Análise de blocos sobre duas e três estacas através do método das bielas e tirantes e método numérico

Abstract

This study presents a comparison between two methodologies used for the calculation and design of pile caps. For the analysis in question, two blocks on two and three piles were considered, dimensioned by the strut and tie method, and using the SAP2000 software. The blocks in question are subjected to a centered compressive force. To carry out this study, the methodology adopted was exploratory research developed from bibliographic surveys, analysis of examples, and data collection. The objective was to assess whether there are large differences in the design performed through the two methodologies. It was verified that, for the given situation, of blocks on two and three piles submitted to the centered compression force, there were some differences in the behavior of the blocks, when dimensioned by the method of connecting rods and tie rods, or by the numerical method, with the conditions of observed contour.
