Estudo comparativo de critérios utilizados por softwares comerciais para dimensionamento e detalhamento de elementos em concreto armado

Abstract

With technological advances, structural calculation has been improved with the existence of commercial softwares that calculates the stresses on the structure, coming from the previously launched load, and dimensioning and detailing all elements, such as beams, slabs and columns. Therefore, the objective of this work is to launch the same case study structure, in reinforced concrete, in two different commercial structural calculation softwares (TQS 2020 and Eberick 2020), with the same structure launch configurations, and to compare the design and detailing criteria used by both in the structural elements existing in the building, identifying possible differences and exemplifying the different possible solutions to carry out a structural project. After the building was processed in both programs, the criteria used by each software in the structural calculation were identified, as well as differences on the values found, caused by the different way that each software considers its supports and links. But despite being different, the values are consistent with reality and safe, since the computer programs selected strictly follow all parameters, criteria and conditions of ABNT NBR 6118 (2014).
