RDE - RANKING DAS ESTRUTURAS

The choice of the structural system, in most cases, is made taking into account only the direct cost of the structure and many times, they use only the consumption of concrete as an indicator. However, a structure is made up of 3 basic inputs (concrete, steel and form) and labor. It is worth noting that the item form and labor represents an average of 50% of the total cost, the savings of which are achieved through execution productivity. The Ranking of Structures proposes an application capable of assisting the decision making of designers, engineers and construction companies regarding the choice of the best structural system for the execution of the concrete structure in question, in its most varied forms and compositions, proposing a methodology for the evaluation and automatic classification of the economic efficiency of the structural system adopted, considering the direct and indirect costs, in a global and systemic way.
