Evaluación técnica económica del empleo de viguetas de alma abierta y hormigón armado en losas unidireccionales de entrepiso

Abstract

The research focused on the theoretical analysis of open web and reinforced concrete joists in buildings, highlighting their economic implications. Three-dimensional modeling was performed, and spreadsheets were used to design key structural elements. The loads of these structural elements were determined. A cost-benefit analysis was conducted to evaluate the economic implications and advantages of the alternatives considered, integrating it into a three-dimensional model to clarify the influence of open web joists on the structure. The results showed a reduction in weight and therefore in cost by adopting open web joists, being crucial information for making decisions in the structural design of commercial buildings, considering their economic and technical repercussions.
