Análise comparativa de viabilidade econômica entre alvenaria estrutural e paredes de concreto moldadas in loco – estudo de caso.

Abstract

The incessant search for technological innovations in industrial processes, coupled with the pursuit of cost reduction and increased productivity, is always a challenge in the field of civil construction. Thus, the construction method of Cast-in-Place Concrete Walls, commonly known as "In-loco," has been proving to be a growing alternative in Brazil compared to traditional methods such as Structural Masonry. Due to the demand for the use of this method, there was a noticeable need for its regulation in Brazil. Therefore, ABNT NBR 16055:2012 enables the development of structural projects and provides technical support in the execution of the structural system. Literature review and case study were the chosen methods for constructing this work. Therefore, the objective of this scientific article is to compare costs, productivity, and the execution process between structural masonry and Cast-in-Place Concrete Walls through a case study conducted in the Residential A building in the city of Paulínia, São Paulo. Thus, we understand that viability and construction techniques contribute to ensuring productivity, quality in the execution process, and cost reduction within the construction site.
