Full Article:

This research is based on the problems faced by designers in the execution of models generated with the "Form-findind" design technique, due to the low or non-existent market proposal regarding the quality of materials capable of withstanding the stresses to which a model with complex curvatures is subjected; therefore, the use of agro-industrial pozzolans (sugarcane bagasse ash) is proposed as a 20% substitute for Portland cement to obtain flexible concrete, with the intention of evaluating the physical-mechanical behavior and its application to geometries based on force systems (catenaries) obtained from mesh relaxation through digital simulation, following the form-finding technique, resulting in a 16% superiority in compression tests of concrete with pozzolans compared to conventional concrete (control).
