Análisis comparativo de una propuesta estructural con columnas compuestas tipo cajón relleno y un sistema de columnas de concreto reforzado en el diseño de una edificación de uso educacional en la ciudad de Bucaramanga.

Abstract

This document presents the comparison of a structural system with traditional reinforced concrete columns and an alternative with composite columns, in the design of an essential educational building, consisting of a one-story block with a multipurpose terrace. The review and selection of the best solution is determined by the results of functionality through values of drift, quantities of materials and associated economic costs. The results indicate that the simple substitution of the columns detracts the overall costs; which highlights the importance of carrying out a structural reconfiguration based on the new composite columns, which consist of a metal box that confines the concrete core; allowing the best performance, the smallest structural quantities and savings in terms of costs.
