Desenvolvimento e aplicação de técnicas modulares: Estudo de caso e perspectivas sustentáveis da indústria da construção

Abstract

The waste of raw materials, the generation of waste in an uncontrolled manner, and the lack of planning of a building are problems that, over time, should be abolished in construction, with sustainability aligned with the ethical principles of any construction company today. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, until today, with Modular Construction topics in constant advancement, these two combined themes represent innovative approaches that have been transforming the construction sector, applying industrial methods and technologies in the production of large-scale components. scale, accelerating the construction process, reducing costs, and having greater control of the entire production chain, until its final assembly. The most used materials in Brazil, based on modulation principles, are concrete, steel, and also reforested wood, each with its own manufacturing and assembly characteristics, but following the most precise standardization of its components, such as walls, slabs, and coverage, guaranteeing the client a quality building, executed by current technical standards, and less aggressive to the environment. With this in mind, this work seeks to exemplify how technological advancement and the idea of Modular Construction developed throughout human history, exemplifying the importance of the development of these topics, bringing an analysis of these materials most used today, in addition to a case study of public work, exemplifying the topics mentioned above, in a practical application for the development of society. It is possible to conclude that these systems need government support, through the promotion and use of Modular Constructions that are increasingly present in public works, possible for general use, in addition to support in reducing taxation that negatively affects the industrialization of construction, especially in items prefabricated.
