Análise estrutural de edifícios pré-moldados levando em consideração a semi-rigidez das ligações viga-pilar e as não linearidades físicas e geométricas avaliadas por métodos aproximados

Abstract

The plane frame formed by precast elements have been increasingly used in structural systems of buildings throughout Brazil. These frames, as most of the precast structures deformable connections have a greater or lesser degree. The aim of this study is to analyze the structural behavior of portal frames composed of precast reinforced concrete taking into account the variation in the stiffness of the connections and the physical and geometric nonlinearity evaluated by approximate methods. The analysis of geometric nonlinearity was taken through the process P- and physical nonlinearity was checked by the Branson method. For the analysis of material and geometric nonlinearity simultaneously proposed a coupling of the two methods mentioned above. The proposed coupling was tested in a case study of a building with four floors, considering the loads recommended by NBR 6118 (ABNT, 2014) and evaluating the influence on the stiffness of two beam-column connection types. The results show an increase in the displaceability of the structure more deformable links analyzed five times at the most critical situation is compared with the evaluated frames with more rigid links. The structures analyzed taking into account the nonlinearities present in the internal structural strain variations of up to 162% compared with the linear analysis. Therefore it can be stated that the determination of the stiffness of the connections and the consideration of nonlinearities directly influenced the behavior of the efforts that will act in the structure, and therefore the structural analysis and design of the components of the same.
