Desarrollo de una plataforma virtual para la elaboración y control de informes de diseño estructural en el contexto ecuatoriano

Abstract

Abstract: This project aims to develop an open-source platform for users to create structural engineering design reports according to the Ecuadorian context. So as to optimise workflows and increase performance, the platform was built as a web application. Consequently, it is available to anyone with internet access. For the execution of the project, the Design Thinking methodology was implemented. The methodology includes gathering information from the internet, interviewing users, prototyping, development, and validation. Compared to traditional reporting methods, the platform was accepted by engineers, who gave it a positive review. They highlighted the optimisation in time, accessibility and scalability. Regarding the limitations, the platform was designed for buildings of up to 5 floors.
