Aspectos construtivos da estação científica Criosfera 1, construída na Antártica

Abstract

The Antarctic continent highlights its-self not only for being a holder of incalculable natural resources, but also as a great laboratory common to the world. In mind of this characteristics, countries have interests in maintain presence on the continent and Brazil is one of these countries and still has a leading role. That’s why this final paper seeks bring up several pertinent questions focused for civil engineering when planning edification (scientific research modules) on Antarctic land. Doing bibliographic researches around pertinent themes to active this goal, looking for material on achievements already achieved and personal reports of one integral member of Criosfera1 expedition the final paper managed to gather some more relevant standards and point a wide panorama of the conditions that the Antarctic continent imposes for this construction. Concluding that in order to embark on such a project, one must be willing to work in unique conditions. Dealing with a multidisciplinary team, extreme and crucial logistical issues, unique transport conditions, impeccable planning so that unforeseen events do not occur in the end and a lot of courage are basic prerequisites required.
