Análisis y optimización de las capacidades de carga de cerchas en el software SAP 2000 en el diseño de estructuras.

Abstract

My degree work focuses on understanding the behavior of trusses with variable slopes, with values of 7%, 10%, 15% and 20%, as well as with loading widths varying between 4 meters and 8 meters. The main objective of this work is to provide essential information for the pre-design of structures, allowing engineers to make informed decisions. The research seeks to determine the influence of the slope and loading width on the structural performance of the trusses. The possibility of choosing between increasing the cant of the truss or changing to a larger profile will be evaluated, in order to optimize structural efficiency and guarantee design safety. The results of this study will contribute to the development of criteria and tools that facilitate decisionmaking in the design of truss structures, considering the variability of the slope and loading width.
