Análise da fundação do castelo d’água do campus da UFRB em Cruz das Almas - estaca tipo broca

Abstract

In order to design a work safely is essential knowledge of the most relevant characteristics of the underground construction point of view. In the case of foundations, the engineer foundations must have at hand the survey reports, and so have sufficient autonomy to choose the type of foundation that is more viable from an economic point of view as a coach. This work is the result of the case study, the type drill stake foundation of interaction in the construction of the castle of water, on the campus of UFRB in Cruz das Almas, Bahia. Work that developed from literature surveys, which sought to know the different subsurface investigation methods, and characteristics of different types of foundation as well as its limitations and advantages, and so do a comparison between the theoretical and field data. Using the obtained field data, we designed a stratigraphic map of the soil in order to analyze the constituent layers of the soil and so check the compatibility with the chosen type of foundation. Because of the considerable work has concentrated load, plus the thrust exerted by water and wind load, besides being a high structure, the use of a deep foundation is required, due to this absorb the stresses and relay them to the ground throughout the foundation element, conferring greater stability to the structure.
