Vigas de seção retangular em flexão pura – armadura simples e dupla: elaboração de planilhas para o auto aprendizado.

Abstract

This project, corresponding to the Final Coursework II, is driven by an exploration of reinforced concrete principles, with a particular focus on the design of the cross-sectional area and required reinforcement for rectangular sections subjected to pure bending. Two reinforcement arrangements are considered: single reinforcement, where tension reinforcement is calculated, and in the compressed region, assembly reinforcement, commonly known as stirrup support; and double reinforcement, where both tension and compression reinforcements are determined. Building upon previous works, the aim is to enhance existing spreadsheets for reinforcement calculation and automate, through software, the calculation of longitudinal reinforcement for elements under pure bending, based on the previously developed spreadsheets. This endeavor seeks to contribute to the teaching and learning process by providing an improved tool for reinforcement design in structural elements subjected to bending.
