Sistema construtivo com painéis de argamassa estrutural e enchimento em EPS

Abstract

The environmental and performance problems that, as a rule, accompany technological advances in civil construction may justify, on the contrary, the design and dissemination of sustainable and innovative construction systems, based on non-conventional techniques or materials. In some of these systems, the reduction of execution time and the lower costs of inputs have encouraged its dissemination, notably in small and medium-sized works. Aligned with these assumptions, this research, through a case study, compares the costs of inputs and the execution times of the constructive system with structural mortar panels and expanded polystyrene filling, with the conventional reinforced concrete and sealing in ceramic block. The methodological approach adpted in this exploratory research was case study of a single-family residence with one floor, of high standard, in the city of Santa Maria (RS). The data obtained and the comparative study between the constructive systems made it possible to conclude that the system that uses expanded polystyrene presented a saving of 0.71% in its costs and a reduction of 24.23% in the execution time of the project, in comparison with the system conventional.
