Evaluación y optimización de la estructura metálica de una vivienda unifamiliar mediante un análisis de elementos finitos (FEA), para el estudio de arquitectura AM STUDIO con el propósito de garantizar la seguridad, resistencia y eficiencia estructural.

Abstract

This thesis evaluates and optimizes the steel structure of a single-family dwelling located in the city of Azogues through finite element analysis. The study considers the Ecuadorian Construction Code and the region’s high seismic hazard. Structural stresses, deformations, and vibration modes are analyzed, achieving an optimization that reduces weight and costs without compromising safety or structural performance.
