Verificação do atendimento aos requisitos de estanqueidade para sistemas de pisos e vedações verticais segundo a ABNT NBR 15.575(2013) - parte 3 e parte 4, na cidade de Campina Grande - PB.

Abstract

In a competitive market, cost reductions and innovations in construction methods are very important to stay competitive in the market. With the capitalist vision to obtein the greatest possible profit, some steps in the execution are usually skipped or neglected and the most harmed tends to be the user. ABNT NBR 15.575 / 2013 – Residential Buildings - Performance, was designed to measure subjective parameters, in order to give a performance standard for residential constructions to give the user a minimum level of compliance. The methods are now evaluated in its operation and not as they are executed, motivating the technological innovation. Because it is a system that can hardly see, the waterproofing of housing is often set aside to save resources which culminates in several pathological manifestations, unlike the system, the problems related to it are easily understood. An exploratory research was performed in order to analyze the perception of builders and compliance of measures of standard, which addressed the types of materials and methods used, requirements and design specifications. The present work aims to analyze the attendance and the impacts caused by the watertight criteria of ABNT NBR 15.575/2013 to the construction companies of the city of Campina Grande-PB. With the obtained results it could be observed that the companies still neglect the watertight systems, since no company follows all the steps that the standard addresses, from the conception to the execution of the system. However, for the most part, companies use the appropriate materials and methods to make the element waterproof by empirically making it watertight. However, most do not perform tests to ensure tightness, a failure in the system, because the laboratory and support staff is not effective in the region, as well as the oversight of the entire procedure to comply with ABNT NBR 15.575 (2013).
