Portuguese to English: ANÁLISE DA RELAÇÃO ENTRE ESTRUTURA E DESIGN DE DUAS PONTES DE ROBERT MAILLART UTILIZANDO O SOFTWARE ANSYS General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Construction / Civil Engineering
Source text - Portuguese Resumo. A concepção de projetos de grande magnitude tais como pontes, viadutos, estádios, torres e aquedutos exigem especial atenção do projetista devido ao impacto que este
pode gerar em seu entorno. Quando bem projetada, esta construção pode transcender seu propósito funcional original e atingir dimensões do campo da subjetividade, interferindo na
beleza, harmonia e autoestima de uma cidade. Ao longo da história da humanidade, temos inúmeros exemplos de construções desta natureza que se tornaram emblemas de cidades, governantes ou períodos históricos. A Revolução Industrial, além de promover as conhecidas mudanças na sociedade, também desmembrou definitivamente a atuação profissional do engenheiro e do arquiteto. Percebe-se, que nos dias de hoje, é muito frequente a elaboração de projetos nos quais o diálogo entre arquitetura e estrutura são deficientes, gerando problemas de diversas naturezas. O conceito de Arte Estrutural, desenvolvido pelo PhD David Billington, da Universidade de Princeton, Estados Unidos, será abordado neste trabalho. Billington defende que construções desta natureza devem aliar eficiência estrutural, estética agradável e a consequente economia de recursos. O engenheiro suíço Robert Maillart desenvolveu, ao longo de sua carreira, a habilidade de conciliar as premissas estruturais e requisitos de design de modo a conferir formidável valor estético e de eficiência estrutural às
pontes que projetou. É portanto um excelente exemplo de artista estrutural. Neste trabalho, será feita a análise computacional da estrutura simplificada de duas pontes de Robert Maillart,
por meio do software Ansys que utiliza como método de análise o Método dos elementos finitos (MEF). Na ponte Zuoz (1901), verificaram-se patologias na parede do arco de concreto, cuja porção foi intuitivamente removida na ponte Tavanasa (1905). Objetiva-se simular os dois modelos, analisando as interações entre a estrutura e o design estético, e avaliar a eficiência proposta por Maillart ao modelo de Tavanasa.
Translation - English Abstract. The design of large-scale projects such as bridges, viaducts, stadiums, towers, and aqueducts requires special attention from the designer due to the impact that they can generate in their surroundings. When well designed, these constructions can transcend their original functional purpose and reach dimensions in the subjectivity field, interfering in the beauty, harmony and self-esteem of a city. Throughout the history of humanity, we have numerous examples of buildings of this nature that have become emblems of cities, rulers or historical periods. The Industrial Revolution, in addition to promoting the known changes in society, also definitively dismembered the engineer and the architect's professional performance. It can be noticed that, in the present day, is very frequent project designs in which the dialogue between architecture and structure is deficient, generating problems of different natures. The concept of Structural Art, developed by Ph.D. David Billington of Princeton University, USA, will be addressed in this work. Billington defends that constructions of this nature must unite structural efficiency, pleasant aesthetic and the consequent economy of resources. The Swiss engineer Robert Maillart developed, throughout his career, the ability to conciliate the structural premises and design requisites to confer formidable aesthetic value and structural efficiency to the bridges that he projected. He is, therefore, an excellent example of a structural artist. In this work, the computational analysis of the simplified structure of two Robert Maillart’s bridges will be made, using the Ansys Software that uses as analysis method the MEF - Finite Elements Method. In the Zuoz bridge (1901), pathologies in the concrete arch wall had been verified, which portion was instinctively removed in the Tavanasa bridge (1905). The aim is to simulate the two models, analyzing the interactions between the structure and the aesthetic design, and to evaluate the efficiency proposed by Maillart to the Tavanasa model.
