The proposal of this research includes the incorporation of residues in concretes and the study of the durability in these concretes with respect to the alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR), to the sulfate attack (SA) and to ...

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, ...

In this paper, a free analysis program is presented for the verification of ultimate and serviceability limit states of reinforced or prestressed concrete sections with polygonal shape submitted to axial forces and biaxial ...

The lightweight concrete for structural purposes is a material that has great potential for application in various construction areas. Its main feature is the reduced density compared to conventional concrete. This ...

The degradation of reinforcing concrete structures reflects in economic and environmental factors. Thus, the desire to minimize it motivates recent research, which aims to add nanomaterials to the cement matrix, seeking ...
