Software para dimensionamento de reforço com fibra de carbono ao cisalhamento (RFCC)

Abstract

This Course Completion Work (TCC) addresses the development of specialized software for calculating beam reinforcement sizing using carbon fiber as shear material. The main objective is to facilitate the structural design process, offering an efficient and accessible tool for engineers and professionals in the field. The benefits of this material are explored, such as strength, lightness and durability, highlighting its crucial role in structural reinforcement. Based on these analyses, the need for a specific computational tool to optimize and simplify the sizing process is justified. The research begins with a comprehensive bibliographic survey on sizing with Reinforced Polymer Fibers (FRP), thus leading to the development of methodologies derived from the documents “ACI 440.2R-8” and “CEB FIP 90”. The software development is described in detail, highlighting the main functionalities and algorithms implemented. The program is designed to be intuitive, providing a user-friendly and efficient interface for users. Additionally, security and accuracy considerations built into the software are discussed, ensuring reliable results. Finally, the conclusions of the study are presented, highlighting the contributions of the software to the area of structural engineering and pointing out possible directions for future improvements.
