THE VIERENDEEL TRUSS: PAST AND PRESENT OF AN INNOVATIVE TYPOLOGY
In the late 19th century, Belgian engineer Jules Arthur Vierendeel registered the patent for a new type of beam. This would be later on better known as the Vierendeel truss. It is characterized by the frame’s lack of diagonal members, something which would appear to contradict conditions of steadine...

Isto seria mais tarde mais conhecido como a armação de Vierendeel. Caracteriza-se pela falta de elementos diagonais do quadro, algo que pareceria contradizer as condições de estabilidade e equilíbrio, juntamente com a sua notável deformação e difícil cálculo, fez com que os técnicos de sua época fossem céticos quanto à sua aplicabilidade. No entanto, sua aplicação cresceu em popularidade durante o século XX, sendo utilizada tanto na engenharia civil quanto na arquitetura. Quais são as vantagens da treliça de Vierendeel em relação a outros tipos, como as treliças diagonais? Neste artigo, a tipologia Vierendeel será introduzida juntamente com suas principais características, seu cálculo e sua implementação em obras de engenharia civil e arquitetura. Palavras-chave: Vierendeel, Pratt, estruturas estatiscamente indeterminadas.
