Comparação entre valores de ensaios experimentais e calculados da resistência ao embutimento da madeira de Pinus taeda L.

To design connections between timber parts with metal dowels (nails or bolts), two phenomena must be considered: bending of the metal dowel and the embedment strength in the wood. The Brazilian Standard ABNT NBR 7190:1997 proposes the methods used in the laboratory tests to determine the embedment strength with the metal dowell and, in the absence of testing, specifies relations to calculate the embedment strength from the compression strength. The aim of this research was to compare the embedment strength values obtained by experimental tests and calculated by the relationships established by the Brazilian Standard ABNT NBR 7190:1997. By the results of the hypothesis tests, it was possible to conclude that the estimate of the embedment strength parallel to the grain proposed by the Brazilian standard ABNT NBR 7190:1997, establishing equivalence with the strength compression results in the same direction, must be effective to the wood species Pinus taeda L., however, the same was not found in the perpendicular direction with respect to the grain, possibly explained by the alpha(e) values in the equation to calculed fe(90)

Recursos hídricos sob influência de efluentes industriais do polo industrial de Santa Gertrudes

Efluentes industriais e domésticos podem conter agentes químicos e biológicos que, em elevadas concentrações, causam danos aos ecossistemas aquáticos e à saúde ambiental. Um dos efeitos mais nocivos desses agentes poluidores é a sua capacidade de induzir alterações celulares. O uso de testes específicos capazes de detectar o potencial tóxico de substâncias químicas caracteriza-se em uma importante estratégia para avaliação ambiental. Neste contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os potenciais citotóxico, genotóxico e mutagênico de amostras de água de recursos hídricos da cidade de Santa Gertrudes-SP, relacionada com recebimento de efluentes de atividade ceramista, por meio de ensaios realizados com o sistema-teste de Allium cepa. Foram realizados testes com amostras de água coletadas no córrego Itaqui, após despejos de efluente de indústria cerâmica e em duas nascentes, tanto em período chuvoso como de seca. Para a análise dos parâmetros de toxicidade descritos acima, sementes de A. cepa foram expostas à germinação nas amostras das águas coletadas. Quando as radículas atingiram 2 cm de comprimento, os meristemas foram fixados em solução de Carnoy 3:1, para serem utilizadas nas avaliações das possíveis alterações dos índices de germinação e mitóticos, bem como de indução de aberrações nucleares e cromossômicas. Além disso, também foram avaliadas, como outro parâmetro indicativo de mutagenicidade, as frequências de micronúcleos em células F1 de A. cepa. O controle negativo foi realizado em água (osmose reversa) e o controle positivo em metilmetanosulfonato (MMS). O material fixado foi corado pela reação de Feulgen e as lâminas foram preparadas, utilizando as porções meristemática e F1 das raízes de A. cepa. As análises foram realizadas em microscópio de luz, por meio da contagem de alterações nucleares (micronúcleos e brotos) e de aberrações cromossômicas...

Estudo e aplicação da técnica de vibroacustografia em ensaios não destrutivos

A presença de falhas, trincas, furos e fadigas causam perturbações nos modos vibracionais (normais) de uma estrutura, por exemplo, tubos, gasodutos e peças metálicas. Uma vez conhecido o espectro de freqüência de uma estrutura instalada em condições normais (sem falhas), é possível acompanhar através, de ensaios não destrutivos uma alteração no espectro de freqüência que pode estar associado a alguma falha mecânica na estrutura.O presente trabalho busca encontrar um padrão nos sinais de resposta dos materiais analisados pela técnica de Vibroacustografia, antes e depois das deformidades causadas. Tentando viabilizar a técnica para a utilização em Ensaios Não Destrutivos (END). E futuramente, para as amostras biológicas, espera-se estender os conhecimentos obtidos dos ensaios anteriores para detecção e prevenção de possíveis fraturas do tecido ósseo

Proposta de conector para ensaios de ligações CDE submetidas à tração perpendicular as fibras em madeira de pinus

The growth of urban population associated with the shortage of supply of public infrastructure such as hospitals, kindergartens, schools, among others, has reinforced the need to develop alternative methods that simplify the construction processes and allows for a reduction in these costs works. The conventional processes have increasingly been shown ineffective to solve the problem of demand for different types of urban and rural buildings. Given this fact, industrial construction processes can gain space and have proven to be highly interesting to solve the above problems, in particular, considering the cost-effective and time. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the influence of moisture on the strength of metal plate connections connectors (printed plate with teeth). For the sizing of the links between structural lumber using metal connectors with teeth prints; controlled process variables (drying of the wood and the different moisture contents), and finally found results and compare them with different literatures order to obtain a qualitative efficiency of the process. Some specimens had very low expectations, can be explained by the presence of bone marrow, and pre-existing cracks. Thus, the results were discarded for further analysis and more accurate results

Análise da influência da concentração de feixeis de fibras de bambu em ensaios de piso

Bamboo has one of the highest growth rates among plants, however, its lignifications (which confers resistance) takes around a few years and, therefore, certain physical characteristics and mechanical, that depend on this process will only be acquired between the three to six years old. In addition, bamboo also has significant density variations in different parts of the stem, both in the radial direction as the axial. In particular the radial direction, where the density found in the inner and outer (near the bark) of a single stem can range on average from 0.5 to 0.9 g/cm3. Thus, the application of bamboo as a floor, there to examine whether both sides of the bamboo (internal and external), provide resistance properties required for that purpose. In this study sought to characterize and quantify the influence of the concentration of fiber bundles in the inner and outer sides of rules or bamboo strips of bamboo flooring through testing service. Analyses performed were based on ASTM D 2394- 83 for wooden floors and derivatives. This was necessary because of the absence of a specific prohibition of the use and testing of floors made of bamboo and its products. The data were analyzed by ball indentation test shooting, test for resistance to abrasion, indentation test for stress / load treadmill test and by indentation loads applied to small areas - test the jump. The results of the tests were extremely friendly bamboo, even this presents considerable differences between the resistances obtained from assay of the cover of the inner and outer face, being comparable with those of many commonly used to manufacture wood flooring. This comparison was made possible by information from technical trials of several floors made with wood
