Use of wood from the national forest to build regional offices of IBAMA

ABSTRACT

Brazil possesses a great variety of wood species of economic value but not used by the market. The present work presents a proposal of rationalized use of well-known and not very known wood species found in the Brazilian National Forests, objectifying the construction of IBAMA’s Regional Offices. In these constructions a new structural and constructive system is used in wood, composed by panels armed with metallic bars that work as walls in a group of pillars and beams, which could also be used as floor panels and covering.
