Avaliação da geração de entulho em conjunto habitacional popular estudo de caso

Abstract

The residue from civil construction that in the recent past was seen as garbage and is still treated as such, even though it is under regulation, can be considered quality "raw material" for certain construction services. In the case of low-income housing, for which there is great demand and relatively few resources, knowledge of the generation of Residues of Construction and Demolition (RCD) at the construction site will encourage the improvement and rational use in projects, with consequent reduction in costs. The present case study regarding residues generated in popular housing projects deals with determining the quantity and the characteristics of residues, identifying the principal causes of its generation and, in this way, evaluate means for its reduction and for its utilization at the construction site itself. In addition, the impact of the current state of affairs on the cost of public administration and on the environment is projected. In this evaluation, project analyses, specifications of materials and services, projected quantities, instructions given to laborers, functioning of the construction site and other aspects were considered. After this, real data was gathered regarding the quality of the services undertaken, materials and labor, functioning of the construction site, etc. With a comparison of the results and analysis of economic impact, both social and environmental, we conclude that the utilization of RCD is necessary and that relatively simple interventions can be efficient and effective. As such, it will be possible to increase the offer of housing units of this nature, contribute to the preservation of the environment, reduce costs in removing material from the construction site and allow the development of new techniques and materials.
