Desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta computacional para cálculo de peças de madeira submetidas à flexão

Abstract

Timber has a historical use in building construction, being one of the main materials for engineering works until the early 19th century. The Brazilian norm for timber design, ABNT NBR 7190:2022, was recently updated and some of design methods have been changed. To assist the learning of these changes, for users who already used the old norm and for users who intend to learn the updated norm, a software was developed, through python language and named of “WooDim”, to design a timber beam, when subjected to any bending moment due to distributed loading. Finally, the validation of the tool was obtained by comparing of the values obtained manually and by the program.
