Resumen
External radiotherapy occupies a prominent place in cancer treatments. The constructions
of the linear accelerators of electronics bunkers are costly and this factor is
limiting so that more equipment is installed. It is necessary to research constructive
options with the objective of reducing costs, without loss of the guarantee of structural
stability and radiological protection as a barrier. In the screening study of these
facilities, various materials may be employed for radiation attenuation. Reinforced
concrete is used in many of these facilities, either for its cost or the constructive facility
in Brazil, due to the knowledge of this material. The objective of this study was
to design and analyze a bunker buried in reinforced concrete and as a comparative
of costs the structure of an ungrounded bunker was also designed, also in reinforced
concrete. Some advantages and disadvantages of each structural system were indicated,
as well as the costs of the basic structure of two models. The structure of
the walls, accesses, slabs, beams and pillars, as well as foundations, in terms of cost,
has the ratio of 4 times the bunker not buried to the buried bunker, a significant
value in the installation of a radiotherapy service.
