ESTUDO DO DESLOCAMENTO DE UMA LAJE CONTÍNUA UTILIZANDO O MÉTODO DOS ELEMENTOS FINITOS VIA ANALOGIA DE GRELHA

Abstract

With the advances in construction technologies, it has become feasible to create structures with increasing levels of complexity, and in this sense, carrying out the calculation of these structures, through the methods of classical analytical equations, has become unfeasible, since it is based on simple and already known geometries, and which, unfortunately, does not to most of the structures that currently exist, and that are being built according to the creativity of architects and engineers. So that, with that, structural calculators tended to study structures with a higher degree of complexity, through approximate methods. In this sense, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has become an alternative to calculate the efforts that such structures undergo when loads are applied to them. Thus, the FEM in this work will be used to verify how much the displacement of a continuous slab changes when subjected to specific loads, and to verify what happens to this value each time it is refined, and thus compare such results when calculated by the analytical equation.
