Do wood frame às paredes maciças de concreto: adaptação de um conceito construtivo adotado nos USA, comparando um modelo adaptado em alvenaria estrutural às paredes de concreto armado moldadas no local usadas no Brasil

Abstract

One of the main factors of rework, waste generation and low quality in the construction industry and the low rationalization and industrialization of the most widespread construction processes currently in Brazil. Thus, new systems come to bring a higher quality constructive standard with competitive prices. This makes rationalization and industrialization more and more present in the planning of a work. The use of optimization of processes, rationalization and industrialization are the output to increase the quality of the service and also decrease the man.hour / m² index, consequently reducing construction time, waste and final expenditure. This work tries to evaluate the application of these highly rationalizable and industrializable processes in Brazil, considering the history of this practice and the technological comparison of two construction systems, structural masonry, proposed by another author and molded concrete walls “in loco”, focus of this, for a standard residence of a middle-class residential condominium with productivity indexes mirrored in the American system and with national technology.
