DIMENSIONAMENTO E CAPACIDADE E FUNDAÇÕES: ESTUDO DE CASO SOBRE A COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE SAPATA CORRIDA E RADIERS

Abstract

The study analyzes the importance of foundations in transferring loads from buildings to the ground, ensuring stability and safety. With a variety of foundation types available, the appropriate choice depends on the characteristics of the soil and the loads to be supported. Loads on foundations can be vertical, such as the weight of the building, or horizontal, such as wind and soil pressure. The bearing capacity of the soil is crucial, depending on properties such as compressive strength and compressibility. The text emphasizes that the load supported by the foundation is essential for the safety of the structure, highlighting the risks of deformations, cracks and collapses if the foundation is not adequately sized. The research proposes to explore aspects of foundation design, considering soil and loads, with a focus on efficiency and safety in construction. The importance of correct sizing is highlighted to avoid losses and delays in construction, as well as the relevance of professional supervision and the use of appropriate techniques and software. It is concluded that the study of foundation design plays a crucial role in the development of safe, sustainable and economically viable buildings in civil engineering.
