USO DA HÉLICE CONTÍNUA EM FUNDAÇÕES PREDIAIS: Um Estudo De Caso Na Cidade De São Lourenço - MG

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis examines the selection and application of the continuous helical pile technique in the foundations of the Mônaco Building, an eleven-story structure located in São Lourenço, MG. Initially delving into the context of building foundations, it discusses types and the significance of appropriate choices. The theoretical framework covers an introduction to the continuous helical pile, its challenges, and considerations in its application, followed by a detailed methodology on data acquisition for the foundation. The analysis and discussion of results include a comprehensive comparison between the continuous helical pile, Strauss pile, and root pile. The central focus is on the application of the continuous helical pile in the Mônaco Building, revealing benefits such as structural

stability, quick execution, and waste minimization. The work serves as a detailed case study on the effectiveness of the continuous helical pile in a specific context. The concluding remarks highlight the success of the continuous helical pile in the Mônaco Building, solidifying it as an effective and sustainable option in building foundations. Lessons learned and the technical expertise acquired contribute to advancements in civil engineering, outlining standards for conscious and efficient choices in construction. This case study contributes to the understanding and application of the continuous helical pile in future projects, reinforcing its role as a valuable innovation in foundation engineering.
