Projeto de um elevador de passageiros para o prédio C do Instituto Federal do Piauí - Campus Teresina Central

Abstract

Due to the process of verticalization of the urban environment, emerged increasing problems related to accessibility in buildings. A direct example of the lack of accessibility is present in Campus Teresina Central of Instituto Federal de Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí. The building have two upper floors and a total of 24 rooms, being distributed between laboratories, classrooms and administrative rooms. Currently, the only access to these floors is accomplished through ramps installed in the external structure of the building. It was verified throughout the study that the ramps were not in accordance with the requirements of the ABNT NBR 9050: 2015 standard regarding maximum slope. Faced with this problem, the project aimed to design and evaluate the installation of a lift in building-C as an alternative to reduce the time in access to the building's facilities, reduce physical effort and increase the quality of life of people who access these floors. The work includes the dimensioning of a passenger lift and its main components. All component sizing was done based on the Brazilian regulations regarding elevators. At the end of the project the configuration of an elevator with a maximum capacity of 8 passenger and without machine room was reached s. In addition to all the comfort and convenience provided by an elevator, the main purpose of the equipment is to extend the promotion of accessibility in the institution.
