Cálculo y diseño de la cubierta en estructura Metálica de las canchas de uso múltiple para la unidad Educativa Bolívar de la ciudad de Ambato - Ecuador

Abstract

The present technical project was carried out with the purpose of obtaining the studies and the necessary referential budget for the construction of the metallic structure roof for the "Bolivar" educational unit in order to fulfill the need of covering the sports space from climatic agents. In this project we determined the type of structure that meets the requirements established by the standards currently in force, with the use of specialized software, the structural analysis of the elements was performed and to know their real behavior under the action of the loads; a bibliographic research was conducted and fundamental data were collected to serve as a basis to be used correctly in the study; the most significant investigations were the determination of the soil resistance values to be able to make the foundations and that these do not suffer damages due to deformations, displacements and/or punctures, the determination of the demands of the metallic elements for their analysis of bending, compression and/or moments applied on an infinitesimal element; this thanks to the application of the finite element method that the program performs. Having as a guideline the Ecuadorian Construction Standard in several of its chapters and the foreign codes, AISC-360- 16, ACI-318-14, and AWSD1.1. As a result, the necessary criteria and procedures were acquired to carry out an adequate design of the elements that allowed the construction drawings with their details and finally the general budget and work schedules.
