CONCRETE DOSAGE ANALYSIS FOR FOUNDATION CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The present work aims to conduct a study on concrete for the construction of foundations, observing the possibility of using some dosage methods, conceptualized in this research; in addition to conceptualizing concrete and foundation; identify the correct dosage of concrete for the foundation to be safe and durable; know the regulatory standards such as NBR 6118 and 6122, which define the ideal concrete dosage to result in a quality and safe foundation. To perform this work, a bibliographic research was carried out, through academic articles, websites, regulatory standards and books. Through the research, it was possible to understand how relevant it is to define the concrete dosage for the construction of the foundation of a building, because, if the dosage is incorrect, the building, besides not becoming safe, may present pathological manifestations that reduce its durability. Thus, it is understood that analyzing the dosage of concrete, in the process of building a building, is important, especially in the construction stage of the foundations, because they are responsible for the structure of the building, making them safer and more durable.
