidden liquidity is well explained by observable market characteristics. Second, our results suggest that the hidden orders generate substantial price reactions. Our results suggests that hidden liquidity increases market volatility and trading frictions. Chapter 2 proposes a structural trading model. We investigate trader’s optimal trading strategies with respect to order-exposure in limit order book markets. The optimal exposure size marks a trade-off between costs and benefits of exposure. Our model provides explicit characterizations of the optimal exposure size for various market specifications. Model parameters and exposure strategies are estimated through high-frequency order book data. Our results suggest that hidden orders can substantially enhance trade performance. Chapter 3 develops a dynamic equilibrium model with a public primary market and an off-exchange trading mechanism. Our theory correctly predicts the key findings of chapter one and two. For instance, we show that large hidden orders cause excess returns and increase market volatility and correctly predict the role of the observable market characteristics in the origination of hidden liquidity.

Texto completoThe stability of open-cast operations (mines or quarries), excavated in rock mass depends on their geometry, the geometrical characteristics of the rock mass fractures (orientation and spacing) and the mechanical characteristics of the rock mass and the discontinuities. The assessment of the rock instability risk depends on the quantity and quality of the available information on the rock mass and the analysis methods used for the evaluation of the mechanical behavior of the rock block collection. Different sites of natural rock slopes, of road cuts, and of open-cast mines and quarries, described in the present document, show that the known information can vary a lot from one site to the other. The steps of data gathering and analysis, then the modelling step used to analyze the stability of the rock slope, lead to uncertainties. The present work deals in particular with the influence of the geometrical uncertainties, and the different clustering methods, to define families of fractures, are examined. The combination of works suggested by several authors leads to a new method called PSMY. This method, together with the spectral method, was coded in the Mathematica platform, and the obtained results are compared with "hand-made" clusters, done with the DIPS software. The clustering methods are presented according to the ratio of classified orientations. The orientation and spacing of fracture families are fitted by statistical law. The statistical parameters are compared according to the clustering method used. These parameters have an influence on the construction of the rock mass geometrical model, called DFN (Discrete Fracture Network). The influence of the clusters on the stability analysis is studied from the stochastic models based on the limit equilibrium analysis, in the SWEDGE and RESOBLOK software. These programs do not take into account the same uncertainties, and as a result, they give different stability indicators. A sensitivity analysis of these indicators (number of unstable blocks, average volume of unstable blocks, and total volume of unstable blocks) versus the clustering methods used, and the orientation of the slopes, is carried out. A variance analysis allows an evaluation of the influence of these factors. The assessment of the global stability condition of the rock mass, depending on the cohesion and the friction angle, is proposed. The influence of the modeling method is analyzed by comparing 3D calculations using the limit equilibrium calculations, and 2D and 3D models using discrete rigid and deformable blocks. A coupling between RESOBLOK (limit equilibrium) and LMGC90 (discrete elements) allows the comparison of results on the same original geometry. For the case of Ax-les-Thermes road-cut, and for various unstable geometries, the influence of the model parameters is tested. Several cases are compared. The 3D simulation of an excavation, at different steps, is performed, and the mobilization index is studied, in order to compare several types of contacts, within the LMGC model, in relation to the possible sliding of blocks, at those different steps

Análises de estabilidade de taludes são predominantemente realizadas em duas-dimensões (2D) por métodos de equilíbrio limite. Os métodos convencionais de equilíbrio limite são alvos de muitas críticas pelo o uso do equilíbrio estático, pressuposições de forças na análise e por possuir o mesmo fator de segurança ao longo de toda a superfície de deslizamento. Para superar essas deficiências, o método proposto por Kulhawy (1969) incorpora o comportamento tensão-deformação do solo com tensões oriundas do Método de Elementos Finitos (FEM) e tem a mesma estrutura dos métodos de equilíbrio dos métodos de equilíbrio de equilíbrio limite clássicos. É também chamado de método aperfeiçoado. Devido à existência de taludes com geometrias complexas, a abordagem tridimensional (3D) é a única capaz de incorporar todos os aspectos geométricos do problema. Esta dissertação é dividida em dois artigos com o tema de estabilidade de taludes pelo o método de Kulhawy em abordagens 2D e 3D. O objetivo primário dessa dissertação é avaliar os principais fatores que influenciam a estabilidade de taludes. O primeiro artigo propôs geometrias variando de convexo a côncavo em um conjunto de propriedades típicas de solos. Duas trajetórias de geração de tensões in- situ foram utilizadas, i.e., construção e escavação. O método GLE foi calculado para fins de comparação. A superfície de deslizamento é muito dependente do histórico de tensão e da forma da face do talude. A diferença relativa no estado de tensões inicial típico alcançou 15% nas análises 2D e 34% nas análises 3D. A análise de sensibilidade do efeito do Poisson no fator de segurança mostrou-se muito relevante. A relação entre os fatores de segurança 2D e 3D são quase lineares independente do estado de tensões, das propriedades de resistência, formato da face do talude, na ordem de 30 a 40%. O segundo artigo propõe análises em barragens construídas em vales estreitos. Três abordagens de análises foram utilizadas: redução de resistência ao cisalhamento (SSR), métodos de Kulhawy e GLE. Condições típicas de fundações são muito variáveis como topografia e deformabilidade. A análise de sensibilidade do módulo de fundação de Young no fator de segurança foi insignificante em 2D e relevantes em 3D. A relação entre o comprimento do aterro (W) e a altura () é uma variável representativa do grau de estreitamento da barragem e na estabilidade de taludes. A análise de deformações planas tende a altas relações W/H e o oposto mostra elevados efeitos 3D. A inclinação da ombreira mostrou-se relevante no fator de segurança apenas em aterros em vales estreitos. Fundações mais rígidas são mais beneficias para o fator de segurança devido à produção de altos efeitos de arqueamento neste cenário. O método de Kulhawy provou-se ser vantajoso pela a incorporação do comportamento mecânico do solo, o uso de tensões mais realísticas nas análises e avaliação da estabilidade local na superfície de deslizamento. Isso aumenta a quantidade de informações úteis e confiáveis para o profissional de engenharia no projeto de taludes. Todas as análises foram realizadas usando o software SoilVision Systems, Saskatchewan, Canadá. Os módulos utilizados foram o SVLOPE, SVSOLID e o SVFLUX (SoilVision Systems Ltd., 2018). A análise de tensão para a simulação de trajetórias de escavação e construção utilizou do solucionador de Equações Diferenciais Parcias (PDE) o FlexPDE 6 (PDE Solutions Inc., 2014).
Slope stability analyses are predominantly performed using the two-dimensional (2D) conventional limit equilibrium methods. Conventional limit equilibrium methods are targets of many criticisms for using static equilibrium, assumptions of forces in the analysis and the same factor of safety along the slip surface. In order to overcome these shortcomings, the method proposed by Kulhawy (1969) incorporates the stress-strain behavior of the soil with stresses from the Finite Element Method (FEM) with the same structure as limit equilibrium methods. It is also called enhanced method. Due to the existence of slopes with complex geometries, the three-dimensional (3D) approach is only able to incorporate all the geometric aspects of the problem. This thesis is divided into two papers with the subject of slope stability analyses by the Kulhawy’s method in 2D and 3D approaches. The primary objective of this thesis is to evaluate major factors that influence slope stability. The first paper proposed geometries ranging from convex to concave in a set of soil properties. Two stress paths were considered, i.e., construction and excavation. The GLE method was computed for comparison purposes. The slip surface is very dependent on the stress history and the shape of slope face. The relative difference in typical initial stress state reached 15% in 2D analyses and 34% in 3D analyses. Sensitivity analysis of effect of Poisson’s ratio on factor of safety was very relevant. The relationship between 2D and 3D factors of safety are nearly linear independent of stress state on order of 30 to 40%. The second paper propose analyses on embankment dams built in narrow valleys. Three approaches of slope stability were used: shear strength reduction (SSR), Kulhawy’s and GLE methods. The typical conditions of foundation sites are very variable as topography and deformability. Sensitivity analysis of Young’s modulus of foundation on factor of safety was insignificant in 2D and relevant in 3D analyses. The ratio between embankment length (W) and height (H) was very important on slope stability. The plane strain analysis tends to high W/H ratio and the opposite shows high 3D effects. The inclination of abutment showed to be relevant on factor of safety only in embankments in narrow valleys. Stiffer foundations are beneficial to the factor of safety due producing high arching effects in this scenario. The Kulhawy’s method proved to be advantageous by the incorporation of mechanical behavior of soil, more realistic stress and local stability evaluation on slip surface. It increases the amount of useful and reliable information to the engineering professional in design of slopes. All analyses were performed using SoilVision Systems suite software, Saskatchewan, Canada. The modules used were SVSLOPE, SVSOLID and SVFLUX (SoilVision Systems Ltd., 2018). The stress analysis for the simulation of excavation and construction trajectories used partial differential equation (PDE) solver, FlexPDE 6 (PDE Solutions Inc., 2014).

Texto completoModelos de equilíbrio geral são largamente usados na academia e em instituições internacionais. Aqui, questões relacionadas com reformas estruturais, o limite inferior das taxas de juro e sua relação com opções de política são analisadas com um modelo de larga escala. Os principais resultados são: reformas estruturais unilaterais são benéficas e coordenação nacional tem vantagens; com as taxas de juro no limite inferior, políticas orçamentais e estruturais podem aliviar uma recessão e reduzir o tempo em que esse limite é activo. Mas a eficácia depende do instrumento orçamental e das características das reformas. Seguidamente, modelos estimados de media-escala são usados para avaliar a importância de choques antecipados nos EUA. Primeiro, avalia-se o papel destes choques na dinâmica do mercado habitacional e conclui-se que são importantes nas flutuações deste mercado e em particular nos ciclos de boom-bust. Expectativas de inquéritos sao usadas como validação externa do modelo. Depois, o papel de choques antecipados de politica monetária e analisado num modelo de ciclo económico. Conclui-se que melhoram a desempenho do modelo sem causar problemas de identificação; explicam uma percentagem maior das flutuações das variáveis observadas que choques não antecipados de politica monetária; e ajudam a melhor replicar covariâncias de algumas variáveis.
General equilibrium models are widely used in academia and policy institutions. Here, issues related to structural reforms, the zero lower bound and its interaction with policy options are analysed with a large-scale calibrated model of the euro area. The main find- ings are: unilateral structural reforms are beneficial and cross-country coordination has advantages; at the zero bound, fiscal and structural policies can alleviate a recession and reduce the time spent at the bound but their effectiveness depends on the fiscal instrument and the design of the reforms. Then, medium-scale estimated models are used to assess the importance of news shocks in the US. First, the role of news in housing market dynamics is investigated. Results show that news shocks are important for housing market fiuctua- tions, and in particular boom-busts cycles. Survey-based expectations are used as external validation of the model. Then, the role of monetary policy news shocks is analysed in a business cycle model. Results show they improve the performance of the model without leading to identification problems; they account for a larger fraction of the fiuctuations in observables than the unanticipated monetary policy shock; and they help to achieve a better matching of the covariances of some observables.

This work consists on a survey of some papers from the literature of general equilibrium with default costs. We focus on the study of Kehoe and Levine (1993) and Alvarez and Jermann (2000) models. We also describe some adaptations of Al- varez and Jermann’s model, such as the models developed by Hellwig and Lorenzoni (2009) and Azariadis and Kaas (2008), and we compare them with Huggett’s (1993) model, where the market is exogenously incomplete. Finally, we point out one flaw present in Krueger and Perry’s (2010) algorithm to compute stationary equilibria from economies such as Alvarez and Jermann.

Texto completoDirect numerical simulations (DNS) of both adiabatic and isothermal (heated and cooled) supersonic boundary layers are performed. Two different transition scenarios, namely the Oblique-type breakdown and the By-pass transition are presented in detail. For the oblique-type transition scenario, the results show that the control modes with four to five times the fundamental wavenumber are beneficial for controlling the transition. In the first region, after the control-mode forcing, the beneficial mean-flow distortion (MFD) generated by inducing the control mode is solely responsible for hampering the growth of the fundamental-mode. Globally, the MFD and the three-dimensional part of the control contribute equally towards controlling the oblique breakdown. Effects of physical parameters like wall-temperature, perturbation intensity and baseflow are investigated for the By-pass transition. The results regarding the by-pass scenario reveal that increasing the perturbation intensity moves the transition onset upstream and also increases the length of the transition region. Additionally, below 1% perturbation levels, wall-cooling stabilizes the flow while inverse happens at higher values. The existence of the thermo-mechanical non-equilibrium advances the onset of transition for the heated cases while the cooled wall behaves in the opposite sense. The analyses of the turbulent boundary layer show that the thermal factors influence the topology and inclination of the vortical structures. Moreover, regarding the heat flux, different transfer process is dominant in the near-wall region for the cooled wall

Texto completoAn agent is an entity that decides an action. By using this abstraction, it is possible to model two children playing rock-paper-scissors, a software computing a shortest path on the internet for packet-routing on congest numerical networks, as well as an automatic combinatorial auction that sells commercial links in order to make google earn billions. The researchers in algorithmic decision theory and algorithmic game theory (mathematicians and computer scientists) like to think that these real-life examples can be modelled by mean of agents in an interaction decision system, no matter how complex is reality. The modern interactive decision systems find their complexity in multiple aspects. Firstly, the preferences of an agent can be complex to model with real numbers when there are multiple conflicting objectives resulting from every decision. Secondly, the interactions between agents are such that the payoff of every individual depends of the actions of all, making difficult the prediction of the resulting action-profile. This thesis aims at pursuing research efforts lead on these two sources of complexity, in order to consider ultimately both aspects in the same model
