Análisis comparativo de tres tipos de cimientos superficiales en una edificación de hormigón armado de cuatro niveles, caso de estudio sector norte de la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this work was to carry out a comparative analysis of three types of superficial foundations of a multi-family building with four floors, located in the north of the city of Loja, as this area is considered non-urbanizable, due to the lithological, geomorphological and, hydrological and geotechnical can be considered from acceptable to unfavorable. Taking these considerations into account, three types of superficial foundations were analyzed: isolated plinths, dividing plinths and combined plinths, with the purpose of minimizing the influence on the cost of this condition as much as possible. The necessary process to be able to materialize the idea, started from a bibliographical collection, as well, it was necessary to carry out the dimensioning of the three types of superficial foundations in electronic sheets, with their respective verification in the CypeCAD software, to later establish the cost of the items of construction materials of the three types of foundations, and finally, determine that the best alternative of superficial foundation corresponds to the proposal of isolated plinths.
