RESUMO

In this work it is presented computational methodologies for the design of reinforced concrete massive slabs. The design of the slabs is made using an elastic and perfect elastoplastic analysis, an optimum design using mathematical programming and a plastic analysis project. The conventional project of reinforced concrete slabs has been made starting from efforts determined by the hypothesis of linear elastic behavior of the material. Using the computational methodologies developed in this work, it is proposed a procedure of design of reinforced concrete massive slabs that uses efforts obtained through a perfect elasto-plastic analysis developed by the finite element method. The design of the orthogonal reinforcements, positive and negative, in each point of the slab is made in order to assist the yield criteria defined in function of the bending and torsion moments and in order to obtain the lowest consumption of reinforcement. The limit states of serviceability corresponding to the slab deflection and crack opening are also considered in the design.The elastic and perfect elasto-plastic analyses of the slabs, described by their medium plan and discretized by the finite element method, are performed under the hypothesis of small displacements with consistent formulation in displacements. In the perfect elasto-plastic analysis, the Newton-Raphson algorithm is used to solve the equilibrium equations at global level of the structure. The relationships of the Plasticity Theory are resolved at local level,that is, for each Gauss point of the iscretized structure. The return mapping problem in the perfect elasto- plastic analysis is formulated as a problem of Mathematical Programming (PM). The Method of the Interior Points proposed by Herskovits (HERSKOVITS, 1995) is used as a return mapping algorithm in the perfect elasto-plastic analysis.
