PISCINAS USUAIS DE EDIFICAÇÕES: Estudo comparativo do dimensionamento de uma piscina enterrada em concreto armado e alvenaria estrutural

Abstract

In search of entertainment, health or even property appreciation, the pool is a dream of consumption for many people. However, it is necessary to analyze from the various building systems available, the one that best suits the given situation. With the approach of actions acting on the structure, internal forces, as well as building systems that can be used for this, this paper presents criteria for the structural design of the usual pools of buildings. The performance of the shares in the pools as well as their classification is given according to its position at ground level and can be: high, supported and buried, the latter being the most common in terms of construction. Important aspects as employed to ensure sealing tightness of the structure, geotechnical parameters for recognition of the ground where the structure is used and the determination of each element that makes up the structure are also covered. Therefore, an architectural project was designed from the characteristics of the study site, in order to establish a comparison between reinforced concrete and structural masonry and check the one that shows the most suitable to be used in the construction of a swimming pool. Data for this study were obtained through structural projects developed in accordance with the methods and regulatory standards given in the bibliographic reference. For a comparison was established, spreadsheets have been prepared with the composition of unit prices, which are evaluated only the direct costs involved in the process, such as the cost of materials, labor and equipment. Finally, it was concluded that in masonry pool showed the best results on the final cost compared to reinforced concrete.
