GUERRA-GARCIA, LINA MARCELA et al. EVALUATION OF MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF THREE KINDS OF PANELS FERROCEMENT SANDWICH TYPE FOR RURAL HOUSING CONSTRUCTION. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2013, vol.80, n.181, pp.210-218. ISSN 0012-7353.

Thanks to positive experiences in urban, sandwich panels ferrocement type are presented as an alternative to the demand for fast, low construction cost imposed by the rural housing problem in Latin America. Various proposals in this regard may be previously evaluated through simulation. This study was performed to evaluate the mechanical behavior of three panels of ferrocement sandwich type, to define the building system of rural housing proposal, from a simulation with the application of the finite element method. Based on a preliminary design for rural housing, three alternatives were designed sandwich type ferro-plates, then evaluating their tensile strength and displacement by applying the calculation of Von Mises stress in a simulation by the finite element method, by SolidWorks® software. The three alternatives were satisfactory offset resistance and, choosing the combination of the second and third alternatives for the definition of the construction system according to criteria of practicality and costs.

Keywords : Prefabricated; simulation; finite element.
