Concepção estrutural de um modelo padrão proposto de uma sala para leitos hospitalares

Abstract

The increasing demand for healthcare services, driven by population aging and the prevalence of comorbidities, has highlighted the need for hospital projects that prioritize efficiency and quality of care. Through a detailed literature review, this work sought to explore current practices and guidelines in hospital architecture. Based on these studies, the work proposed a design for the hospital bed room, aiming to meet the contemporary demands of an efficient and comfortable hospital environment. In a second phase, the structural design of the room was developed, emphasizing the ability to apply structural analyses using the structural calculation software TQS. The results show that the lack of participation from a healthcare facility and the outdated nature of some technical standards posed significant challenges that impacted design decisions. It was concluded that updating standards and greater integration between engineers and healthcare professionals are essential for the execution of more effective hospital projects aligned with modern healthcare needs. Additionally, the TQS software proved to be a good and efficient tool for the development and structural analysis of structures, reinforcing its applicability in structural projects. Furthermore, it was possible to enable two structural configurations for the proposed model: one using a solid slab and another with a ribbed slab.
