DESENVOLVIMENTO DE ESQUADRIA DE CORRER DE ALUMÍNIO: simulação de cálculo estrutural de cargas uniformemente distribuídas

Abstract

The use of aluminum frames in buildings occurs widely in the construction market. Several models are used with the intention of separating the environment, lighting or ventilation, varying according to the typology in question. Based on this, there is a recurring launch of new models with the most diverse types of profiles, so that competitiveness is constantly encouraged. Like other materials used in a building, the frames also underwent compliance with standards and resistance verification through tests in specialized laboratories prior to being supplied. Therefore, the present work analyzes and simulates the efforts suffered by a racing-type window, concluding whether the developed model has the necessary structural resistance for movement. The verification carried out is characterized in accordance with the mechanical tests considered by the ABNT NBR 10821 standard, which allow measurement of the maximum dimension of variation in the components, making it possible to analyze whether the frame tries to pass or fail in practical tests. Based on the data analyzed from a line 12 frame, it was possible to verify that, within the project developed, the product does not have sufficient mechanical resistance for the approval, commercialization and consequent use of the product in region 3 with 5 floors.
