Resumo: | In the search for alternative sources to meet the growing demand for energy, wind production has been highlighted due to the great potential for its use in Brazil. Given the magnitude of the foundations of wind turbines, understanding their structural behavior is essential for designing optimized solutions that reduce costs and facilitate the implementation of this technology on a large scale. From this perspective, this article seeks to deepen the studies on the structural behavior of foundations for onshore wind turbines, represented by reinforced concrete pile caps. Computational models were developed using the Finite Element Method (FEM) with the aid of the Ansys Workbench R20 software, considering the contribution of the lateral friction of the pile shaft in the conduction of loads to the ground, as well as the settlement of the piles, through modeling non-linear numerical. The reinforcements of a wind tower foundation were designed and two different mesh organizations were proposed: circular (CR) and orthogonal (OR). From the simulations carried out, the distribution of reactions in the piles and the vertical displacements of the blocks were compared, in different types of soil. It was observed that the reinforced models presented a behavior close to that of rigid blocks, with a tendency towards uniformity of reactions and vertical displacements. At the end, the concrete cracking zones were determined and the tensions in the reinforcement were verified. The results showed that the highest stresses occurred in the models with circular reinforcement (CR), on average 2.06% higher than the OR models. This tendency was associated with the fact that the OR models have proved to be more rigid than the CR models which, being more deformable, impose greater stresses on the reinforcement when flexed by the moment of great magnitude that acts on the foundation. |

Dada la magnitud de los cimientos de los aerogeneradores, comprender su comportamiento estructural es fundamental para diseñar soluciones optimizadas que reduzcan costes y faciliten la implantación de esta tecnología a gran escala. Desde esta perspectiva, este artículo busca profundizar los estudios sobre el comportamiento estructural de cimentaciones para aerogeneradores terrestres, representados por bloques de hormigón armado sobre pilotes. Los modelos computacionales se desarrollaron utilizando el Método de Elementos Finitos (FEM) con la ayuda del software Ansys Workbench R20, considerando la contribución del rozamiento lateral del fuste del pilote en la conducción de cargas al suelo, así como el asentamiento de los pilotes, mediante modelado numérico no lineal. Se diseñaron los refuerzos de una cimentación de torre eólica y se propusieron dos organizaciones de malla diferentes: circular (AC) y ortogonal (AO). A partir de las simulaciones realizadas, se comparó la distribución de reacciones en los pilotes y los desplazamientos verticales de los bloques en diferentes tipos de suelo. Se observó que los modelos reforzados presentaron un comportamiento cercano al de los bloques rígidos, con tendencia a la uniformidad de reacciones y desplazamientos verticales. Al final, se determinaron las zonas de fisuración del hormigón y se verificaron los esfuerzos en la armadura. Los resultados mostraron que las mayores tensiones ocurrieron en los modelos con armadura circular (AC), en promedio 2.06% más alto que los modelos AO. Esta tendencia estuvo asociada a que los modelos AO han demostrado ser más rígidos que los modelos AC que, al ser más deformables, imponen mayores tensiones sobre la armadura cuando se flexiona por el momento de gran magnitud que actúa sobre la cimentación.Na busca por fontes alternativas para atender à crescente demanda por energia, a produção eólica tem tido destaque devido ao grande potencial para sua utilização no Brasil. Dada a magnitude das fundações de unidades aerogeradoras, a compreensão do seu comportamento estrutural é essencial para a concepção de soluções otimizadas, que reduzam custos e facilitem a implantação desta tecnologia em larga escala. Sob esta óptica, este artigo busca aprofundar os estudos acerca do comportamento estrutural de fundações para aerogeradores onshore, representadas por blocos de concreto armado sobre estacas. Foram desenvolvidos modelos computacionais, via Método dos Elementos Finitos (MEF) com o auxílio do software Ansys Workbench R20, considerando-se a contribuição do atrito lateral do fuste das estacas na condução de cargas ao solo, bem como o recalque das estacas, mediante modelagem numérica não linear. Foram dimensionadas as armaduras de uma fundação de torre eólica e propostas duas organizações distintas de malha: circular (AC) e ortogonal (AO). A partir das simulações realizadas, comparou-se, em diferentes tipos de solo, a distribuição das reações nas estacas e os deslocamentos verticais dos blocos. Observou-se que os modelos armados apresentaram um comportamento próximo ao de blocos rígidos, com uma tendência de uniformização das reações e dos deslocamentos verticais. Ao final, foram determinadas as zonas de fissuração do concreto e verificadas as tensões nas armaduras. Os resultados mostraram que as maiores tensões se deram nos modelos com armadura circular (AC), superiores, em média, 2,06% aos modelos AO. Tal tendência foi associada ao fato dos modelos AO terem se mostrado mais rígidos que os modelos AC que, sendo mais deformáveis, impõem às armaduras maiores tensões quando fletidos pelo momento de grande magnitude que atua na fundação.Research, Society and Development2022-01-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2314610.33448/rsd-v11i2.23146Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 2; e0711223146Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 2; e0711223146Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 2; e07112231462525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/23146/22241Copyright (c) 2022 Diego Lima Dantas; Daniel Nelson Maciel; Joel Araújo do Nascimento Neto; Kaique Yuri Márcio Araújo; Rodrigo Barroshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDantas, Diego LimaMaciel, Daniel NelsonNascimento Neto, Joel Araújo doAraújo, Kaique Yuri Márcio Barros, Rodrigo2022-02-07T01:42:50Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/23146Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:42:06.185601Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
