Diseño de una estructura de acero de cuatro pisos para vivienda ubicada en el cantón Samborondón

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the design of a steel structure for a house in Km 4.5 of the Samborondón Canton, Ecuador, with the goal of creating a stable building in compliance with national NEC (Ecuadorian Construction Standards) and international AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) regulations. The process began with gathering information and analyzing W-type and PTE-type steel profiles, subjected to various forces and evaluated for their dynamic response to a seismic force of 33.43 tons. Using structural analysis software, a system of PTE stiffeners was chosen to ensure seismic resistance. The estimated budget for the steel profiles is $149,500.31. The structural design guarantees the stability of the building in relation to the environment and location of the project, ensuring its performance during seismic events.
