Análise comparativa do dimensionamento e comportamento de uma estrutura em concreto armado com e sem o auxílio de um programa computacional de dimensionamento

Abstract

The technology dominated in the world in the last decades has renewed the way of working in the most varied areas of knowledge, and in civil engineering it was no different. Structural designers sought help in the area of computer programming to speed up and optimize their work, developing programs that would make it easier for them to design structures with greater speed and precision. For reinforced concrete structures, today the most used in Brazil, some computer programs were developed, and one of them is TQS, used in this work to compare the results obtained with the calculations performed through an analytical model, following the same governing standard in the country (ABNT NBR 6118:2014), for both models. The work consists of the design of the reinforced concrete structure, including solid slabs, beams, columns and pile caps, for a one-story house, using TQS and through the analytical model. From the structural design of the two methods a comparison of the results obtained in both methods was made. The amount of steel required in each element of the structure of the house and its steel rates in relation to the volume of concrete used were compared, which for both cases was the same.
