Desenvolvimento de Calculadora de Dimensionamento de Sapatas Rígidas

Abstract

The work aimed to develop an executable file through the Smath Solver software, to assist in the design of the longitudinal reinforcement of rigid footings. The language used in the program is purely mathematical with some programming conditions; this was one of the main characteristics for choosing the software: familiarity with the language used. Different calculation assumptions were addressed for the three possible conditions of acting loads, which could be centered load, eccentric load, and eccentric load in both directions. For this reason, 3 independent files were created, with the same logical structure, starting with the geometric design of the footing, followed by the reinforcement design, and ending with the definition of the steel. All steps are assisted by the operator, which is essential for completing the design. To validate the calculator's result, a case study was conducted with two footings, comparing the obtained design.
