Emprego da madeira do gênero pinus em silos verticais modulados.

Abstract

The main aim this work is to demonstrate the technical viability of using Pinus elliottii and taeda timber in construction of modulate vertical silos with square basis through of mortise constructive sistem. These structures are destined at the warehousing of the agricultural products, mostly, in rural zone. However, to the generus mentioned, it’s very important to obtain wooden structural pieces previously classified and preserved against biological attack. To the development of this work, some parameters were adopted, for exemple, capacity of silo storage, method for filling and discharge of the agricultural products. At last, the utilization of Pinus lumber in silos construction, demonstrated its technical viability, will constitute in expressive alternative, taking in account the facility of the constructive process and the inexigengy of sophisticated equipment. Other advantages are considerated, i.e., the implantation and the exploration of these planted forest, will conduct to a accessible final cost.
