Indicadores de projeto em edifícios altos de alvenaria estrutural: abordagem visual com dashboards

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to develop design indicators for tall masonry buildings using dashboards as a visual approach to the data. To this end, projects from 32 buildings with between 10 and 20 floors in the states of São Paulo (SP) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ) were analyzed. In this analysis, the buildings were divided into three groups according to the number of floors: 10-13, 14-16, and 17-20. After that, statistical parameters such as mean, standard deviation, variance, as well as maximum and minimum values were calculated for each group of indicators, to identify patterns and differences between them. Then, dashboards were developed and created for critical and visual analysis of the indicators, organized in tabs for each index type. The results showed distinct variations between the types of indicators. While the grout indexes had an almost negligible dispersion between the three groups analyzed, the steel indexes in the grout demonstrated high patterns of variability, showing the specificity of each project. Finally, it was concluded that the use of dashboards optimizes the visualization and understanding of information, effectively complementing statistical methods.
