Uma proposta para habitações populares em elementos de pré-moldado leve de concreto

Abstract

The present paper contemplates the study of a popular habitation development, by using a construction system with lightweight precast elements. The literature review discourses about the emergence of precast elements in the country, its concept, its advantages and disadvantages, besides the necessary conditions for their development. A model of popular houses from the Public Housing Program of the Caixa Econômica Federal was used as the basis of project. The project development was from the modulation proposal by Caixa Econônima for a system of precast lightweight in panels, pillars and beams, all supported on cast in situ slab, which was detailed with a system of chalices and fittings that enable easy assembly. Each of the elements was detailed, as well the complementary systems: hydraulic, sewage and electric, so that the use of precast lightweight elements might be viable. Solutions have been proposed for each stage of the construction, such as fittings, fixings and sealing.
