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 ...

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 ...

Self-compacting concrete has specific characteristics that differ from conventional concrete. Its self- compacting capability, ease of pumping, excellent homogeneity and resistance to segregation are highlighted, being ...

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, ...

The structural behavior of the prestressed steel concrete composite beams was investigated using the Finite Element Method. The present study reports two types of composite beams: steel beams and concrete slab with joint ...

The construction industry is the main generator of waste in the economy. The CW can account for up to 70% of total urban solid waste produced (SINDUSCON, 2015), resulting in a concern for the waste of materials extracted ...

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) must simultaneously exhibit high fluidity, cohesion and absence of segregation. However, the maintenance of these properties in the fresh state requires a greater consumption of binders and ...

In this dissetation exploratory models are used to examine the behavior of semi - rigid pillar - beam connections with shear key. This type of connection is ordinary in Brazil prefabricated concrete structures. Thus, the ...

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 ...

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, ...
