Wood is a material that shows several favorable characteristics, like its relation between endurance and weight, its sustainability, the materials easiness to handle, the fact that it's a good thermal insulator, among other ...

The growth of the competitiveness of the construction market generated a need to find for alternative construction systems that could combine economy, time and technical quality, and the structural masonry presents itself ...

Bamboo's performance as longitudinal reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures can be successful if safety boundary conditions are considered. The objective of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of replacing ...

Reinforced concrete structures are widely used in the construction world. In the past, due to lack of knowledge of the materials used and the difficulty of laboratory tests, many buildings were oversized. Not only is this ...

Usually, the structural analysis of buildings in reinforced concrete is carried out considering the connections between beams and columns as rigid. However, experimental studies demonstrate the occurrence of relative ...

Considering that the structural masonry system has shown a significant presence in the Brazilian civil construction market and that in most cases, the structural masonry building will be supported by transitional beams in ...

This work presents a technical and cost comparison for the results of a structural calculation obtained by the Eberick software and in manual form. The technical analyses took into account the final computation efforts at ...

The primordiality of structural rehabilitation has become increasingly frequent. The usage of concrete did not foresee the appearance of premature degradation in improvements and works of art. Change of usage of the building, ...

The present study aims at the structural analysis of existing slabs where the information about the structure is not known, and it is necessary to determine the load capacity of the structural element. In these cases, a ...
