STRUCTURAL COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN CONVENTIONAL SOLID SLABS AND REINFORCED CONCRETE RIBBED SLABS THROUGH MANUAL CALCULATION AND TQS SOFTWARE (Atena Editora)

Abstract

The proposed work consists in the elaboration of a structural calculation of conventional solid and ribbed reinforced concrete slabs of a five-story building, using the criteria of NBR 6118 (ABNT, 2014), and comparing the manual design with the TQS software (Software Definitive for Structural Engineering). The reinforced concrete structure was designed in massive plate-type slabs and ribbed slabs supported by beams. For this, the grid theory method was used under rigid supports, perpendicular to the results of the computer program. The calculation memorial and detailed plans of the structural elements were developed together with the diagnosis and final report of the program. For clarification of the dimensioning, for the most part, the calculations were performed manually where it is possible to identify the theories, applications and concepts of the criteria and methodology used. Microsoft Excel spreadsheets were also used to summarize and route the statistical and analytical information of the due project. At the end of the work, the results obtained in the detailing of the manual calculation were compared with the results obtained in the TQS computational system. Checking that there are differences in the dimensioning of the structural elements. However, the software presents artifices for the arrangement of structural compatibility arrangements, thus making the different verifications manifest the degree of interpretation of the professional based on the behavior of the structure. Microsoft Excel spreadsheets were also used to summarize and route the statistical and analytical information of the due project. At the end of the work, the results obtained in the detailing of the manual calculation were compared with the results obtained in the TQS computational system.
