Introducción Las placas de base de acero se colocan debajo de las columnas de acero para transferir de forma segura las fuerzas de diseño a los cimientos. Cuando las columnas de acero soportan cargas pesadas con secciones transversales pequeñas, la aplicación directa de las cargas a los cimientos podría provocar fallas por punzonamiento. Por tanto, es fundamental utilizar una placa base debajo de la columna para distribuir la carga en un área mayor. Este artículo proporciona una guía para crear una aplicación de diseño de placa base utilizando Python, aprovechando las propiedades geométricas del acero almacenadas en formato CSV. La aplicación ayudará a los ingenieros a determinar fácilmente el área requerida de la placa base, el espesor, la resistencia al soporte del concreto y el ancho adicional. Además, al utilizar Viktor SDK, podemos transformar sin problemas nuestra implementación de Python en una aplicación web. Este SDK ofrece la capacidad de visualizar nuestra estructura en una vista 3D. ¡Sumerjámonos y actuemos! Principio básico para el diseño de placa base El diseño de la placa base utiliza el método de casquillo en T equivalente para fuerzas axiales, donde se calcula un 'área efectiva' para los casquillos en T en compresión y se evalúa la flexión de la placa base para los casquillos en T en tensión. Se permite corte horizontal mayor y/o menor, pero no momentos, es decir, diseño de base fijada. Lo primero que calculamos es la resistencia portante del hormigón de soporte, fjd. La resistencia de diseño, fjd, entre la parte inferior de la placa base y el material de asiento en el espacio de lechada está dada por: fjd = βj * α * fcd dónde βj = coeficiente del material de la junta de cimentación = (2/3) α = un coeficiente que representa la difusión de la fuerza concentrada dentro de la base fcd = valor de diseño resistencia a la compresión del hormigón = αcc * fck / ɣc αcc = coeficiente para efectos a largo plazo fck = resistencia característica del cilindro del hormigón ɣc = factor de seguridad parcial para concreto El segundo paso es calcular el área de la placa base requerida, que viene dada por la fórmula: Areq = Ned / fjd Donde Ned es la carga última de la columna de acero. El tercer paso es calcular c, que es el saliente en voladizo del área efectiva: C se calcula usando la siguiente fórmula: Aeff = 4 *( c**2) + Pcol * c + Acol Por lo tanto, resuelves para c. Y finalmente calculamos el espesor de la placa base, tp: tp = c * (3 * fjd* Ym0 / _page_fy)**0.50 Implementación en Python del flujo de trabajo de diseño de placa base # Partial factor of resistance of cross-sections whatever the class is as per EN 1993-1-1. Ym0 = 1.0 # Compute foundation bearing strength which is typically concrete #βj is the foundation joint material coefficient, typically taken as 0.67 as per clause 6.2.5(7) in EN 1993-1-8. beta_j=0.67 #α is a coefficient of diffusion of the vertical load being applied to the foundation. Conservatively this can be taken as 1.5 alpha= 1.5 # αcc is the coefficient that allows for long-term effects on the compressive strength of concrete vs applied actions. Taken as 0.85 in the UK National Annex -> on page # Define alpha_cc # Define gamma_c # define fck # γc is the partial factor of safety of concrete.

Utilizar un script de Python que puede ayudarme con dichas comprobaciones y convertir el script en una aplicación web compartible y de fácil acceso utilizando el SDK de Viktor fue fácil y aportó más eficiencia al flujo de trabajo del diseño de la placa base. La creación de este tipo de aplicación de ingeniería puede darle confianza en el sitio de trabajo de construcción solo con su teléfono móvil y poder verificar la precisión del diseño de miembros estructurales como placas base antes de fabricarlos y colocarlos.
