DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UMA FERRAMENTA COMPUTACIONAL COM BANCO DE DADOS PARA VERIFICAÇÃO DA RESISTÊNCIA MECÂNICA PARA PILARES METÁLICOS

Abstract

Compared to reinforced concrete, steel structures have several advantages, from their acquisition cost and speed of execution, being widely used in developed countries, especially in the implementation of projects that require high technical standards and speed of execution. The objective of this work is to implement a software containing a database for the design of steel steel columns, according to NBR 8800: 2008, to verify the best profile in terms of money and lightness. The methodology used followed NBR 8800:2008, where for the design the verification of the steel structures was implemented, followed by the elaboration of computational algorithms. Subsequently, the computational codes were implemented in Python language, with the use of the IDE Vs Code and the linking of the computational codes for the execution of the computational tool by the user was carried out. Regarding the optimization of the computational tool with the creation of the database, containing the geometric characteristics of the profiles, excellent results were obtained in its handling, with the parameters required by the market, without the need for external verification. Thus, demonstrating greater reliability in the results obtained during the design, minimizing the errors arising from a profile base that is not updated or verified in the market. The computer program provides, from its internal database of metal profiles, the solution with the lowest linear mass, highlighting a more efficient profile for the structure and its monetary value.
