The present work carried out a theoretical-experimental study of a transverse reinforcement arrangement for slabs with lattice-reinforced joists. The objective of the research was to investigate both its structural behavior ...

This work aims to document the production process and characteristics of the new Brazilian prestressing steel CP-210 RB, as well as evaluating its use viability and to indicate design guidelines for the application in the ...

Demolition is the process of planned fragmentation of elements of construction that can be total, representing the ruin of the building, or partial, occurred in reforms and structural changes. However, it is considered ...

Population growth and uncontrolled progress contribute to the generation of construction waste (CDW), when inadequately disposed of, cause environmental liabilities and affect the quality of life of society. In order to ...

This research aimed to investigate, with the aid of the Brazilian standard NBR 7190 (1990) Wood Structures Project, of the Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the regrouping bootstrap technique, the influence ...

The particleboard is an engineered product of the wood, made from the gluing of small, deconstructed pieces from the wood processing using a bonding resin. Because it is a material subject to attack by xylophagous organisms, ...

Corrosion of reinforcement is one of the most severe pathological manifestations that can affect reinforced concrete structures, and the main aggressive agents of corrosion are chloride and CO2. Chlorine ions can cause ...

This paper presents an analysis of the development of self-compacting concrete with low consumption of Portland cement, and evaluates some of its properties in fresh and hardened state ( mechanical properties ). The ...

In terms of sustainability and civil construction, wood, a natural, renewable and easily obtainable material, has a good relation between resistance and density, and due to its versatility, it is an excellent alternative ...

Cement consumption at global level increases gradually, so too grows the environmental degradation that the construction generates. In this scenario, the search for rationalization of materials becomes important. Self-compacting ...
