Abstract:
The present work aims to offer guidelines and indicate basic quality, performance and safety requirements, the technical standards are a summary of the experiences and knowledge learned through research, practices and techniques acquired in the most diverse fields of work, and are recommendations that must be followed in order to minimize the existence of conflicts. The Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) updates its versions from time to time in order to standardize processes. The Brazilian standard for the design of concrete structures ABNT NBR 6118 was revised in 2014 compared to its 2003 publication. structural calculation. Seeking to collaborate with this discussion, this work aims to verify, in a comparative way, according to the 2003 standard and the current standard in 2014, the main changes that occurred in the design of a reinforced concrete structure through a case study at the level of structural design of a small residential building measuring 141.96 m², with the aid of the computational tool Eberick software in its 2014 version, comparing results generated in terms of steel consumption, concrete volume, shapes, loads generated on the foundations, behavior of the structure against horizontal loads and its basic geometric characteristics such as columns, beams and slabs.
