Resumo
The use of steel formwork incorporated into composite steel-concrete slabs stands out for contributing to sustainable development in civil construction. However, this construction system still has limited usage in Brazil, which may be due to the restricted availability of formwork geometries in the national market. As such, this study aims to determine the optimal steel geometry that results in the lowest steel consumption during manufacture of the composite slabs, taking into consideration the initial construction phase, in which the formwork is under the highest load demand. The Direct Strength Method (DSM) and the traditional Effective Width Method (EWM) are applied for designing the steel formwork during the construction phase, where the coldformed steel profile resists the applied forces independently. For DSM, the critical buckling moments are determined using the elastic stability analysis program CUFSM, via Finite Strip Methods. The solution of the optimization problem was implemented in MATLAB® using Particle Swarm Optimization and considering two design variables: the thickness and the bend angle of the formwork web. In addition, the proposed formulation was evaluated in the implementation phase of DSM and EWM. Numerical analyses are carried out on four different steel geometries currently available in the Brazilian market. The main results showed that the developed computational program was successful in finding optimal solutions for said geometries, as the optimization reduced steel consumption by an average of 21.6%. Thickness had a greater effect on the steel savings, and this variable decreases in the optimal solution, while the height and bend angle increase.
