Estudo comparativo sobre consumo de madeira na construção de edificações convencionais e de alvenaria estrutural

Abstract

The construction industry is among the leading consumers of natural resources and waste generators. Among the main natural resources used in the conventional system of concrete execution, the reinforced one is in the wood. Since there is no final execution of the woodwork, use as final destination or landfill. Thus, this study aimed to make a comparison with respect to the wood consumed in the construction of uniform thermal, applicable buildings and structural masonry with the aid of TQS® and Eberick® software using sustainability. From the results of the calculations related to the wood consumption in two building systems, it was found that the structural masonry system is more advantageous for smaller background editions, reducing wood consumption by approximately 80%. Thus, this system is an excellent alternative for lower wood consumption, however, its best use is conditional on a project designed with necessary features such as modulation, which is easy to use and customer awareness about a building system that can in addition to bringing financial savings, acting positively on the environment. Sustainable actions in construction systems, practiced by engineering and architecture professionals, sensitized with the objectives of sustainable development in grafted constructions for the next millennium, provided economic, social and environmental benefits, fundamental for an efficient management of natural resources residues.
