Method of execution of the cable-stayed curtain: a study of the Containment of vila são bento in belo horizonte

Mateus Bravo de Aguiar and Tiago Luiz da Costa

Abstract: 

Containment structures are structures designed to contain a mass of soil, or urban terrain, resisting buoyancy of land and water, structural loads and any other stresses induced by adjacent structures or equipment. The construction works almost always involve containment structures, which are present in projects of roads, bridges, stabilization of slopes, plumbing, sanitation, meters etc. There are several types of containment that are designed for different needs and goals, one of which is the wire curtain. The wire curtain, one of the most modern containment methods, is a reinforced concrete structure that works in conjunction with prestressed steel rods. By analyzing this structure better, it is possible to evaluate its advantages and disadvantages, to understand its execution process, and to determine for which type of work this structure is better designated. In this present research we intend to delve into the wire curtain of the São Bento village in Belo Horizonte, which is on the threshold of rupture.
