Engenharia de estruturas voltada para o agronegócio : análise e dimensionamento da estrutura de aço de um compost barn

Abstract

Very common in regions that have na economy focused on milk farming production, as is the case of the micro-region of Piumhi-MG/ Serra da Canastra, the compost barn is a shed with a steel structure focused in the animal welfare aiming at practicality and increased productivity of dairy cattle. This work is a resut of out due to the lack of approach and the need to delve deeper into the subject that is so important for Brazilian agribusiness that supplies the national market with milk and its derivatives (cheese, butter, yogurt, etc.) and export to other countries. This work aims to design the steel structure of a compost barn with “I” laminated beams according to NBR 8800:2008, as well as to approach constructive aspects and specific informations to this kind of structure.
