Projeto estrutural de uma cobertura metálica simples

Abstract

The document presents a detailed study on the design of roofs with metal structures, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of using steel in construction. The main objective of the work is to present the criteria for developing metal roof projects, reviewing technical standards, developing design concepts, and sizing critical elements. The case study investigates the structural analysis and digital modeling of a ramp and staircase roof, designed to ensure safe public access in different types of buildings. With the support of specialized software, simulations and analyses of the structural conditions were carried out, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of the structure’s behavior.. The document concludes that the use of metal structures offers significant advantages in terms of strength, lightness, sustainability, and construction speed, despite some challenges such as high initial cost and the need for specialize labor.
