Diseño de edificio de 2 niveles multiusos para la fundación cultural la trinchera en Manta empleando herramientas de la construcción 4.0.

Abstract

This project aims to design a two-story multipurpose building for the Cultural foundation “La Trinchera”, to cover the need for storage spaces, rehearsals and artistic exhibitions, an approach that combines structural efficiency, regulatory compliance and the implementation of construction 4.0 tools is proposed, seeking to optimize resources and ensure the sustainability of the project. The development of the project included the structural design based on the client's requirements and the Ecuadorian Construction Standard (NEC). Software such as Excel and Ftool were used for structural calculations, and Revit for the 3D modeling and engineering integration. The designed structure consists of a portal frame system of compound structural steel sections, composed only of perimeter columns to maximize interior spaces. The main results include a design that complies with regulatory parameters, ensures the safety of users, and provides ample and flexible spaces for cultural activities. In addition, the application of technological tools allowed for better visualization and management of the project. It is concluded that the design meets the needs of the foundation, ensures durability, promotes sustainability, and applies technological innovations that improve the efficiency of the construction process.
