Estudo do comportamento mecânico de estruturas submetidas a corregamento estático

Abstract

During the structural design, it is essential to know the mechanical behavior of structural elements once it enables to understand the deformation and the internal forces acting in the system. However, until the mid-twentieth century, for certain types of structures, performing this analysis accurately was a challenging task because of the difficulty and quantity of calculations involved. This scenario began to change with the advent of the computer, which allowed the application of mathematical techniques, such as the Finite Element Method, to structural analysis, providing greater precision in the evaluations. Thus, based on the importance of these for civil construction, this work had as objective to provide the interpretation of the mechanical behavior of a deep beam subjected to static loads. For this, the software ABAQUS/CAE, student version 2018, was used to simulate the chosen example, detailing each step of the simulation process and how each of these can influence the results. Therefore, the computational simulation of the deep beam allowed to analyze the stress distribution along the element.
