Resumo: One of the challenges that the construction industry faces is the lack of trust between participants and information sharing processes. Blockchain is a disruptive and emerging technology that can be used to add immutability, trust and transparency to information. This dissertation proposes a platform that aims to mitigate the problem of information sharing in the construction industry using blockchain technology. The platform allows to keep an immutable record of file interactions between construction participants and simulate document signatures that can later be verified. A proof-of-concept was developed using the Ethereum network, which was also used to evaluate the gas price influence in the execution duration of the transaction and its cost. It is concluded that blockchain technology can support information sharing in the construction industry.

Blockchain é uma tecnologia disruptiva e emergente que pode ser usada para adicionar imutabilidade, confiança e transparência à informação. A presente dissertação propõe uma plataforma que pretende mitigar o problema de partilha de informação na indústria da construção utilizando a tecnologia blockchain. A plataforma permite manter um registo imutável das alterações efetuadas em ficheiros partilhados entre os vários intervenientes da obra e simular assinaturas de documentos que possam ser, posteriormente, verificadas. Foi desenvolvida uma prova de conceito utilizando a rede Ethereum sendo, de seguida, utilizada para avaliar a influência do preço unitário do gas na duração de execução da transação e o seu custo. Conclui-se que a tecnologia blockchain pode auxiliar a partilha de informação na indústria da construção.2022-10-30T00:00:00Z2020-10-30T00:00:00Z2020-10-302020-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/20985TID:202552624engMota, Tiago Furtado Piques Martinsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:31:45Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/20985Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:14:17.906726Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
