Sistematização do cálculo da capacidade de carga e previsão de recalque em fundações

Abstract

The design of deep foundations is essential to ensure the safety and structural performance of buildings, with piles serving as fundamental elements in transferring loads to the soil. In this work, an automated calculation spreadsheet was developed to evaluate the loadbearing capacity and settlement of piles, using exclusively field data obtained through the Standard Penetration Test (SPT). Some of the main well-established methods from the literature were integrated, with the aim of creating a reliable and user-friendly tool. The proposed spreadsheet enables calculations to be carried out quickly and in a standardized manner, minimizing errors and facilitating decision-making during the design phase. It is expected that this tool will contribute to everyday practice in the development of foundation projects, promoting greater efficiency and safety.
