ANÁLISE RESISTIVA DE DIFERENTES ESTRUTURAS DE PONTES CONFECCIONADAS EM CARBOIDRATOS

Abstract

The present work is the analysis function of bridge structures in noodles prepared didactically with to students of engineering at the University Paulista. The procedure involved the preparation of 70 bridges that have undergone compression and tensile test in the laboratory on the campus of the University itself Vila. It was observed that 90% of the models supported an average load of 12 kgf, and the length of the models which bore the cargo in the linear range was 100 to 110 cm. By analyzing the variation in height of each of the bridges noodle model and its relation to axial load of tensile / compression, it may be noted that the height of the bridges has not had a great influence on the increase of the resistance load. Regarding the average height of bridges, 90% of the models supported an average load of 12 kgf. This finding showed that the action of the traction force on the upper beams of noodles was not so relevant when comparing with the compression that the basis of the models could bear. Key words - traction, bridge and resistivity.
