Rigid pavements in Brazil have been receiving more attention in recent years, becoming increasingly necessary especially on roads with incense and heavy traffic. Despite its high initial cost, its use can be an economical ...

The Brazilian standard for reinforced concrete structures design, ABNT NBR 6118 (2014), uses a design method based on limit states, where the uncertainties related to the strength of materials and the structural actions ...

The main objective of this study was to analyze how the dimensions of Brazilian articulated vehicles influence on determining the minimum radius of curvature of intersections at level. The following vehicles, specified by ...

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 ...

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 ...

The hydrological modeling is presented as a fundamental instrument for the difficulties encountered in the management of hydrological processes, considering that there is an increasing demand for water and consequently its ...

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 ...
