RESUMO

In the context of construction modernization, the application of precast concrete elements offers a good and reliable alternative in the construction strategy, among them large spans, fast assembly, lightweightness and excellent structural members quality. Dealing about dynamic behavior of concrete structures, precast elements are subjected to several loading conditions, from their manufacturing, transport, assembly, connection and finally to service. Prestressing technique is often applied in precast elements, so the influence of prestressing forces on dynamic parameters must be considered. Precast prestressed concrete elements, such as double-T panels and hollow core slabs are commonly used in building floors, but not always a previous dynamic evaluation is accomplished, so vibration problems are likely to occur. This work presents a synthesis of design procedures as recommended by the brazilian and foreign codes regarding to human comfort under vibration conditions. Analytical methods allow the determination of natural frequency of structural elements, being them prestressed or not. Also typical double-T panels and hollow core slabs were analyzed by Finite Element Method (ANSYS software) and analytical and numerical results were compared. A discussion of the results about the Service Vibration Limit State is made. This work also presents an experimental study on a reinforced concrete beam provided with external prestressing tendons. The goal of this study was to demonstrate dynamic tests to characterize dynamic parameters and to discuss vibration control. The tested beam was also simulated on ANSYS to compare theoretical and experimental results. Some conclusions has been drawn, such as typical double-T panels and hollow core slabs may suffer restrictions above certain span dimensions. Also the application of external tendons, with or without prestressing forces may be applied to reduce vibration levels, either by increasing stiffness of the structure or controlling cracking of the concrete beam.
