RESUMO

In engineering, there are several structural analysis techniques leading to obtain displacements and efforts with a considerable degree of efficacy and accuracy, and, among these, there is the SUBSTRUCTURING technique. This method consists in the division and analysis of a complete structural model, by subdividing his field in SUBSTRUCTURES, allowing a considerable efficiency in calculations and evaluation of structural models combined with hierarchical structures analysis. In this work, following the methodology research, which involved a literature review and computational models development, the key techniques of substructures were presented - section 1, as well as main methods definitions and theoretical formulation - developed by Przemienieck (1963), Rosen and Rubinstein (1968), Rubinstein (1970) and El-Sayed and Hsiung (1990) - and structural hierarchical analysis concept with their applications combined with aircraft structures cracks substructuring technical analysis, proposed by Starnes and Britt (1991), and implemented by Potyondy (1993) - Section 2. In this context, a civil construction typical structures analysis methodology was proposed in section 3. Besides, many useful tools for their implementation were presented, among which stands out the simplified hierarchy analysis methodology proposal. Some precautions in the methodology applying were also presented. In section 4, five case studies were developed, applying the methodology, tools and precautions explained in section 3, especially the methodologies effectiveness. The research is concluded in section 5, and new research lines, to be undertaken on the methodology proposed, were outpointed in section 6.
