Diseño de un sistema estructural y de climatización de un planetario giratorio tipo cúpula astronómica para el Observatorio Astronómico de Quito de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional

Abstract

The present project aims at the design, simulation and construction of a metallic structure in the form of dome itself that will be installed in the Astronomical Observatory of Quito, for the design referred to in the Ecuadorian construction norm, and it was taken in Consideration of the fluency resistances of the materials, and taking on consideration the NEC 2015 once the design is made, it is entered in the SAP 2000 program, and Inventor Professional 2018, through the finite elements design the elements that are more complex to design, finally, the workshop and the dome is built, dead, live loads, earthquake loads, SSP, and the respective safety factors for the correct design of the structure were considered in this project. For the air conditioning part, the different thermal loads to which the dome will be subjected are analyzed. and the respective calculation is made, and the respective equipment is chosen according to the energy demands of bringing the environment to the comfort zone.
