Diseño de nave industrial para IMECORSA S.A. en Durán, con oficinas, taller y acceso para tractocamiones

Abstract

CONDITION FOR PUBLICATION OF PROJECT. This paper presents the design of an industrial building for the company IMECORSA S.A., located in the Durán Industrial Park, in the province of Guayas. The structural design of a modular industrial warehouse for the company is contemplated in accordance with technical guidelines established by the Ecuadorian Construction Standard (NEC) and international standards such as AISC 360-22 for steel structures. The design process included a soil study, followed by a structural load analysis and modeling using SAP2000 software to verify compliance with safety parameters such as fundamental period, modal mass participation, and maximum drifts. The selected alternative, based on metal truss frames, optimized load distribution, reduced the use of materials, and ensured the economic viability of the project. An environmental impact study was also carried out, identifying effects on air, soil, water, and noise, and proposing mitigation and prevention measures. Consequently, when the project budget was drawn up, the low cost of the proposed design became evident.
