The calculation of flexible or rigid mat foundation is difficult to perform because it is a matter of analyzing a plate resting on the ground, subjected to the external actions and the reactions of the soil. Following a ...

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 ...

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 had the purpose of evaluating the relationship between the physical and mechanical properties of Cambará wood extracted from three distinct sites: Vera, Mucajaí and south of Rondônia. The possibility of ...

The steel-concrete composite columns are characterized by the combination of steel profiles and structural concrete to form a single, tough section. Among the composite columns, the one of the filled type stands out, ...

In service, excessive deformations can lead a geossynthetic soil reinforced structure to failure or undermine it under operational condition. In the design, usually, because of the uncertainly of the long-term efforts, ...

The potential shortage of natural resources, the increased demand for energy and the environmental impacts caused by the use of polluting energy sources have generated constant discussions and uncertainties about the world's ...

This work is an unpublished survey on the analysis of the use of a prestressed concrete constructional system with greased corbels in smooth slabs in multi - storey buildings in Brazil, according to the new norm NBR 6118: ...

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 use of prestressed hollow core slabs has increased significantly and, consequently various productive methods have emerged. These methods do not employ machinery such as extruders or slip former machine. In this research, ...
