Análisis geotécnico-estructural de una edificación emmedue sobre un suelo compresible, aplicando modelos de medio continuo

Abstract

In this research, two-story building configured with the Emmedue structural system (load-bearing walls), footing on a compressible soil subject to differential settlements, was geotechnically-structurally analyzed, using the MIDAS GTS NX software (GTS NX), for the determination of the differential settlements and stresses in the structural elements. It was configured in GTS NX through 2D elements (walls, slabs and roofs) and 3D (foundation slabs, soils), with their respective geomechanical properties, and performed the coupled and non-coupled analysis of the soil-structure. The coupled soil-structure analysis, wich settlements and the stress resulting from gravitational and seismic loads in addition to, the effect of consolidation (settlements) and the increase in stress on the structural elements were verified. The uncoupled soil-structure analysis is a function of the subgrade reaction modulus that simulates the behavior of the soil with the respect structure, to identify the settlements and stresses in the structural elements. Finally, using Von Mises theory was determined the sites of the elements (walls, slab, roof and foundation slab) were susceptible to failure.
