Influência do dimensionamento da alvenaria estrutural a flexocompressão no estádio III.

Abstract

Structural masonry is an efficient construction system that has been increasingly utilized in the civil construction industry. However, in this construction system, it is crucial to recognize the relevance of horizontal forces, as these forces have a significant impact on the structural response, leading to flexural-compressive design. The objective of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the efficiency and feasibility of structural masonry in axial and bending design at Stage III, using the methodology employed by the old standard and comparing it with the results obtained in the work of Vieira (2022), who utilized the ABNT NBR 16868-1:2020 procedure. The analysis revealed that the old standard's method at Trabalho de Conclusão de curso apresentado à Unidade Acadêmica de Ciências e Tecnologia Ambiental da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande como parte dos requisitos necessários para obtenção do título de Engenheiro Civil. Stage III provides a significantly larger safety margin compared to the other cases, especially in the Stage III of the new standard, where there is a greater utilization of steel yield strength, resulting in greater cost savings in construction.
