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 concern about the environmental impacts generated by the construction industry, which traditionally requires large quantities of raw materials and usually generate a large amount of waste, motivated the development of ...

Construction systems require significant amounts of natural resources, however, these are already beginning to present problems regarding the impacts caused by their extraction. The incorporation of agroindustry’s residues, ...

The construction industry in Brazil has great importance both socially and economically, but generates more than 50% of municipal solid waste and consuming large quantities of raw materials, energy and water. Thus the ...

Brazil is the world's largest producer of sugarcane and the leading exporter of its derivatives (sugar, alcohol, energy etc.). One of the main waste generated in the manufacturing process of this sector is the sugarcane ...

This project aim was to evaluate the compressive strength of masonry concrete block from low to high resistances. This topic is motivated by the observation that there are no reliable parameters for designing the compression ...

Even the metal bridges known for overcoming large spans, designed and implemented by large offices, this paper wishes to present concepts that can be applied in practical design of Steel-Concrete composite bridges of short ...

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 ...

This work presents the development of a numerical model of a composite connection connecting a composite beam to a concrete filled steel tube column using a through plate. The software Ansys® and finite elements methods ...

The objective of this work is to present the manufacturing parameters of the solar collectors, subject to modification, resulting in improved performance. A discretization of the components of the solar collector was ...
