Expansão da implementação de um software para o dimensionamento de peças estruturais de madeira: flexão

Abstract

Wood is a versatile material that is available in renewable nature and has been used in construction for centuries and is notable for its high strength, ease of handling and low energy consumption in its processing. The planted forest sector in Brazil grows significantly every year, and the activity that most demands the cultivation of planted trees is civil construction. Wood as a structural material has qualities compatible with concrete and steel and contributes to the environment, as it is sustainable and has the possibility of manufacturing by renewing the raw material. Wood structure projects must follow the normative precepts of ABNT NBR 7190:2022 as a verification and design criterion. Thus, the present work aims to expand a software to design and verify structural pieces of wood subjected to bending stresses, in order to make it available to the academic and professional community of civil construction that wishes to use wood as a structural element.
