Comparative analysis between reinforced concrete sill plate and prestressed concrete sill plate, equating construction costs for a residential development
Abstract— The area of civil construction is responsible for developing new construction methods, with more efficient and economical technologies. The prestressed concrete sill plate is an example of engineering evolution when it comes to shallow foundation. The lack of planning in civil works can cause a number of problems and even overburden the work budget, especially in the case of sill plate execution service. For the accomplishment of this work, the case study methodology was used in a construction of a residential development located in the city of Manaus. Besides pointing out the economy consolidated by the project after adopting the new construction method based on economic feasibility studies, this quantitative work aims to compare two types of surface foundation: prestressed concrete and reinforced concrete sill plate. The prestressed sill plate, no matter how much it requires skilled labor to perform, allows for a significant reduction in one of the heaviest items in a budget spreadsheet: concrete. Thus, it can be observed through the analysis that the prestressed concrete sill plate method is the most viable for the construction company because it presents cost reduction and improvements in the ability to resist the loading of structures.

Effect of Cabrio® Top and Macuco Bean (Pachyrhizus spp.) Extracts on Soil Mesofauna
Abstract— Macuco bean (Pachyrhizus spp.) Is an atypical horticulture that has toxicity in its seeds and has potential for disease control, but its effect on soil stability is unknown? Among the bioindicators to evaluate soil quality is the analysis of fauna diversity, considered to be the most sensitive for presenting rapid response to changes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the effect that macuco bean extracts and Cabrio® Top fungicide have on the soil mesofauna, with a completely randomized block design with three treatments and six replications. The treatments were: bean extract (1: 1000), a solution of Cabrio® Top (1: 250) and the water control. Pipes 100 mm in diameter were inserted into the soil 10 cm deep, one pipe being the experimental unit. For the extraction of mesofauna the Berlese-Tullgren method was used. After eight days in the extractor the samples with the mesofauna were removed for proper counting on the stereoscope. Moisture, group richness and abundance of individuals were evaluated. The results showed that soil moisture favored the richness of the edaphic mesofauna. Extract and Cabrio® Top compared to water increased the richness of faunal groups, but water presented higher abundance of specimens. However, all evaluated variables did not show significant variability between treatments. Therefore, Macuco bean extract and Cabrio® Top maintained soil quality without imbalancing the edaphic mesofauna. Keywords— Collemboli, Mites; Group wealth; Abundance of specimens. -
