Estudo de viabilidade técnica do uso de terças de seção Z

Abstract

This research presents an theoretical-conceptual approach about the use of ‘’z” section purlins to construct sheds with larger portico vains. Discuss technologies and materials used presently, and which others may be used on the construction, in order to get a greater distance between portico vains. Introduce the regent norms that must be followed, and how each one has been followed. Argue the obstacles of the usage of certain techniques and materials, and possible solutions for the currently used, based on the study of the literature and software simulation of the structures, using the softwares: CYPECAD Metalicas 3D, Profilform Designer and Visualventos. The study found that Z-profile purling offered various constructive advantages; however, for the shed used as a model, it did not prove advantageous due to its already optimized design and the absence of any requirement for larger spans between portico vains.
