Concreto protendido: produção no Estado de Goiás

Abstract

The protection is technically widespread in the academic environment and applied for years in Brazil, but it does not find quantitative disclosure of its production in the state of Goiás. In this work, you can survey or quantify the production of protected concrete volume in the State of Goiás, with the objective of defining a panorama of its production and its application in comparison with the production of reinforced concrete. To this end, surveys were carried out, using questionnaires, together with some of the largest companies in the field of civil engineering, which are registered in the Goiás Construction Community. A complement to the analysis was carried out, in order to find a justification for the results obtained. This complementation was carried out through structural analysis and the design method, in which, for example, a supported beam was designed as a protected concrete structure and as a reinforced concrete structure, in order to demonstrate how design variables and production cost. The selected results indicate how much concrete production protected in the State of Goiás is still unknown, but there are indications that this production is developed by few professionals in the State of Goiás.
