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 ...

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, ...

Reinforced concrete buildings are increasingly occupying the vertical planes of cities, with the recession of the Brazil's economy the market had to reinvent itself to maintain profitable enterprises, responsible for a ...

This course conclusion paper aims to analyze two different structural projects by applying the Load Standards for the calculation of building structures (ABNT NBR 6120), which was recently updated from its version from ...

The reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures with concrete fibers reinforced polymers (CFRP) can be used in new structures or rehabilitation of them. The method was consolidated as an attractive alternative for civil ...

Openings in reinforced concrete walls are recurrent solutions, however, when not considered during the design of the element, they can result in numerous cracks and reduce the useful life of the structure. The present ...

The structural design has evolved with the development of resources, especially computational ones, for analyzing the behavior of the structure. As a result, there is a responsibility and a need for civil engineers to use ...

Increasingly, architectural projects have been proposing the use of glass facades in buildings, but their concept does not always remain the same throughout the execution of the works. The objective of this study was to ...
