Standard Door Sizes in Brazil (NBR 15930)
Pick the room and read the leaf width used in Brazilian homes: 62 cm bathroom and laundry, 72 bedroom, 82 living room, 92 entrance, all 210 cm tall.

Standard door sizes
The Brazilian standard NBR 15930 lists the usual interior door sizes by width × height. You get 80×210 cm for living rooms and bedrooms, which is the default entry, 70×210 cm for bathrooms and service areas, and 90×210 cm for accessible doors (PMR, meaning Person with Reduced Mobility). The rough opening, or vão, has to be roughly 4 cm wider than the door leaf so the frame fits. Accessibility is required under Law 13.146/2015, the Brazilian Inclusion Law. In the US the equivalent is 36" (91 cm) for entry doors and 32" (81 cm) for interior ones. So an 80 cm leaf wants an 84 cm rough opening.
Applications
Handy when you're doing carpentry, construction, renovation work, or just ordering a pre-hung door kit. Where accessibility matters, the project has to follow NBR 9050 for universal design, plus the Brazilian Inclusion Law for public buildings and multi-family housing.
FAQ
Why is the bathroom door narrower? The 70 cm width buys you space in a cramped floor plan. The catch is that it doesn't meet accessibility rules, so PMR units have to use a 90 cm door instead.
What is the rough opening? It's the actual hole left in the wall. The door leaf comes out smaller because the frame, or batente, eats about 2 cm on each side and another 2 cm up top.
Does the height ever change? 210 cm is the norm, though "extra tall" doors at 240 cm show up a lot in high-end work. And older houses often run shorter, around 200 cm.

Axle Load Equivalency Factor
Computes how many passes of the standard axle are equivalent to one pass of the real axle, using the power law of pavement design: factor = (axle load ÷ standard axle load) raised to the damage exponent. This factor is what converts a traffic count into the number N of standard axle repetitions, which in Brazil is the 8.2 tf, or 80 kN, single axle with dual wheels. The exponent amplifies overload brutally: an axle 20% heavier than the standard does not consume 20% more pavement but 2.07 times as much, which is why a single overloaded truck weighs more on the life of the road than thousands of cars, whose factor is practically zero. The exponent is an input rather than fixed at 4, the AASHTO value known as the fourth power law, because rigid pavement and fatigue cracking models work with exponents between 3 and 5 and the result shifts by a whole level depending on the choice. Enter the axle load, the standard axle load and the damage exponent.
