Diseño estructural de galpón para ensamblaje metálico con puente grúa y energía solar en Guayaquil

Abstract

CONDITION FOR PUBLICATION OF PROJECT. The objective of this project is to design the structure of a sustainable industrial warehouse for a metalworking company in Guayaquil, integrating a bridge crane and photovoltaic system into the roof. The research is justified by the need for functional and safe industrial spaces that optimize manufacturing processes, reduce operating costs, and minimize environmental impact. For its development, current technical standards (NEC-SE-DS, NEC-SE-CG, AISC), structural modeling tools in SAP2000 and Tekla Structures, as well as preliminary soil analysis based on geotechnical records near the site were used. Gravitational, seismic, and operating loads of the bridge crane were calculated, verifying the strength and stiffness of frames, columns, and beams. In addition, the permissible load capacity of the ground was estimated based on the available drilling records. The results showed that the structure met the service and design requirements, ensuring stability against seismic and operational loads. It was also shown that the incorporation of solar panels reduces administrative operating costs by supplying power to the offices of the industrial complex. It is concluded that the proposed design represents an efficient and sustainable structural alternative that integrates functionality, safety, and clean energy, contributing to local industrial development.
