Análise comparativa e estudo de viabilidade de projetos de fundação para o IFG - Câmpus Aparecida de Goiânia

Abstract

Soils composition varies according to many aspects and therefore it cannot be guaranteed that the properties will be the same from one point to another, even if nearby. Thus, geotechnical investigations in the area of reference to the project are of utmost importance as they provide to the foundation engineer technical support based on soil study reports in order to find the best foundation solution for the site. Based on this, the objective of this research is to compare the performance in terms of strength and feasibility of four foundation sizing solutions for the expansion of the Civil Engineering Technological Building at the Federal Institute of Goiás, Aparecida de Goiânia campus. Thereunto, the research consists of analyzing the geotechnical properties of the study area, mainly through the SPT test and then evaluating which type of foundation is most suitable for future construction. From the results, it can be said that the properties of the studied soil are consistent with the region where it is located. The load calculations and the feasibility studies indicate that there is a range of possible foundations, being the caisson type the most feasible to be performed at the site.
