Aplicação de ferramentas de inteligência artificial no apoio ao desenvolvimento de projetos de estrutura de concreto armado

Abstract

This study analyzes the application of artificial intelligence tools in the development of a structural design for a reinforced concrete building. The objective is to evaluate the ability of AI models (ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude) to assist in the early stages of structural design, assessing the accuracy of their responses, their compliance with technical standards, and their practical usefulness when addressing real problems within the TQS software. The methodology involved creating technical prompts, comparing the answers provided by the AIs, and confronting these results with manual calculations and normative references. The findings indicate that the tools perform well in conceptual explanation and in proposing solutions when properly contextualized; however, they still exhibit limitations in interpreting standards and in tasks requiring detailed reading of technical attachments. It is concluded that AI is a promising resource, provided its use is complemented by the engineer’s critical validation.
