Viabilidade Econômica de Fundações Tipo Radier em Edificações de Pequeno Porte

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to address a theme that is not very widely used in Brazil, although the use of radier foundations is very common in developing countries. In Brazil, this model of construction is little used compared to other types of foundations commonly indicated for small and medium-sized constructions. Considering this current context, a quantitative research was carried out to study the economical feasibility to implement this type of foundation when comparing the use of baldrays, studying the safety of these elements is fundamental, since their use without due technical knowledge can generate great damages both socially and economically. This responsibility lies with qualified professionals, such as engineers, who make the tasks performed efficiently, bringing a great deal of time, which directly influences the economic viability of a work. For this, a distinct project was chosen, seeking the similarity with most existing constructions in the city of Goianésia-Go. For the dimensioning of the elements of both foundations, the structural design software EBERICK was used. In addition, the quantitative and material costs and labor costs will be presented for the execution of both foundations, showing the feasibility of their implementation.
