Análise estática e dinâmica de lajes nervuradas de concreto armado.

Abstract

In this work a study is developed on reinforced concrete ribbed slabs behavior, having in mind there use in a viable, economic and technical point of view, in civil engineering structural systems. Nowadays several slab systems are being developed where reinforced concrete ribbed slabs Reduzcon, presents among them. One of the main characteristics of these ribbed slabs is the low material consumption and the reduced self-weight. This system uses inverted metallic cylindrical cap called BRC (Reduced Concrete Cap), which supports the concrete of the slab. This research work presents a study concerning static and dynamic response of the structural system for vertical translational displacements, stress; as well as, the dynamic response of the system under the point of view of human comfort. Special emphasis is given to the rhythmic activities of human beings, by using models implementations that represents aerobic gymnastics. The definition of dynamic actions upon the structural models were obtained based on the experimental results taking in consideration the crowd effects. The numerical analysis is based on the computational modeling of the system, through the Method of finite elements (MEF), in order to appropriately represent the structural behavior of the Reduzcon slab. Usual techniques of discretization were applied using the computer program Ansys. The edge beams, ribs and the concrete slab were simulated using three-dimensional solid finite elements.
