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 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 ...

Although an increasing demand on precast concrete structures exists, there is a lack of tools for the safe design of precast connections in many situations. This research focuses on the study of semi-rigid beam-column ...

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 construction sector stands out as responsible for the emission by third of the total greenhouse gases emitted by mankind. The processes of extraction and manufacture of the raw materials, necessary to obtain the concrete, ...

This work is an unpublished survey on the analysis of the use of a prestressed concrete constructional system with greased corbels in smooth slabs in multi - storey buildings in Brazil,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

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, ...

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 ...

This dissertation deals with the study of the influence of void geometry on the shear capacity of prestressed hollow core slabs. Based on analytical models for the tension shear capacity for uncracked sections, which were ...
