Comparação de programas computacionais para o dimensionamento de estruturas de concreto armado

Abstract

During the course of civil engineering, it can be seen how time consuming and tiring it can be to draw up a manually designed structural project. Nowadays, it is practically unfeasible to work in this way, especially with the diffusion of computer programs that simulate and elaborate these projects. For the design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures in Brazil, the most used programs today are: Eberick, Cypecad and TQS. This work contemplates the interpretation of the criteria used during the data insertion in each software and the analysis of the differences in the final dimensioning of each one for the same adopted structure.
