COMPARATIVE STUDY OF COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE WALL SIZING
The present work aims to compare the manual calculation method with the Cypecad software method (2014) for the design of reinforced concrete walls. Furthermore, contrast with the software GEO5 Empuxo de Terra (2016) and Ftool version 3.01, with regard to the calculation of active efforts. For this, the same application example was used for the manual and digital solution, with the aim of mainly evaluating the results obtained for the consumption of steel and concrete, but also the shear forces and bending moments that require containment. The results demonstrated that there was no major discrepancy between requesting efforts calculated by the analyzed methods, however, in relation to Cypecad, when adopting some international criteria, there was a variation in the amount of steel and concrete used.

Abstract:
The present work aims to compare the manual calculation method with the Cypecad software method (2014) for the design of reinforced concrete walls. Furthermore, contrast with the software GEO5 Empuxo de Terra (2016) and Ftool version 3.01, with regard to the calculation of active efforts. For this, the same application example was used for the manual and digital solution, with the aim of mainly evaluating the results obtained for the consumption of steel and concrete, but also the shear forces and bending moments that require containment. The results demonstrated that there was no major discrepancy between requesting efforts calculated by the analyzed methods, however, in relation to Cypecad, when adopting some international criteria, there was a variation in the amount of steel and concrete used.
