Desenvolvimento de programa para seleção e pré-dimensionamento de fundações com ênfase em estacas do tipo pré-moldadas de concreto, Franki, hélice contínua e escavadas com fluido estabilizantes

Abstract

The incessant need to save time and financial resources in the construction industry, aiming to meet both the demands of customers and construction companies, is a recurring fact. To ensure customer satisfaction and avoid problems with the quality of the work, it is essential to use efficient management methods. Interactive comparison between types of piles is an approach that helps select the most appropriate foundation, minimizing potential aesthetic and structural flaws in the structure that the foundation will support. In this work, semi-empirical methods for dimensioning foundations, established as Aoki-Velloso and Cintra-Aoki, were discussed. By inserting basic information such as SPT survey data and data on the columns to be sized into the program, it is possible to automatically obtain a PDF report with pre-sizing data for precast piles, excavated with stabilizing fluid, continuous helix and Franki, as well as settlement forecasts. The main objective of this study is to develop a computer program that offers support to the user in decision-making to choose the most appropriate foundation, that is, to help academics and engineers find the best geotechnical solutions for each situation.
